Cybersecurity Risk Management, Strategy, and Governance [Line Items]  
Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]
Our policies, practices, and standards for addressing material risks associated with cybersecurity are integrated into our overall risk management and are based on industry standards including the National Institute of Standards and Technology ("NIST") which aligns the prevention techniques, identification, protection, detection, response, and recovery related to an incident. These controls are tested by our information security organization and by independent third parties. We actively engage with industry groups for awareness of best practices and our third-party providers for industry benchmarking of critical areas within our cybersecurity posture.
Our organization-wide information security program focuses on implementing effective and efficient controls, technologies, and other processes to help protect, identify, assess, manage and mitigate material cybersecurity threats and incidents. These processes include, among other things, regular testing of these controls through table-top exercises, penetration and vulnerability testing, auditing of our information security by an independent third-party auditor, ongoing security awareness training for employees and other educational programs, and continuous monitoring of our cybersecurity posture. We also employ numerous tools including, but not limited to, segregated layers of controls for access to our systems and security tools that help identify, isolate, remediate, and recover from identified vulnerabilities and security incidents in a timely manner. Our cybersecurity posture is managed by both our information security organization and through partnerships with industry recognized cybersecurity firms. We also utilize a third-party Virtual Chief Information Security Officer ("vCISO"). The vCISO works with the CIO and security team, including preparing and/or presenting key information to the Company's Audit Committee, as necessary.
We have also created, and tested through incident response drills, the Freshpet Incident Response Plan and Playbook, which together set forth policy-level directives as well as specific guidelines for implementation, that describe our process for responding in the event of certain defined cyber incidents. These protocols (i) define the roles and responsibilities of participants, relationships to other Company policies and procedures, and reporting requirements needed during an incident, (ii) provide a framework by which our Incident Response Team ("IRT") shall determine the scope and risk of an incident, respond appropriately to that incident, and inform the Board and others depending upon the nature and severity of the incident, and (iii) reduce the likelihood of a similar incident from reoccurring following identification of such an incident.
