Item 1C. Cybersecurity.

Item 1C. CYBERSECURITY Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy We have developed and implemented a cybersecurity risk management program intended to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our critical systems and information. Our cybersecurity risk management program includes a cybersecurity incident response and reporting plan. We design and assess our program based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF). This does not imply that we meet any particular technical standards, specifications, or requirements, only that we use the NIST CSF as a guide to help us identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks relevant to our business. Our cybersecurity risk management program is integrated into our overall enterprise risk management program, and shares common methodologies, reporting channels and governance processes that apply across the enterprise risk management program to other legal, compliance, strategic, operational, and financial risk areas. Our cybersecurity risk management program includes: - periodic risk assessments designed to help identify material cybersecurity risks to our critical systems, information, products, services, and our broader enterprise IT environment; - teams principally responsible for managing (1) our cybersecurity risk assessment and mitigation processes, (2) our security controls, and (3) our response to cybersecurity incidents; - cybersecurity awareness training of our employees, incident response personnel, and senior management; - a cybersecurity incident response and reporting plan that includes procedures for responding to cybersecurity incidents; - a team responsible for compliance with security and regulatory standards including but not limited to Service Organization Controls (SOC) reporting, International Organization for Standardization (ISO) frameworks 27001/27017/27018/27701, FedRAMP, and HIPAA; - the use of external service providers, where appropriate, to audit, assess, test or otherwise assist with aspects of our security controls, and to assist with the design and implementation of our cybersecurity policies and procedures; and - a third-party risk management process for service providers, suppliers, and vendors. While we have technology and processes in place to detect and respond to cybersecurity threats, we are continually at risk from the evolving cybersecurity threat landscape. We do not believe our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition have been materially affected by risks from cybersecurity threats, but we cannot provide assurance that they will not be materially affected in the future by such risks. For additional information regarding risks from cybersecurity threats, please refer to Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 46 Cybersecurity Governance One of the key functions of our Board of Directors is informed oversight of our risk management process, including risks from cybersecurity threats. Our Board of Directors is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure, and our officers are responsible for the day-to-day management of the material risks we face. Our Board of Directors administers its cybersecurity risk oversight function directly as a whole, as well as through the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee oversees management’s implementation of our cybersecurity risk management program. The Audit Committee receives quarterly reports from management on our cybersecurity risks. In addition, management updates the Audit Committee, as necessary, regarding any material cybersecurity incidents, as well as any incidents with lesser impact potential. The Audit Committee reports to our full Board regarding its activities, including those related to cybersecurity. Our Board of Directors also receives briefings from management on our cyber risk management program. Board members receive presentations on cybersecurity topics from our chief information security officer or external experts as part of the Board of Directors’ continuing education on topics that impact public companies. Our chief information security officer and chief compliance officer are responsible for assessing and managing our material risks from cybersecurity threats. They also have primary responsibility for our overall cybersecurity risk management program and supervise both our internal cybersecurity personnel and our retained external cybersecurity consultants. Our management team’s experience includes industry-specific expertise in SaaS technology, regulatory compliance knowledge, previous leadership roles in cybersecurity or related fields, as well as a track record of successfully implementing effective cyber risk mitigation strategies. Our management team supervises efforts to prevent, detect, mitigate, and remediate cybersecurity risks and incidents through various means, which may include briefings from internal security personnel; threat intelligence and other information obtained from governmental, public or private sources, including external consultants engaged by us; and alerts and reports produced by security tools deployed in the IT environment.
