Item 1C. Cybersecurity Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy We have 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 plan. We design and assess our program based on the Center for Internet Security CIS Controls (“CIS Controls”). This does not imply that we meet any particular technical standards, specifications, or requirements, only that we use the CIS Controls as a guide to help us identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks relevant to our business. Our cybersecurity risk management program is part of our overall risk management program. Our cybersecurity risk management program includes: - risk assessments designed to help identify material cybersecurity risks to our critical systems, information, products, services, and our broader enterprise IT environment; - a security team principally responsible for managing (1) our cybersecurity risk assessment processes, (2) our security controls, and (3) our response to cybersecurity incidents; - the use of external service providers, if appropriate, to assess, test or otherwise assist with aspects of our security controls; - cybersecurity awareness training of our employees, incident response personnel, and senior management; - a third-party risk management process for service providers, suppliers, and vendors; and - a cybersecurity incident response plan that includes procedures for responding to cybersecurity incidents. To date, we have not identified risks from known cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any prior cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. Cybersecurity Governance Our Board considers cybersecurity risk as part of its risk oversight function and has delegated to the Audit Committee oversight of cybersecurity and other information technology risks. The Committee oversees management’s implementation of our cybersecurity risk management program. The Committee receives periodic reports on our cybersecurity risks and processes from management. In addition, management updates the Committee, as necessary, regarding any material cybersecurity incidents, as well as any incidents with lesser impact potential. The Committee reports to the full Board regarding its activities, including those related to cybersecurity. The full Board also receives briefings from management on our risk management program, which includes our cybersecurity risk management. Presentations on cybersecurity topics are made by our SVP, Technology a nd internal cybersecurity staff. Our management team, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel, SVP of Technology, and Director of Security, among others in support roles as needed, are responsible for assessing and managing our material risks from cybersecurity threats. This team has primary responsibility for our overall cybersecurity risk management program and supervises our internal cybersecurity personnel. Our management team members have relevant experience in risk assessment and management, and our Director of Security’s experience includes over 10 years of cybersecurity experience, Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) certification, and prior experience at other publicly traded companies with security frameworks, application security, IT security, Cloud security, SOX IT General Controls audits, and PCI-DSS compliance. 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.
