Item 1C. Cybersecurity.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity Overview Our board of directors (the “Board”) recognizes the critical importance of maintaining the trust and confidence of our customers, business partners, stockholders, and employees. Our audit committee is involved in direct oversight of our risk management program, and cybersecurity represents an important component of our overall approach to enterprise risk management (“ERM”). Our cybersecurity policies, standards, processes and practices are fully integrated into our ERM program and are based on recognized frameworks established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the International Organization for Standardization, and other applicable industry standards. We seek to address cybersecurity risks through a comprehensive, cross-functional approach that focuses on preserving the confidentiality, security and availability of the information that we collect and store by identifying, preventing and mitigating cybersecurity threats and effectively responding to cybersecurity incidents when they occur. Risk Management and Strategy As one of the critical elements of our overall ERM approach, our cybersecurity program is focused on the following key areas: Governance -Our audit committee oversees our ERM program, including the management of risks arising from cybersecurity threats, and are supported by the Information Security Steering Committee (the “ISSC”), the Cybersecurity Incident Response Team (the “CSIRT”), and our information security (“InfoSec”) team. Our audit committee receives presentations and reports on cybersecurity risks, which address a wide range of topics including recent developments, evolving standards, vulnerability assessments, third-party and independent reviews, the threat environment, technological trends and information security considerations arising with respect to our peers and third parties. The ISSC oversees the frameworks the InfoSec team uses to benchmark the controls and maturity of our security program. The ISSC is a cross-functional group that has oversight and input into the roadmap and projects reflecting the maturity benchmarks of the frameworks upon which we base our program, and receives monthly updates as to the status of the roadmap projects. The CSIRT monitors the prevention, detection, mitigation and remediation of cybersecurity threats and incidents in real time, and reports such threats and incidents to the ISSC, who then reports up to our audit committee when appropriate. The audit committee is responsible for escalating cybersecurity threats and incidents to the Board if and when appropriate. We have established frameworks so that our ISSC, audit committee, and board of directors also receive prompt and timely information regarding any cybersecurity incident that meets established reporting thresholds, as well as ongoing updates regarding any such incident until it has been addressed. To facilitate the success of our cybersecurity risk management program, the CSIRT is composed of multidisciplinary teams throughout Redfin who are deployed to address cybersecurity threats and to respond to cybersecurity incidents. The audit committee consists of at least three members of the Board. The ISSC includes our chief financial officer (“CFO”), our chief legal officer (“CLO”), and other key leaders across the company. Our chief technology officer (“CTO”) oversees our security team. Our CFO has over 30 years of experience managing risks at Redfin, Zappos, Amazon (Home and Garden), Bain & Company and Accenture, including risks arising from cybersecurity threats. Our CLO has 16 years of experience managing risks, including risks arising from cybersecurity threats. Our CTO has over 24 years of experience, including experience managing risks arising from cybersecurity threats across several industries to include health care and business solutions. Collaborative Approach -we have implemented a comprehensive, cross-functional approach to identifying, preventing and mitigating cybersecurity threats and incidents, while also implementing controls and procedures that provide for the prompt escalation of certain cybersecurity incidents, so that decisions regarding the public disclosure and reporting of such incidents can be made by management in a timely manner. The ISSC and the CSIRT work collaboratively to build and implement a program designed to protect our information systems from cybersecurity threats and to promptly respond to any cybersecurity incidents in accordance with our incident response and recovery plans. Technical Safeguards -We deploy technical safeguards that are designed to protect our information systems from cybersecurity threats, including rate-limiting and web application firewalls, anti-malware functionality, access controls, and threat detection systems including posture management tooling. We ensure the ongoing security and improves these technical safeguards through regular security reviews of components, code, libraries, and environments. Incident Response and Recovery Planning -We have established and maintain incident response and recovery plans that address our response to a cybersecurity incident. These plans are tested and evaluated on a regular basis. Third-Party Risk Management -We maintain a risk-based approach to identifying and overseeing cybersecurity risks presented by third parties, including vendors, service providers and other external users of our systems, as well as the systems of third parties that could adversely impact our business in the event of a cybersecurity incident affecting those third-party systems. Education and Awareness -We provide mandatory training for our personnel regarding cybersecurity threats as a means to equip our employees with effective tools to address cybersecurity threats, and to communicate our evolving information security policies, standards, processes and practices. We engage in the periodic assessment and testing of our policies, standards, processes and practices that are designed to address cybersecurity threats and incidents. These efforts include a wide range of activities, including audits, assessments, tabletop exercises, threat modeling, vulnerability testing and other exercises focused on evaluating the effectiveness of our cybersecurity measures and planning. We regularly engage third parties to perform assessments on our cybersecurity measures, including information security maturity assessments, audits and independent reviews of our information security control environment and operating effectiveness. The results of such assessments, audits and reviews are reported to the ISSC, the audit committee, and the Board, and we adjust our cybersecurity policies, standards, processes and practices as necessary based on the information provided by these assessments, audits and reviews. Insurance -We maintain cyber insurance coverage. Risks from Cybersecurity Threats To date we have not experienced any cybersecurity incidents, including any previous cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to affect our business, including our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition.
