Cybersecurity Risk Management, Strategy, and Governance [Line Items] |
Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block] | We rely on the cybersecurity strategy and policies implemented by Ares Management, the parent of both our investment adviser and our administrator. Ares Management’s cybersecurity strategy prioritizes detection and analysis of and response to known, anticipated or unexpected threats, effective management of security risks and resilience against cyber incidents. Ares Management’s enterprise-wide cybersecurity program is aligned to the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework. Ares Management’s cybersecurity risk management processes include technical security controls, policy enforcement mechanisms, monitoring systems, tools and related services, which include tools and services from third-party providers, and management oversight to assess, identify and manage risks from cybersecurity threats. Ares Management has implemented and continues to implement risk-based controls designed to prevent, detect and respond to information security threats and we rely on those controls to help us protect our information, our information systems, and the information of our investors and other third parties who entrust us with their sensitive information. Ares Management’s cybersecurity program includes physical, administrative and technical safeguards, as well as plans and procedures designed to help Ares prevent and timely and effectively respond to cybersecurity threats and incidents, including threats or incidents that may impact us, our investment adviser or our administrator. Ares Management’s cybersecurity risk management process seeks to monitor cybersecurity vulnerabilities and potential attack vectors, evaluate the potential operational and financial effects of any threat and mitigate such threats. The assessment of cybersecurity threats, including those which may impact us, our investment adviser or our administrator, is integrated into Ares Management’s Enterprise Risk Management program, which is overseen by the Ares Enterprise Risk Committee (the “Ares Management ERC”), as discussed below. In addition, Ares Management periodically engages with third-party consultants and key vendors to assist it in assessing, enhancing, implementing and monitoring its cybersecurity risk management programs and responding to incidents. The Ares Management cybersecurity risk management and awareness programs include periodic identification and testing of vulnerabilities, regular phishing simulations and annual general cybersecurity awareness and data protection training including for employees of our investment adviser and our administrator. Ares Management also has annual certification requirements for employees, including employees who provide services to us pursuant to our investment advisory and management agreement and our administration agreement with respect to certain policies supporting the cybersecurity program including Ares Management’s Information Security and Electronic Communications policy, Data Protection policy and Privacy Policy. Ares Management undertakes periodic internal security reviews of our information systems and related controls, including systems affecting personal data and the cybersecurity risks of Ares Management’s and our critical third-party vendors and other partners. Ares Management also completes periodic external reviews of its cybersecurity program and practices, which include assessments of relevant data protection practices and targeted attack simulations. In the event of a cybersecurity incident impacting us, our investment adviser, or our administrator, Ares Management has developed an incident response plan that provides guidelines for responding to such an incident and facilitates coordination across multiple operational functions of Ares Management, including coordinating with the relevant employees of our investment adviser and our administrator. The incident response plan includes notification to the applicable members of cybersecurity leadership, including Ares Management’s Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”), and, as appropriate, escalation to the full Ares Management ERC and/or an internal ad-hoc group of senior employees, tasked with helping to manage the cybersecurity incident. Depending on their nature, incidents may also be reported to the audit committee or full board of directors of Ares Management, as well as to the audit committee of our board of directors and to our full board of directors, if appropriate.
