Cybersecurity Risk Management, Strategy, and Governance [Line Items] |
Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block] | Risk Management and Strategy We have integrated processes in place to manage information technology vulnerabilities, including technological tools and applications, and controls. Two step and multi-factor authentication is required for both internal and external access. Anti-virus and malware endpoint protection software is used on all Company and non-Company information systems workstations and laptops, as well as email filtering protection. We also subscribe to a Managed Threat Response service that proactively monitors all systems. System event logs are produced and reviewed, with all exceptions and anomalies of actions affecting or relevant to information security identified and investigated. The Security Operations Center from Sophos manages this service which reviews, identifies, and investigates threats in coordination with our internal teams. Software updates and configuration changes applied to information resources are tested prior to widespread implementation and are implemented in accordance with our change control policy. All information resources are scanned on a regular basis to identify missing updates. Missing software updates are evaluated and updates that pose an unacceptable risk to us are implemented and installed to the relevant information resources. Penetration testing and vulnerability scans of the internal network, external network, and hosted applications is conducted at scheduled intervals and after any significant changes to the information system environment. Any exploitable vulnerabilities found during a penetration test are remediated and the systems re-tested to verify vulnerabilities are resolved. Evidence of compromised or exploited information resource found during vulnerability scanning is reported to the Information Security Committee. Third-Party Engagement To maintain the highest standards of cybersecurity, we actively engage with specialized third-party assessors. This engagement is crucial for an unbiased evaluation of our cybersecurity posture and for gaining insights into industry best practices. The following outlines our general approach in engaging these external entities: Selection of Qualified Assessors: We select third-party assessors based on their expertise, industry reputation, and alignment with our cybersecurity needs. Preference is given to assessors with proven track records in identifying and mitigating complex cybersecurity risks in similar industries. Scope of Assessment: The assessment process is comprehensive, covering all critical aspects of our cybersecurity infrastructure. This includes evaluations of our network security, data protection measures, incident response capabilities, and employee cybersecurity awareness. The assessors are also tasked with identifying potential vulnerabilities in our systems and processes. Regular and Ad-hoc Assessments: Assessments are conducted on a regular basis to ensure continuous monitoring of our cybersecurity health. Additionally, ad-hoc assessments may be conducted in response to significant changes in our IT infrastructure or emerging cybersecurity threats. Assessment Methodology: The third-party assessors employ a range of methodologies, including penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, and security audits. These methodologies are aligned with industry standards and best practices to ensure a thorough and effective evaluation. Collaboration and Transparency: We maintain an open line of communication with our assessors throughout the evaluation process. This collaboration allows for a clear understanding of their findings and recommendations. Transparency in this process is key to effectively addressing any identified vulnerabilities. Action on Findings: Upon receiving the assessment reports, we promptly act on the findings. This includes addressing identified vulnerabilities, implementing recommended security measures, and continuously updating our cybersecurity strategies. Feedback and Continuous Improvement: Feedback from these assessments is integral to our continuous improvement process. We regularly update our cybersecurity policies and practices based on the insights gained from these assessments to stay ahead of evolving cyber threats. In today’s interconnected business environment, reliance on third-party service providers is inevitable. However, this reliance introduces additional cybersecurity risks that must be effectively managed. Our approach to identifying and mitigating these risks involves several key steps:
| ● | Risk Assessment and Due Diligence: Prior to engaging with any third-party service provider, we conduct a comprehensive risk assessment. This assessment evaluates the provider's cybersecurity policies, data management practices, and compliance with industry standards. We also assess their history of cybersecurity incidents and responses to understand their resilience and reliability.
| ● | Contractual Safeguards and Compliance Requirements: To ensure robust cybersecurity, our contracts with third-party providers include specific clauses that mandate adherence to our security policies and standards. These contractual obligations cover data protection, incident reporting, and compliance with relevant laws and regulations. Regular compliance audits are conducted to ensure these standards are continuously met.
| ● | Incident Response and Communication: In the event of a cybersecurity incident involving a third-party provider, we have a well-defined incident response plan. This plan outlines the steps for quick and effective action, including communication strategies to manage the impact on stakeholders. We require our third-party providers to promptly notify us of any breaches or potential security threats.
| ● | Review and Continuous Improvement: Our processes for managing third-party cybersecurity risks are regularly reviewed and updated. This ensures that we adapt to new threats and integrate best practices into our risk management framework.
Through these measures, we strive to mitigate the cybersecurity risks associated with third-party service providers, ensuring the resilience and security of our operations and data.
