5.2. Information Security Risks and Countermeasures


With respect to information technology security risks and management measures, MediaTek, as a fabless
semiconductor company, possesses many computers, instruments and information systems related to IC design
business, which must be defended with an information security management system. Even if MediaTek has
established such an information security management system, there is no guarantee that the computer systems it
manages or maintains is able to completely avoid any aggressive hacker attacks. Due to the rapid changes in

activities, hackers may further affect the operation of the Company with the loss of important data. On the other
hand, the Company's information system, including upstream and downstream partners and customer data are
becoming increasingly large. Only through continuous testing and evaluation of network, and system architecture
and sophisticated security management measures can the effectiveness of security measures be ensured.

substantial property losses. In order to avoid the impact of such incidents, MediaTek has conducted system
vulnerability tests since 2014, simulating important hackers' attacks to confirm whether there are system
vulnerabilities. In 2019, it began to implement automated vulnerability scanning to ensure the completeness of
security inspection coverage. In 2020, resources were invested to perform more advanced red team / blue team
drills to discover and fix vulnerabilities in the information system as many as possible.

MediaTek Inc. | 2021 Annual Report


Certain hacker groups continue to attack IT companies that master key technologies. Once the system is infiltrated,
backdoor programs will be implanted in the internal information system. To detect whether the information
system has been implanted with backdoor programs or malicious programs, MediaTek has been implementing
internal automated and large-scale malware detections periodically in 2015 to ensure the safety of information
system. This type of hacking method often penetrates the Company's information system through social
engineering malicious mail or any method of deceiving employees. In addition to repairing the loopholes of the
information system, MediaTek implemented social engineering drills and performed security training on
employees based on the results in 2015, to strengthen the information protection awareness of employees and the
Company.
In light of the fact that some information systems purchased from third-party vendors may be vulnerable and
could be infected by computer viruses, MediaTek has included system security requirements and specifications
in the outsourcing information system contract, and clearly established loophole patching policies to avoid
potential risks that may impact company operations. MediaTek continues to build a trusted corporate environment
through the aforementioned security control measures. However, even if a trusted environment is constructed,

MediaTek has strengthened the employee password policy and introduced a two-factor authentication mechanism
to reinforce the identity authentication of the information system in 2019.

5.3. Major Information Security Incidents


No material findings were found in the information security audit in 2021, nor was there any violation of
information security that may cause leaks of customer information or fines.

and influence on society and environment comes from our suppliers upon conducting risk evaluation and carbon
footprint verifications. Hence, how to partner with our suppliers to reduce potential risks on the society and
environment has become our top priority.
We commenced the CSR audit in 2016. In addition to requiring suppliers to sign a CSR guarantee statement,
MediaTek also manages effectiveness of supplier's sustainability actions through the EICC - ON online
management system. Moreover, MediaTek also autonomously produced an EICC training course for all suppliers
to assist them in better understanding and complying with relevant regulations. We hope to effectively exert the
influence we have as industry leader, and collaborate with suppliers to work toward sustainable business models.
To build a long-lasting, stable partnership with suppliers and achieve the vision of sustainable development,
MediaTek has incorporated standards and proposals that fall under the three primary perspectives of economy,
society and environment into our scope of sustainable management of suppliers, aiming to regulate potential risks
and uncover potential market opportunities.
From an economic perspective, besides the basic factors of meeting deadlines, production capacity, service, and
quality, we also require that suppliers remain in compliance with the IATF16949 quality management system for
the automobile industry in coordination with MediaTek's strategic planning for the IoT market, and for joint
developments in the Internet of Vehicle (IoV) market. From an environmental perspective, we require suppliers

international customers. From the social aspect, we ensure that suppliers fulfill their social responsibility, comply
with international labor rights, and provide a healthy and safe work environment according to the RBA Code of
Conduct, SA8000, and ISO 45001 standards.
MediaTek performs supplier risk evaluations from economic, environmental and societal perspectives in order to
investigate each supplier's standards under these perspectives and identify potential risks. Step 1: Suppliers
undertake self-assessments to ensure their levels of compliance for each indicator and provide supporting
