Cybersecurity Risk Management, Strategy, and Governance [Line Items]  
Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block] The aim of our security risk management is to protect the
confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Philips’ products and
services, and it is part of the framework described in Risk management
and internal control. The Board of Management is responsible for the
design and management of Philips’ cybersecurity, which is ultimately
overseen by the Supervisory Board (and specifically its Audit
Committee). Quarterly reports on cybersecurity risks and incidents are
prepared by the IT Audit & Risk Committee (consisting of
representatives from the Group Security and Group IT Functions and
Philips Internal Audit) and submitted to the Board of Management and
the Supervisory Board. This reporting includes the overall risk level,
relevant changes in the risk environment, challenges in reaching and/or
maintaining current risk levels, and actual risk responses in the form of
actions and owners.
The Group Security Function maintains a security management
framework, which includes processes, requirements and controls for the
assessment, identification and management of material risks from,
among others, cybersecurity threats. The framework, including
cybersecurity policies and procedures, is designed to promote
implementation of security requirements in all applicable processes,
information processing systems and infrastructure pertaining to our
products and services and our supporting and enabling Functions. The
framework includes risk, vulnerability and penetration assessments;
mandatory yearly security training for all employees (including phishing
simulations for all employees multiple times a year); and monitoring
and response activities for vulnerabilities identified in products, services
and infrastructure.
Our Head of Group Security, reporting to our Chief Financial Officer,
leads the Group Security Function in supporting the Board of
Management in evaluating and setting the security strategy, issuing
security policies, and evaluating the progress and effectiveness of the
deployment of our security management framework. Our Chief
Information Security Officer, reporting to our Head of Group Security,
has nearly 28 years of technology and information security
management experience in the industry, including prior roles with the
Dutch Government and multinationals in the consumer goods,
manufacturing, chemical and food processing industries, in various
roles ranging from chief information security officer to IT security
officer and security architect. Our Chief Information Security Officer is
informed of and monitors the management of cybersecurity incidents
through the Global Security Operations Center.
Group Security is also responsible for addressing security risks, including
monitoring cybersecurity threats and responding to cybersecurity
incidents. The Philips Global Security Operations Center is the hub for
the prevention, detection, mitigation and remediation of cybersecurity
incidents on global enterprise systems, supported by certain external
services and periodic/intermittent assessments. The severity and
materiality of incidents are assessed through a dedicated security
incident reporting process and, if necessary, incidents are escalated to
the major event team that may hand off to central crisis management
and (potentially) to the Philips Disclosure Committee, which assesses
the need for public disclosure of (material) incidents. When needed,
incidents are further escalated to Global Crisis Management.
Security controls are also part of our due diligence in case of mergers,
acquisitions and divestments. Furthermore, they are embedded in our
procurement and supplier management processes when engaging with
new suppliers and entering into new contracts, monitoring and
managing existing supplier relationships, and terminating any of these
dealings. These security controls include assessing existing security
certificates and assurances reports for the services in scope, validating
suppliers’ answers to security questionnaires in due diligence, and
ensuring that security schedules are part of the signed contracts.
