What PagerDuty's Item 1C says
PagerDuty's Form 10-K for fiscal 2026 places oversight of cybersecurity risk management with the audit committee of the board of directors. Management processes for assessing and managing cybersecurity risk are implemented by the CTO, CISO, and CIO, among other management.
Board and management oversight
The board of directors oversees the company's cybersecurity risk management as part of its general oversight function. The audit committee receives periodic reports from the CTO and/or CISO on significant cybersecurity threats and risk and on the processes the company has implemented to address them. The audit committee will keep the full board of directors apprised of cybersecurity risk processes and significant developments related to cybersecurity. Company management, including the CTO, CISO, and CIO, is responsible for hiring appropriate personnel and communicating key priorities to relevant personnel.
Who leads security
The CTO, CISO, and CIO are described as having decades of experience in cybersecurity and information technology. The CTO has experience in computer science, the CISO in computer security and enterprise data, and the CIO in information technology. Management is also responsible for approving budgets for spending on cybersecurity and approving cybersecurity processes.
How the company manages cyber risk
The company maintains information security processes designed to identify, assess, and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats to its critical computer networks, third party hosted services, communications systems, and critical data. The CISO and CIO, along with the information security, engineering, and legal functions, help identify, assess, and manage the company's cybersecurity threats and risks. Assessment and management of material cybersecurity risks are integrated into the company's overall risk management processes. The company implements measures such as incident response procedures, encryption, penetration testing, and employee training, depending on the environment, system, and data.
Third parties and incidents
The company uses third-party service providers from time to time, including cybersecurity consultants and penetration testing firms, to help identify, assess, and manage material cybersecurity risks.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity
Risk management and strategy
We have implemented and maintain various information security processes designed to identify, assess, and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats to our critical computer networks, third party hosted services, communications systems, hardware and software, and our critical data, including intellectual property, confidential information that is proprietary, strategic, or competitive in nature, customer data, and personal information (collectively, "Information Systems and Data").
Our Chief Information Security Officer ("CISO") and Chief Information Officer ("CIO"), along with our information security, engineering, and legal functions, help identify, assess, and manage the Company's cybersecurity threats and risks. They work to identify and assess risks from cybersecurity threats by monitoring and evaluating the threat environment using various methods including manual and automated tools, subscribing to reports and services that identify cybersecurity threats, evaluating our and our industry's risk profile, conducting audits and threat assessments, conducting vulnerability assessments, and external threat intelligence.
Depending on the environment, system, and data, we implement and maintain certain technical and organizational measures, processes, standards, and policies designed to manage and mitigate material risks from cybersecurity threats to our Information Systems and Data, including, for example: incident response procedures, vulnerability management process, disaster recovery/business continuity plans, encryption, network security controls, user access controls including multifactor authentication and role-based access, data segregation, asset management, systems monitoring, vendor risk management program, employee training, penetration testing, cybersecurity insurance, and dedicated cybersecurity staff.
Our assessment and management of material risks from cybersecurity threats are integrated into the Company's overall risk management processes, including by prioritizing our risk management processes and mitigating cybersecurity threats that are more likely to lead to a material impact to our business .
We use third-party service providers to assist us from time to time to identify, assess, and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats, including, for example, professional services firms, cybersecurity consultants, managed cybersecurity service providers, and penetration testing firms.
We also use third-party service providers to perform a variety of functions throughout our business, such as application providers, hosting companies, and various supply chain resources. We have a vendor management program to manage cybersecurity risks associated with our use of these providers which includes, depending on the vendor, nature of the services provided, and sensitivity of the Information Systems and Data at issue: different levels of assessment designed to help identify cybersecurity risks associated with the vendor, security questionnaires, review of security assessments, and imposition of contractual obligations related to cybersecurity.
For a description of the risks from cybersecurity threats that may materially affect the Company and how they may do so, see our risk factors under Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
