Commitment

Zimperium acknowledges its responsibilities under the Modern Slavery legislation referenced herein and is committed to preventing slavery and human trafficking within its own businesses and in its supply chains.

Zimperium has a zero-tolerance policy towards modern slavery and is committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships. We will refrain from doing business, and/or will discontinue any current business with any other organization which knowingly supports or is found to involve itself in slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labor.

The labor supplied to Zimperium in pursuance of the services it provides is carried out in the countries where those services are provided as appropriate. No labor provided to Zimperium in the pursuance of the provision of its own services is obtained by means of slavery or human trafficking.

Zimperium’s Chief Compliance Officer and their associated team is responsible for day-to-day activities and due diligence.

Measures

Zimperium regularly assesses risks in relation to modern slavery and human trafficking within our business and supply chain. We consider these risks to be low, particularly because of the sector (SaaS security software) in which we operate, the limited nature of our supply chains (mainly distribution channels), and the values and policies that guide the actions of our directors, officers, employees, and contractors.

Zimperium’s workforce is primarily made up of full-time employees and contingent employees/contractors. All employees and contractors are subjected to background checks and must complete regular training. Zimperium sources services and goods from reputable suppliers. The nature of our business results in our typically not requiring the types of goods and services likely to require labor subject to the risks of slavery and human trafficking. Zimperium understands that growth entails risks and management teams analyze these risks before expanding into new markets or undertaking to employ additional individuals or vendors.

1. Code of Business Ethics

To help avoid the risks in relation to modern slavery, Zimperium enforces a Code of Business Ethics. This code is applicable to all employees and defines and promotes the principles by which we run our business. Among other requirements, the code sets forth our commitments to respect, fairness, integrity, compliance, ensuring our business is conducted free from any human trafficking, confidentiality, anticorruption, honest accounting, responsibility, and clear reporting requirements.

2. Vendor Relationships

Zimperium requires that all vendors to the company enter arrangements with the company subject to executed legal terms and conditions. Prior to becoming a vendor, potential vendors are assessed by our procurement team and screened against relevant sanctions and denied parties lists which includes screens against human trafficking. Zimperium does not enter contracts with organizations under sanctions imposed by the United States, United Kingdom, UN, or the European Union, etc.

3. Training and Employee Resources

Zimperium conducts Code of Conduct and other training promulgated by our Human Resources team for all employees upon hiring and requires ongoing training. We track compliance with our training regimen using third-party software tools. Employees who fail to comply with training requirements are subject to employee discipline. Zimperium encourages the use of its Compliance Hotline (displayed prominently on the Zimperium webpage) by employees, vendors, suppliers, and third parties to report any concerns regarding modern slavery. Zimperium’s management takes all reports seriously and we investigate complaints thoroughly.

4. Compliance and Review

Assessment of Effectiveness

We ensure action is taken to respond rapidly and thoroughly to reports of modern slavery in our company and/or supply chain. Complaints or reports made to our Compliance Hotline are responded to in accordance with this policy.

In the previous fiscal year Zimperium has not received any reports or complaints regarding being involved in activities covered by the Modern Slavery Act.
