Item 1C. Cybersecurity.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity. Risk management and strategy We have implemented and maintain various information security processes designed to identify, assess and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats to our critical computer networks, third party hosted services, communications systems, hardware and software, and our critical data, including intellectual property, confidential information that is proprietary, strategic or competitive in nature, and data related to our clinical trials and approved medications (“Information Systems and Data”). Our information security team, supported by our legal and compliance departments, help identify, assess and manage our cybersecurity threats and risks. Our information security team identifies and assesses risks from cybersecurity threats by monitoring and evaluating our threat environment using various methods, depending on the context, including, for example manual and automated tools, subscribing to reports and services that identify cybersecurity threats, analyzing reports of threats and threat actors, conducting scans of certain environments, evaluating our and our industry’s risk profile, evaluating threats reported to us, coordinating with law enforcement about certain threats, conducting internal audits and threat assessments, and conducting vulnerability assessments. Depending on the environment, we implement and maintain various technical, physical, and organizational measures, processes, standards and policies designed to manage and mitigate material risks from cybersecurity 90 threats to our Information Systems and Data, including, for example, incident detection and response procedures; disaster recovery/business continuity plans; risk assessments; implementation of security standards; encryption of certain data; network security, access, and physical controls for certain systems; management, tracking and disposal of certain assets; systems monitoring; employee training; penetration tests by third-party service providers; tabletop exercises; and cybersecurity insurance. Our assessment and management of material risks from cybersecurity threats are integrated into our overall risk management processes. For example, the information security team works with management to prioritize our risk management processes and mitigate cybersecurity threats that are more likely to lead to a material impact to our business and our senior management evaluates material risks from cybersecurity threats against our overall business objectives and reports to the audit committee of the board of directors, which evaluates our overall enterprise risk. We use third-party service providers to assist us from time to time to identify, assess, and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats, including for example professional service firms such as legal counsel, threat intelligence providers, cybersecurity consultants and software providers, and other third-party service providers including for identity management solutions. We use third-party service providers to perform a variety of functions throughout our business application providers, hosting companies, contract research organizations (CROs), contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs), supply chain resources, and other business-related SaaS platforms. We have a vendor management program to manage cybersecurity risks associated with our use of certain of these providers. The program includes conducting risk assessments of certain vendors, reviewing certain vendors’ security assessments, and reviewing reports of certain of our vendors’ security. Depending on the nature of the services provided, the sensitivity of the Information Systems and Data at issue, and the identity of the provider, our vendor management process may involve different levels of assessment designed to help identify cybersecurity risks associated with a provider and impose contractual obligations related to cybersecurity on the provider. For a description of the risks from cybersecurity threats that may materially affect us and how they may do so, see our risk factors under Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including " Our business is subject to complex, stringent and evolving U.S. and foreign laws, regulations, and rules, contractual obligations, industry standards, policies and other obligations relating to privacy and data protection. Our actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations could result in regulatory investigations or actions, litigations (including class claims) and mass arbitration demands, fines and penalties, disruptions of and changes to our business practices, monetary penalties, reputational harm, loss of revenue or profits, and other adverse business consequences. “; and " If our information technology systems, or those used by our CMOs, CROs or other contractors, consultants or third parties upon which we rely, or your data are or were compromised, we could experience adverse consequences, including but not limited to regulatory investigation, actions, litigation, fines and penalties, disruptions of our business operations, reputation harm, loss or revenue or profits, and other adverse consequences. " Governance Our board of directors addresses our cybersecurity risk management as part of its general oversight function. The board of directors’ audit committee is responsible for overseeing our cybersecurity risk management processes, including oversight of mitigation of risks from cybersecurity threats. Our cybersecurity risk assessment and management processes are implemented and maintained by certain Company management, including our Senior Director of Information Technology/Information Security, internal legal counsel, Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”), and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). Our Senior Director of Information Technology/Information Security has over ten years of experience in information technology and security, and previously held positions such as Associate Director of Informational Technology and Operations, Senior Manager of Informational Technology, and similar roles at other companies. Our Senior Director of Information Technology/Information Security is responsible for hiring appropriate personnel, helping to integrate cybersecurity risk considerations into the Company’s overall risk management strategy, helping prepare for cybersecurity incidents, approving cybersecurity processes, reviewing security assessments and other security-related reports, and communicating key priorities to relevant personnel. Our CFO is responsible for approving budgets as related to cybersecurity. 91 Our incident response and vulnerability management processes are designed to escalate certain cybersecurity incidents to members of management depending on the circumstances, including the Senior Director of Information Technology/Information Security, Data Protection Officer, and the Vice President, Legal. These individuals work with our incident response team to help us mitigate and remediate cybersecurity incidents of which they are notified. In addition, our incident response processes include reporting to the audit committee of the board of directors for certain cybersecurity incidents. The audit committee of the board of directors receives annual reports from our Senior Director of Information Technology/Information Security concerning our significant cybersecurity threats and risk and the processes we have implemented to address them. The audit committee of the board of directors also receives and has access to various presentations related to cybersecurity threats, risk and mitigation.
