What MongoDB's Item 1C says
MongoDB's Form 10-K for fiscal 2026 places oversight of cybersecurity risk management with the Security Committee of the board of directors. The filing states that the company's cybersecurity programs are under the direction of the CTO.
Board and management oversight
The Security Committee meets with the Chief Technology Officer and other senior executives on a quarterly basis to review the company's cybersecurity programs, risks and mitigation strategies. Ahead of each quarterly meeting, management, including the CTO and the information security team, provides cybersecurity reports covering developments in cybersecurity, program updates, legislative developments, and security incidents and investigations. The Security Committee reports material cybersecurity matters to the full board of directors. Management follows a risk-based escalation process to notify the Security Committee outside of the regular reporting cycle when it identifies an emerging cybersecurity risk.
Who leads security
The CTO receives reports from the security teams and monitors the prevention, detection, mitigation, and remediation of cybersecurity incidents. The filing describes the CTO and key security leaders as information systems security professionals, security engineers, and information security managers, each with well over a decade of experience.
How the company manages cyber risk
The company's information security program is designed to align with the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cyber Security Framework. The company reviews and updates its information security program at least annually to reflect changes to its organization, business practices, technology and services, and applicable legislation and regulations. The information security team provides ongoing education and requires mandatory training at least once annually of all employees.
Third parties and incidents
The company engages third parties to perform annual audits of its standards-based certifications. The framework includes steps for assessing the severity of a threat or incident and identifying whether it is associated with a third-party service provider. The company states that it cannot eliminate all risks from cybersecurity threats or provide assurances that it has not experienced an undetected cybersecurity incident.

Under the Security Committee charter, the Security Committee meets with our Chief Technology Officer, ("CTO") , and other senior executives on a quarterly basis to perform more in-depth reviews of the Company's cybersecurity programs, as well as relevant cybersecurity risks and mitigation strategies. Ahead of each such quarterly meeting, management, including the CTO and our information security team, prepares and provides cybersecurity reports that cover, among other topics, developments in cybersecurity and updates to the company's cybersecurity programs and mitigation strategies, legislative developments affecting MongoDB's information security program, and notable security incidents and investigations. The Security Committee subsequently reports material cybersecurity matters to our full board of directors . In addition, our management follows a risk-based escalation process to notify the Security Committee outside of the regular reporting cycle when they identify an emerging cybersecurity risk.
Our cybersecurity programs are under the direction of our CTO, who receives reports from our security teams and monitors the prevention, detection, mitigation, and remediation of cybersecurity incidents. Our CTO and key security leaders are certified and experienced information systems security professionals, security engineers, and information security managers each with well over a decade of experience.
