「In terms of its staffing structure, achieving efficient workforce allocation is currently the highest priority, but strengthening human resources is essential from a medium- to long-term growth perspective.

As the shortage of security personnel across the IT industry becomes increasingly severe, it is also actively working to recruit and develop younger personnel with the future in mind.」

「Regarding costs, in addition to continuing to promote infrastructure expansion measures, including strengthening the staffing structure, to achieve the medium- to long-term growth strategy described above, the company actively strengthened its sales activities. As a result, selling, general and administrative expenses were ¥652 million, up 3.7% year on year.」

As a result, selling, general and administrative expenses were ¥341 million, down 11.8% year on year.」

However, orders did not grow because the company was unable to secure enough engineers for its assessment services, resulting in a delayed start-up.」
