Our Governance

We pride ourselves on our culture which is based on strong values of responsibility, transparency and integrity. These values enable us to strive for an environment where open, honest communications are the expectation, not the exception. When it comes to our ethics, we do not allow the bottom-line to shift our decision making and consider the greater good for all parties. We acknowledge and accept that we have a responsibility to conduct our business ethically, and are committed to respecting human rights in our business activities.

We support and stand behind the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations related to anti-human trafficking, anti-slavery, anti-forced labor and child labor. Equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world. We believe in the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms afforded to everyone. All human beings should be treated with decency, kindness and respect.

Our commitment to preventing modern slavery is anchored in a comprehensive architecture that ensures accountability at every level of our organization:

  • Our publicly accessible Code of Ethical Business Conduct, together with our associated internal policies, procedures and training sets out not only the standard that we expect our employees to meet in order for us, as a business, to meet the expectations on us and that we hold for ourselves, but also serves to encompass our commitment to ensuring compliance and ethical behavior in all that we do.
  • Internally, our policy against discrimination, bullying, harassment and violence in the workplace establishes and communicates our commitment to maintaining a respectful and safe workplace for all. This is reinforced by regular training undertaken by our employees on diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace.
  • The Anti-Modern Slavery Policy mandates a zero-tolerance approach toward all forms of slavery, servitude, forced labor, or human trafficking. It provides our staff with specific tools to identify complex indicators of exploitation - including debt bondage, criminal exploitation, and the withholding of wages - ensuring these crimes have no place in our business. We regularly review our Anti-modern Slavery Policy and other policies and procedures to ensure they remain effective and aligned with industry practice and legal requirements.
  • Our Business Partner Code of Conduct reflects the principles set out in our Code of Ethical Business Conduct and therefore sets out the standards that we expect of our supply chain and our channel partners, in order for us to deliver on our own expectations and commitments.
  • Our thirty-party independent Whistleblower Hotline enables our employees, contractors, and third parties to report any observed or suspected violation of our policies or applicable laws anonymously and without fear of retaliation. Employees and contractors are also able, internally, to report concerns directly to our People Operations and Legal departments.

Employee Training and Awareness

We require all our staff globally to attend modern slavery and/or human trafficking training on an annual basis utilizing a geographically tailored approach to ensure regional legal and operational relevance. We review our training programs regularly to ensure they are in line with industry practices. Specifically, all employees within our covered UK entities receive a specialized “Modern Slavery in the United Kingdom” training module.

Within our business

In preparation for this Modern Slavery Statement, we have undertaken a review of our business operations to assess the risk of modern slavery in our direct operations.

Our offices are located across the world and we are mindful that, whilst modern slavery can be found in all countries, certain countries/regions are assessed as posing a higher risk for modern slavery. We believe that the risk of modern slavery in our direct business operations is low as a result of a number of key mitigating factors:

  • we employ individuals directly with us or through a vetted third party and ensure all employees and resources receive an employment agreement that complies with applicable law.
  • we apply the same recruitment policies and procedures across our business operations, no matter where they are located in the world. These processes include checks specific to the individual, such as their right to work, and security checks similar to the UK’s Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS).
  • the relatively highly-skilled nature of the work undertaken by all our employees.
  • most of our recruitment is undertaken by in-house employees.

Supply chain

In preparation for this Modern Slavery Statement, we have undertaken a review of our supply chains for the covered subsidiaries.

Channel partners

Our channel partner network provides relatively highly skilled external services to help us source, support and develop our relationships with our customers. These key business partners are required to pass our onboarding process and are then engaged on either our KnowBe4 Reseller Agreement, our Managed Service Provider Agreement, or other appropriately negotiated terms based on our commercial and legal guidelines, under which they are required to comply with all applicable laws and with our Business Partner Code of Conduct.

In respect of the covered subsidiaries and their channel partner networks, they are predominantly “within region” and therefore, we consider the risk of modern slavery in these supply chains to be low.

Suppliers

The majority of our external spend within these supply chains is through the procurement of goods and services to support our general business activities and the delivery of our services to our customers. This includes cloud and software services, marketing and events, professional advisors and consultancy services, premises and associated management, device procurement and cleaning.

It is understood that technology firms like us that do not supply hardware encounter the same risks as other office-based organisations, but it is essential to recognise that low risk does not equate to no risk. As a result, we are engaging with relevant suppliers within our supply chain to reiterate the mandatory ethical and labor standards, including the prohibition of forced and child labor, adherence to the Code of Conduct, and requirements for disclosure and grievance mechanisms, that they must comply with and that we expect with regards to mitigating and controlling any risks of modern slavery.

In respect of the covered subsidiaries and their supply chains, they are predominantly within low-risk regions or industries, or we have taken measures to ensure that any identified risk is appropriately mitigated. We therefore consider the risk of modern slavery in these supply chains to be low.

Future activities

We are committed to continuously improving our efforts to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking. Over the next 12 months we will:

  • continue to take steps where possible to ensure our business and supply chains are free of modern slavery.
  • continue risk assessment of the covered entities’ vendor base to identify areas with higher risk of modern slavery.
  • regularly review our policies and procedures to ensure they remain effective and aligned with industry practice and legal requirements.
  • regularly review our training programs in line with industry practices and applicable law.
  • initiate a Vendor Annual Notice campaign (Q2 2026) targeting all vendors identified as 'High Risk' in our 2025 risk assessment and require adherence to our updated Business Partner Code of Conduct.

Approval

This Modern Slavery Statement has been reviewed and approved by the Directors of the covered subsidiaries.
