Governance
Walmart’s Board of Directors has delegated risk management oversight responsibility for information systems, information security, data privacy, and cybersecurity to our Audit Committee. For further discussion of the Audit Committee’s oversight of digital trust and cybersecurity, see Walmart’s 2024 annual report on Form 10-K.
Led by our Chief Counsel, Digital Citizenship (who reports to the Chief Legal Officer), Walmart’s Digital Citizenship team helps Walmart live up to our Digital Trust Commitments as we develop and implement emerging technologies, new services, and innovative ways to serve our customers. This team also tracks relevant laws and regulations and oversees Walmart’s privacy policies and notices. The team includes compliance and legal associates with expertise in digital values, emerging technology, cybersecurity, data privacy and governance, ethical AI and biometrics, and information management.
Our Chief Information Security Officer (who reports to the Chief Technology Officer) leads Walmart’s Information Security organization and has responsibility for overseeing Walmart’s cybersecurity program, which is supported by dedicated teams of cybersecurity personnel and professionals that help to assess, identify, monitor, detect and manage cybersecurity risks, threats, vulnerabilities and incidents.
In order to promote good practice, these teams provide recurring information security and data privacy training to our associates and certain third parties based on access, risk, roles, policies, standards, and behaviors. In FY2024, for example, approximately 1.4 million U.S. associates completed training covering information security and digital citizenship.
