IP address connectivity restrictions, 2-Factor Authentication.
3. CSIRT
Cy-SIRT (Cybozu Computer Security Incident Response Team) is an in-house expert security group created to prepare against and handle any Security incidents. Cy-SIRT helps create policies to protect against threats and responds rapidly and in real-time to identify, contain, and eradicate threats as they arise.
4. Vulnerability & Penetration Testing
Kintone has third-party vulnerability testing auditors such as Vulnerability Defense Laboratory perform vulnerability/penetration audits on our platform on a semi-annual or as needed (when any major updates occur) basis.
A penetration test simulates the actions of an external and/or internal cyber attacker that aims to breach the information security of the organization.

5. Product-Based Secure Access Features
Read the help documentation for details on each feature. https://get.kintone.help/
SAML
Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an XML-based open standard data format that links authentication information across several security domains. If SAML Authentication is used, you can single sign-on into Kintone using the user account that is registered in your company’s Identity Provider (IdP). To use Kintone as the Service Provider (SP) to link with SAML Authentication, an IdP that supports SAML 2.0 is needed.
Two-factor authentication
Two-factor authentication is an added layer of security for your Kintone account. This makes it more difficult for someone else to log in to your account.
IP address restrictions
Restricts access from IP addresses that are not listed.
