Adopting advanced information technologies within the present broad application fields requires precise security. However, security problems regarding information privacy have occurred frequently over the last 5 years despite the contribution of these technologies. To respond to the need for securing information privacy, the Information Privacy Law was enacted on April 1, 2005 in Japan. One of the responses to this law enforcement is demanding a higher level of information risk management and search for more effective tools to be used for identity protection and problem-solving. Two examples of these tools include RAPID and IRMP. However, there is no established system-development model for either of these tools. Further developments to improve the RAPID and IRMP remain as new challenges. In this thesis, a new approach on developing a system security model to be used for information risk management is proposed. To demonstrate this approach, the object-oriented language is used.
