Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]
As a global technology and services leader, our business is heavily dependent upon information technology networks and systems. Protecting our systems, data, and information, as well as the information and data of our game-changers, clients, and partners, is a key priority.
We have established and maintain a corporate-wide information security management system and an integrated risk management framework with practices that are derived from industry standards, including ISO 31000, ISO 27001, HITRUST, PCI DSS, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”) Cybersecurity Framework, and data privacy regulations, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) and the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). The data security controls from these standards and regulations are evaluated as a component of our risk management framework, based on the needs of our business and our clients, the nature of our industry, and applicable regulations.
Risk Management and Strategy
We have implemented and maintain an Information Security Management System (“ISMS”) that covers information security, data protection, cybersecurity, application security, and other areas as necessary. As a part of our ISMS, we evaluate our security risk strategy on an ongoing basis to facilitate our response to the changing cybersecurity threat landscape and build a culture of security within Concentrix, we allocate and evaluate available resources, including technology, infrastructure, and personnel, to support information security initiatives, we regularly identify security risks and prepare and continuously update mitigation and response plans, including with respect to risks related to the use of our third party service providers, we report, investigate, and respond to suspected or confirmed information security risks, and we maintain a business continuity management process to counter potential interruptions to business activities and a data privacy program to protect personal and sensitive information. We regularly evaluate the ISMS for compliance with applicable regulatory, legislative, and contractual requirements, as well as recent trends and developments in security.
Our management team gathers information to support our efforts to prevent, detect, mitigate, and remediate cybersecurity risks and incidents from various sources, including reports from internal security personnel, threat intelligence, and other information obtained from governmental, public, or private sources, including external consultants engaged by us, and alerts and reports produced by the information security tools we utilize. Our Cyber Defense Operations Center (the “CDOC”) is a security operations center that operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week and is our first line of defense against cybersecurity threats. The CDOC continually monitors our information technology security infrastructure for anomalous behavior and other indications of potential threats to protect our data and systems.
We regularly conduct internal and external audits, reviews, assessments, and evaluations to evaluate our compliance posture and the effectiveness of our physical, technical, and organizational measures for protecting us and our systems. Elements of our cybersecurity program are also periodically audited as part of external certification audits. Third-party managed security providers and cybersecurity experts provide us with 24x7 monitoring, threat hunting, risk assessments, penetration testing, and attack surface management to support our Cyber Security Framework. Key findings from cybersecurity audits and third-party risk assessments are summarized and communicated to our senior leadership and the Audit Committee, and remediation actions are implemented to enhance our overall cybersecurity program. We contractually require our vendors to comply with cybersecurity and
data privacy requirements, and we perform risk assessments of vendors, including their ability to protect data from unauthorized access.
To facilitate the success of our risk management framework, multidisciplinary teams throughout the Company, including members of the legal department, operations, and senior management, are deployed to support risk mitigation and our response to threats and potential cybersecurity incidents. We also regularly conduct training and education to upgrade our game-changers’ knowledge of security risks and vulnerabilities. In fiscal year 2024, our game-changers completed mandatory security awareness training, resulting in a company-wide pass percentage of 95%. In August 2024, we held a Cyber and Fraud Awareness Month, which promoted best practices and vigilance in protecting information and data to prevent cyber-attacks, and educated game-changers on how to report phishing or suspicious messages through a dedicated reporting channel.
We are currently not aware of any cybersecurity incidents or threats that have materially impacted us or our business, financial condition, and results of operations. However, we and our clients routinely face risks of cybersecurity incidents, and there can be no assurance that our security efforts and measures, and those of our third-party providers, will prevent or mitigate a cybersecurity threat or incident that could adversely affect our business. For a discussion of these risks and others that we face, see “Risk Factors” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
