What Q2 Holdings' Item 1C says
Q2's Form 10-K for fiscal 2025 places oversight of cybersecurity risk with the Risk and Compliance Committee of the Board of Directors. The company's information security program is managed by a CISO.
Board and management oversight
The CISO and CRO provide periodic reports to the RACC, at least quarterly. The CISO is appointed by the RACC, which also oversees the implementation, monitoring and testing of the information security program. The CISO and CRO also regularly meet separately with the chair of the RACC to provide similar updates. The enterprise risk management program is managed by the Chief Risk Officer, appointed by the RACC, and an Enterprise Risk Oversight Committee that includes senior leaders.
Who leads security
The CISO has more than 20 years of experience directing teams across application and product security, cyber defense, risk management, information governance, information technology compliance, information technology training and sales. The CISO's team is responsible for leading the enterprise-wide cybersecurity strategy, policy, standards, architecture and processes.
How the company manages cyber risk
The company uses a risk-based approach to identify and assess cybersecurity threats, and this approach is incorporated into its overall enterprise risk management program. Incident response procedures are designed to escalate actual or potential cybersecurity incidents first to the security team, and as appropriate to senior management and the RACC. Internal and external experts regularly evaluate the information security program, and the results are reported to senior management and the RACC.
Third parties and incidents
The enterprise risk management team works with security, information technology, compliance, internal audit and third-party risk management functions, which rely on third-party consultants, auditors and applications. The company is subject to numerous risks from cybersecurity threats, but to date none have materially affected it or its business strategy, results of operation or financial condition.
