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. We design and assess our program based on the FedRAMP framework. This does not imply that we meet any particular technical standards, specifications, or requirements, only that we use the FedRAMP requirements 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. Key elements of our cybersecurity risk management program include but are not limited to the following: ● Risk assessments designed to help identify material risks from cybersecurity threats to our critical systems and information. ● A cybersecurity leader principally responsible for managing (i) our cybersecurity risk assessment processes, (ii) our security controls, and (iii) our response to cybersecurity incidents. ● The use of external service providers , where appropriate, to assess, test or otherwise assist with aspects of our security processes. ● Cybersecurity awareness training for all our employees, including incident response personnel, and senior management. ● A cybersecurity incident response plan that includes procedures for responding to cybersecurity incidents. ● A third-party risk management evaluation process for key service providers based on our assessment of their criticality to our operations and respective risk profile, suppliers, and vendors with access to our information systems or data. We have not identified risks from known cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any prior cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. We face risks from cybersecurity threats that, if realized, are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. For more information, see the section titled “Risk Factor - Our business and operations may suffer in the event of information technology system failures, cyberattacks or deficiencies in our cybersecurity.” Cybersecurity Governance Our Board considers cybersecurity risk as part of its risk oversight function and has delegated to the Audit Committee (the “Committee”) oversight of cybersecurity risks, including oversight of management’s implementation of our cybersecurity risk management program. The Committee receives periodic reports from management on our cybersecurity risks. In addition, management updates the Committee, where it deems appropriate, regarding any cybersecurity incidents it considers to be significant or potentially significant, 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 cyber risk management program. Our management team takes steps to stay informed about and supervises efforts to prevent, detect, mitigate and remediate cybersecurity risks and incidents. Mercedes Soria, EVP and Chief Intelligence Officer / Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”) has primary responsibility for our overall cybersecurity program and supervises both our internal cybersecurity personnel and our retained external cybersecurity consultants. Ms. Soria has over four years of cyber risk management experience, and is primarily responsible for assessing and managing our material risks from cybersecurity threats. Ms. Soria actively leads her team’s efforts to prevent, detect, mitigate, and remediate cybersecurity risks and incidents through various means, which may include briefings from internal personnel, threat intelligence and other information obtained from governmental, public or private sources, including external vendors and consultants engaged by us, and alerts and reports produced by security tools deployed in our information technology environment and our products. As part of her responsibilities, Ms. Soria and her team will continue to monitor our systems for vulnerabilities, implement required updates, and undergo periodic reassessments thus ensuring that our cybersecurity practices remain effective over time.
