Cybersecurity Cybersecurity Governance The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) recognizes the critical nature of managing risks associated with cybersecurity threats and is responsible for oversight of the Company’s information security programs, including risk of cybersecurity threats. The Audit Committee, which supports the Board of Directors in the oversight of the Company’s information security program, oversees managements design, implementation and enforcement of our cybersecurity risk management program.

The Company also has an internal disclosure committee made up of members of management to assist in fulfilling its obligations to maintain disclosure controls and procedures and to coordinate and oversee the process of preparing our periodic securities filings with the SEC. The disclosure committee meets on a quarterly basis to ensure they are appropriately informed of any matters that should be considered in advance of applicable public filings, including cybersecurity and data privacy matters, and to address the proper handling and escalation of information to the Board and Audit Committee as needed.

This program includes the implementation of a set of system, network and application level controls to protect our data and systems. These controls are monitored for cybersecurity risks and incidents by internal staff and our third-party service provider and are updated as necessary to protect the Company. Our overall cybersecurity program includes: security tools, technologies and processes, control reviews and penetration tests cybersecurity awareness training exercises for our employees, including phishing simulations to raise internal awareness of 11 Table of Contents manipulated electronic communications and an annual review of System and Organization reports for critical third-party service providers.
