LifeStance Health Group Inc

The Company has adopted processes designed to identify, assess and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats. Those processes include response to and an assessment of internal and external threats to the security, confidentiality, integrity and availability of company data and systems along with other material risks to company operations, at least annual or whenever there are material changes to the Company’s systems or operations. Our business strategy, results of operations and financial condition have not been materially affected by risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of previously identified cybersecurity incidents, but we cannot provide assurance that they will not be materially affected in the future by such risks or any future material breaches. As part of our risk management process, the Company engages outside providers to conduct periodic penetration testing and other cybersecurity audits. The Company stores company data in cloud environments with security appropriate to data involved and has adopted controls around, among other things, vendor risk assessment, information classification, access and acceptable use and backup and recovery.

The Senior Vice President of IT Security ("SVP of IT Security") has over 35 years of experience in the informational technology field, with 18 years of healthcare IT experience with an emphasis in IT security and computer forensics.
