Chiyoda Accomplishes Engineering Industry First -- Acquires ISO 27001 Information Security Management System Certification for All Head Office Operations

YOKOHAMA, Japan--(Business Wire)--
Chiyoda Corporation (TOKYO:6366)(ISIN:JP3528600004) has acquired
third-party certification under the international information security
management system (ISMS) standard ISO/IEC 27001:2005 (JIS Q
27001:2006). The certifying agency was BSI Management Systems Japan
K.K. The certification covers all head office operations from
engineering, including R&D, to project management, procurement and
related operations, and administration. Chiyoda is the first company
in Japan's engineering industry to acquire companywide certification.

Over many years conducting engineering, procurement and
construction projects for all types of plants and facilities in Japan
and overseas, Chiyoda has built a stock of management and technical
information, as well as the privileged information assets of clients,
licensors and joint venture and other business partners. Securely and
suitably protecting and maintaining these assets, and using them
effectively, is essential to the smooth execution of Chiyoda's
engineering projects. Since its establishment, Chiyoda has worked to
maintain and apply information security manuals. In 2001, the Company
constructed an ISMS framework that conformed with the British standard
BS 7799, a precursor to ISO 27001, and in 2007 created an ISO
27001-compliant framework to maintain and improve information
security.

Aiming to be the "Reliability No. 1" company, Chiyoda determined
the need for objective confirmation of its ongoing efforts to
establish and enhance information security in all areas of operation.
On December 16, 2007, Chiyoda acquired third-party certification under
the ISMS standard ISO/IEC 27001:2005 (JIS Q 27001:2006).

With this certification as an objective evaluation of its
information security, Chiyoda expects client and stakeholder trust
will increase and its ability to compete for contracts and execute
projects will further improve. Chiyoda will establish and entrench an
information security management culture that involves all employees by
promoting the spread of ISMS throughout the Company, enhancing
information security education, and with other initiatives. At the
same time, the Company will strengthen its ISMS by maintaining
certification and undergoing renewal inspections, thus further
increasing trust in its information security.

Chiyoda Corporation, headquartered in Yokohama, Japan, provides
services in the field of engineering, procurement and construction
(EPC) for gas processing, oil refineries and other hydrocarbon
processing and industrial plant projects, particularly in Gas Value
Chain areas, on a global basis including the Middle East, Russia,
Africa and South East Asian regions. For 60 years, Chiyoda has
constantly leveraged its extensive experience and a far-reaching
global network to give it an unrivaled advantage.
