Risk management and strategy

We assess material risks from cyber security threats on an ongoing basis, including any potential unauthorized occurrence on or conducted through our information systems that may result in adverse effects on the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of our information systems or any information residing therein. As our Company grows, we plan to develop a more robust and detailed strategy for cyber security in alignment with nationally accepted standards.

Governance

Our management and the Board recognize the critical importance of maintaining the trust and confidence of our business partners and employees, including the importance of managing cyber security risks as part of our larger risk management program. While all of our personnel play a part in managing cyber security risks, one of the key functions of our Board is informed oversight of our risk management process, including risks from cyber security threats. Our Board is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure, and our executive officers are responsible for the day-to-day management of the material risks that we face. In general, we seek to address cyber security risks through a cross-functional approach that is focused on preserving the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the information that we collect and store by identifying, preventing, and mitigating cyber security threats and effectively responding to cyber security incidents when they occur.

The company has not experienced a cyber security incident or a cyber security threat during 2023 nor in any prior years. The company’s overall risk management systems and processes have followed the recommended guidelines of our cyber security insurance company. The Audit Committee has the board’s oversight of risk from cyber security threats and the responsibility for reviewing the management processes. Management’s role in assessing and managing material risks from cyber security threats is the responsibility of the Chief Financial Officer, who reports and coordinates any potential material risk to the Audit Committee.
