Fundamentals of Security

Security without sacrifice: Konica Minolta security standards

Konica Minolta realized early on the importance of security issues in the digital age, where the risk of seriously damaging security breaches rises dramatically alongside rapidly growing worldwide communication possibilities.

In response to these threats, Konica Minolta has taken a leading role in developing and implementing security-based information technology in our multifunctional products. Ever since the introduction of the first Konica Minolta MFP, Konica Minolta has strived to develop and implement technology that safeguards the confidentiality of electronic
documents.

The most important IT based security standard in the world is ISO 15408, also known as Common Criteria certification. Konica Minolta has newly introduced multifunctional bizhub products validated to Common Criteria EAL3 security standards. Common Criteria (CC) is the only internationally recognized standard for IT security testing.

Printers, copiers and software with the ISO 15408 certification are security evaluated, and guarantee the security levels
that companies look for today. With the CC certification users can rest assured that on Konica Minolta’s multifunctional
devices their confidential data remain confidential.

The Konica Minolta security standards provide protection in more than one respect, securing the network and network
access, ensuring secure, authorized access to individual output devices, restricting functionalities where required, and
protecting all personal user data and information content processed on the bizhub output systems.  Konica Minolta takes the security concerns of its customers seriously. This is why almost all of Konica Minolta’s comprehensive security functionality is standard on the new-generation bizhub systems. After all, users should not have to pay for capabilities that are an essential requirement for protecting customers’ sensitive corporate information
in the digital age!

This document discusses various generally important security requirements, and explains how Konica Minolta MFPs
comply with the rules and regulations set forth in the ISO 15408 (Common Criteria).
