Item 1C. Cybersecurity.

Item 1C. Cybers ecurity 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, software and critical data, including intellectual property, clinical trial data, and other confidential information that is proprietary, strategic or competitive in nature ( Information Systems and Data ). Our information security function, led by our Director of Information Technology, helps identify, assess and manage the Company s cybersecurity threats and risks, including through the use of the Company s risk register. Our Director of Information Technology helps to identify and assess risks from cybersecurity threats by monitoring and evaluating our threat environment using various methods including, for example, monitoring provided by a third-party security operations center, deploying manual and third-party service provider automated tools in certain environments, subscribing to reports and services that identify cybersecurity threats (and analyzing such reports), conducting scans of certain environments, evaluating our industry s risk profile and threats reported to us, conducting internal audits and threat assessments for certain threats, conducting vulnerability assessments using third-party tools to identify vulnerabilities, engaging third parties to conduct threat assessments, using external intelligence feeds and monitoring the dark web. 98 Depending on the environment and system, we implement and maintain various technical, physical and organizational measures, processes, standards and policies designed to manage and mitigate material risks from cybersecurity threats to our Information Systems and Data including, for example: incident response plans and policies; vulnerability management policy; disaster recovery and business continuity plans; risk assessments; encryption of certain data; network security controls and data segregation for certain systems; access controls; physical security controls; asset management, tracking, and disposal; systems monitoring for certain systems; employee training; penetration testing of certain environments and cybersecurity insurance. Our assessment and management of material risks from cybersecurity threats are taken into account as part of the Company s risk management processes. For example, our Director of Information Technology works with management to help 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 professional services firms (including legal counsel), threat intelligence service providers, cybersecurity consultants and software providers, managed cybersecurity service providers, penetration testing firms, dark web monitoring services, forensic investigators and endpoint detection and response vendors. We use third-party service providers to perform a variety of functions throughout our business, such as application providers, hosting companies, contract research organizations, contract manufacturing organizations, distributors and supply chain resources. Depending on the nature of the services provided, the sensitivity of the Information Systems and Data at issue, and the identity of the provider, we may utilize various vendor management processes that may include reviews of security assessments or certifications and contractual measures. For a description of the risks from cybersecurity threats that may materially affect the Company 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 information technology systems or those of third parties we rely on, or our data 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 and other adverse consequences. Governance Our board of directors addresses the Company s cybersecurity risk management as part of its general oversight function. The board of directors audit committee is responsible for overseeing the Company s cybersecurity risk management processes, including oversight and mitigation of risks from cybersecurity threats. We also have a Corporate Information Security Steering Committee ( CISSC ), which includes several members of senior management, including the Chief Financial Officer ( CFO ) and General Counsel. The CISSC oversees corporate information security initiatives and the Company s responses to cybersecurity incidents, and reports to the board of directors on certain of the Company s corporate security programs and investments. Our cybersecurity risk assessment and management processes are implemented and maintained by certain Company management, including our Director of Information Technology, Gio Hernandez, who has over 15 years of experience in information security. Mr. Hernandez reports to our CFO, Rodney Young, who has approximately 20 years of experience supervising the information technology function. Mr. Hernandez is responsible for hiring appropriate personnel, helping to develop the Company s cybersecurity risk management strategy and communicating key priorities to relevant personnel. Mr. Hernandez is also responsible for helping prepare for cybersecurity incidents, approving cybersecurity processes and reviewing security assessments and other security-related reports. Mr. Young is responsible for approving cybersecurity-related budgets. Our cybersecurity incident response and vulnerability management policies are designed to escalate certain cybersecurity incidents to members of senior management depending on the circumstances, including our CFO and Chief Executive Officer. Senior management through the CISSC works with the Company s incident response team to help the Company mitigate and remediate cybersecurity incidents of which they are notified. In addition, the Company s incident response and vulnerability management policies include reporting to the audit committee of the board of directors for certain cybersecurity incidents. 99 The audit committee 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 audit committee also has access to various reports, summaries or presentations related to cybersecurity threats, risk and mitigation.
