ITEM 1C. CYBE RSECURITY 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, and our critical data, including intellectual property, confidential information that is proprietary, strategic or competitive in nature such as data about our research and clinical trials ( Information Systems and Data ). Our information security function, which includes our information technology Managed Service Provider (MSP), helps identify, assess and manage the Company s cybersecurity threats and risks. We identify and assess risks from cybersecurity threats by monitoring and evaluating our threat environment using various methods including: manual and automated tools subscribing to and analyzing reports and services that identify cybersecurity threats evaluating threats reported to us and conducting vulnerability assessments. Depending on the environment, systems, and data, 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: an incident response process disaster recovery/business continuity plans encrypting certain data using network security controls maintaining access controls managing assets and maintaining cybersecurity insurance. Our assessment and management of material risks from cybersecurity threats are integrated into the Company s overall risk management processes. For example, (1) cybersecurity risk is addressed as a component of the Company s enterprise risk management program (2) we prioritize our risk management processes to include mitigation of risks from cybersecurity threats that are more likely to lead to a material impact to our business (3) management evaluates material risks from cybersecurity threats against our overall business objectives and reports to the Audit Committee, which evaluates our overall enterprise risk. 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 our information technology MSP. We use third-party service providers to perform a variety of functions throughout our business, such as distributors and supply chain resources and contract research organizations (CRO) and contract manufacturing organizations (CMO). We have certain vendor management processes to manage cybersecurity risks associated with our use of certain providers, depending on the nature of the services provided, the sensitivity of the Information Systems and Data at issue, and the identity of the provider. These processes may include information security questionnaires, assessments, and imposition of contractual obligations relating to cybersecurity. We have not identified any cybersecurity incidents or threats that have materially affected us or are reasonably likely to materially affect us. 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 I. Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including If our information technology systems or data, or those of third parties upon which we rely, 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, through its Audit Committee, is responsible for overseeing Company s 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 Company management, including our Vice President, Human Resources & IT, who has over 22 years of human resources experience in various industries including in executive roles and has led our IT function since joining the Company. Management is responsible for budgeting, hiring appropriate cybersecurity personnel, and helping to integrate cybersecurity risk considerations into the Company s overall risk management strategy. Our cybersecurity incident response process is designed to escalate certain cybersecurity incidents to members of management depending on the circumstances, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Legal Officer, and Vice President, Human Resources & IT, who help the Company mitigate and remediate cybersecurity incidents of which they are notified. In addition, the Company s incident response process includes reporting to the Audit Committee for certain cybersecurity incidents.
