Risk Management and Strategy
Cybersecurity has been identified as one of the most significant risks in today’s business environment, and we have classified it as such within our risk management framework. Our Risk Management Policy provides an integrated vision of managing this risk. It includes strategies and performance monitoring regularly reporting to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors. These bodies are tasked with overseeing our risk management efforts. Our risk management processes are independently audited to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. These rules apply to our Group Divisions, wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries, and are recommended for entities we jointly control, affiliates, and other investments.
Our comprehensive cybersecurity risk management program is designed to safeguard the integrity of our information and maintain the resilience of our cyber environment. It includes the following measures:
Conforming our cyber practices to internationally established cybersecurity framework best practice standards set out by the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (NIST-CSF).
Utilizing material components in our cybersecurity framework, such as multifactor authentication, identity governance and administration, privilege access management, network firewalls, web application firewalls, antivirus, endpoint detection and response, vulnerability assessment/management, external offensive security testing and penetration testing, threat intelligence services, security awareness training platform and Security Operation Center (24/7).
Involving a comprehensive team responsible for day-to-day cybersecurity related matters including our Information Security team, Privacy, Legal, Compliance, Audit, Human Resources, and Corporate teams.
Conducting annual cybersecurity awareness training for employees, interns, contractors and executive management team involved in our systems using a security awareness training platform that includes regular phishing testing with additional reinforcement training if necessary.
Maintaining a robust incident response plan which includes definition of Copel’s communication team (Crisis Commission) with representatives from various areas such as IT, Legal, Compliance, Investor Relations, Marketing, Data Protection Officer and business areas. This team is responsible for internal communication, including reports to the boards of directors and deliberations regarding the progress of external communication to the various stakeholders involved.
Regularly reviewing, testing, updating and approving cybersecurity processes by conducting penetration testing, external offensive security testing vulnerability scanning and attack simulation.
Involvement in broader industry initiatives and organizations relating to cybersecurity such as collaborating with organizations across different industries to share best practices, fight cybercrime, enhance privacy, discuss new technologies, and advance capabilities in these areas.
We also engage with companies specialized in cybersecurity and information security consulting and auditing to evaluate the structure and test the effectiveness of our processes and to provide trainings. Our cybersecurity risk management processes extend to the oversight and identification of cybersecurity risks from our association with our use of third-party service providers.
Our Information and Cybersecurity Policy outlines the key strategies we follow to safeguard our corporate information and other assets. It helps us manage risks effectively and ensure the ongoing operation of our business. Additionally, we have a Privacy and Data Protection Policy that governs how we collect, use, and share information obtained through our websites. This policy adheres to the requirements of the Brazilian General Personal Data Protection Law (“LGPD”).
In 2024, our business strategy, results of operations and financial condition have not been materially affected by risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of previous cybersecurity incidents. We cannot provide assurance that they will not be materially affected in the future by such risks and any future material incidents.
