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 plan. Our cybersecurity risk management program is informed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (‘NIST’) Cybersecurity Framework (‘CSF’) and incorporates its principles in assessing, identifying, and managing cybersecurity risks relevant to our business. While we leverage the NIST CSF as a foundational guide, our program is tailored to our specific operational and risk environment. 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: ▪ 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 led by our Chief Information and Technology Officer principally responsible for managing our (1) cybersecurity risk assessment processes, (2) security controls, and (3) response to cybersecurity incidents; ▪ the use of external service providers, where appropriate, to assess, test or otherwise assist with aspects of our security controls and designed to anticipate cyber-attacks and prevent breaches; Shake Shack Inc. Form 10-K | 45 ▪ cybersecurity awareness training of our employees, incident response personnel, and senior management; ▪ a cybersecurity incident response plan that includes procedures for responding to cybersecurity incidents; and ▪ a structured third-party risk management program that includes due diligence, contractual security requirements, and continuous monitoring for service providers, suppliers, and vendors to mitigate risks associated with external partnerships. . Cybersecurity risks are actively monitored through continuous security assessments, real-time threat intelligence, and adaptive security controls, enable proactive adjustments to our security program as threats evolve. As part of our ongoing cybersecurity risk management program, we have from time-to-time identified risks or threats to our digital and corporate systems, including attempts to obtain team member credentials through bot and phishing attacks or through social engineering. While these risks and threats, as well as others we identify, require active and ongoing efforts to mitigate, we have not currently identified 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 Audit Committee oversees management’s implementation of our cybersecurity risk management program, including reviewing risk assessments from management with respect to our information technology systems and procedures, and overseeing our cybersecurity risk management processes. The Audit Committee receives quarterly reports from management on our cybersecurity risks. In addition, management will update the Audit Committee, as necessary, regarding cybersecurity incidents, that we may experience. The Audit Committee reports to the full Board regarding its activities, including those related to cybersecurity. The full Board also receives briefings from management on our cyber risk management program. Board members receive presentations on cybersecurity topics from our Chief Information and Technology Officer (“CITO”), who has been designated as our Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”), internal security staff or external experts as part of the Board’s continuing education on topics that impact public companies. Our management team, including our CITO, is responsible for assessing and managing our material risks from cybersecurity threats. The team has primary responsibility for our overall cybersecurity risk management program and supervises both our internal cybersecurity personnel and our retained external cybersecurity consultants. Our cybersecurity risk management is led by our CITO , who has extensive experience in cybersecurity, information risk management, digital innovation, technology transformation, operations, and regulatory compliance. The CITO is supported by dedicated security professionals and external advisors to ensure a comprehensive and adaptive security strategy. 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.
