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 clinical trial and other trial participant data (“Information Systems and Data”). The head of our information security team (Svai Sanford, Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”)), our information security team and our legal team help identify, assess and manage our cybersecurity threats and risks. This group works to identify and assess risks from cybersecurity threats by monitoring and evaluating our threat environment using various methods including, for example deploying certain automated tools, subscribing to reports and services that identify certain cybersecurity threats, conducting scans of certain threat environments, evaluating certain threats reported to us, using external intelligence feeds, and conducting vulnerability assessments in certain environments and systems to identify vulnerabilities. Depending on the environment and system, we implement and maintain various technical, physical, and organizational measures, and processes designed to manage and mitigate material risks from cybersecurity threats to our Information Systems and Data, including, for example: incident detection and response processes, disaster recovery and business continuity plans, encryption of certain data, network security controls and access controls in certain environments and systems, monitoring certain systems, physical security of certain assets, asset management, employee training, 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. 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 threat intelligence service providers and dark web monitoring services. We use third-party service providers to perform a variety of functions throughout our business, such as application providers, hosting companies, and clinical data management and processing service providers. We have a vendor management program to manage cybersecurity risks associated with our use of certain of these providers. The program includes a review of certain information security measures of certain vendors. 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. 95 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 1. Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including “If our internal technology systems or sensitive information, or those used by our third-party collaborators, vendors, contractors or consultants, are or were compromised, we could experience adverse consequences resulting from such compromise, including but not limited to regulatory investigations or actions; litigation; fines and penalties; disruptions of our business operations; reputational harm; loss of revenue or profits; loss of customers or sales; 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’ 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 of our management, including our CFO, who oversees our information security team and has over 2 years of experience overseeing such function. Our CFO is responsible for hiring appropriate personnel, helping to integrate cybersecurity risk considerations into our overall risk management strategy, and communicating key priorities to relevant personnel. Our CFO is also responsible for approving budgets, helping prepare for cybersecurity incidents, approving cybersecurity processes, and reviewing security assessments and other security-related reports. Our cybersecurity incident response processes are designed to escalate certain cybersecurity incidents to members of management depending on the circumstances. The incident management team helps us mitigate and remediate cybersecurity incidents of which they are notified. In addition, our incident response processes include reporting to the board of directors for certain cybersecurity incidents. The board receives periodic reports from management concerning the Company’s significant cybersecurity threats and risk and the processes the Company has implemented to address them. The board also receives various reports, summaries or presentations related to cybersecurity threats, risk and mitigation.
