PRIVACY AND SECURITY

At Qualcomm, privacy and security are top of mind.

A strong foundation of privacy and security is critical to the growth and success of the wireless industry. It supports user trust and the adoption of new and exciting mobile technologies. It makes more advanced wireless offerings possible.

Qualcomm is committed to processing personal data responsibly and making data more secure. We’ve made significant efforts to incorporate privacy and security measures across our company, in our products and services, and within the broader mobile industry.

We have a team dedicated to privacy and data security.

Qualcomm has hundreds of people who are dedicated to privacy and data security. These employees specialize in product security, privacy, information security, risk management, application security, third-party security assessments, investigations and counter-threat analysis, security operations, physical security, privacy law, stakeholder engagement, and more. Our privacy and data security team is advised by a steering committee that meets regularly and addresses privacy through the varying viewpoints that characterize our diverse company.

Our Legal Department helps monitor compliance and mitigate risk across multiple disciplines, working in tandem with multiple other assurance functions, including experts from Information Security and Risk Management (ISRM), Internal Audit, Finance, and others. Our compliance efforts are led by our Chief Risk and Compliance Officer and Head of Internal Audit, both operating with independence and a direct reporting line to the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

We implement information security management systems.

We maintain both Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange (TISAX) certification and ISO 27001:2022 certification for portions of our products and services. We provide recurring cybersecurity training to help employees better understand cybersecurity threats; the Company’s policies, actions, and approach to managing cybersecurity risk; and how employees can help improve the Company’s security posture.
