Corporate
Governance
Our Board of Directors and upper management are committed to comply with the highest corporate governance standards throughout the Company.
Board of Directors
and Committees
The Board of Directors is comprised of twelve
board members, appointed by the General
Shareholders’ Meeting, four of whom are
independent. They are elected based on their
expertise, capacities, reputation and are subject
to objection by the National Banking and
Securities Commission.
Any holder of 10% of the capital (either directly
or through CPOs) has the right to appoint a member
of the Board of Directors and said votes will be
excluded for the purpose of appointing the missing
members.
Members of the Board are obliged by the bylaws and
applicable regulations to notify the Board of any
situation that may result in a conflict of
interest.
The Audit and Corporate Practices Committees are
comprised of four members of the Board each,
including three independent members.

Code of Ethics
We published a Code of Ethics that is available to all
employees and any third party with whom we have business
relationships. In this document we establish our
fundamental values, standards and culture, which guide
our daily actions and behaviors.
Some of the topics included in the Code are:
-
Company values
-
Relationship with the different stakeholders
-
Anticorruption
-
Money laundering
-
Asset protection
-
Conflicts of interest
-
Whistleblowing line
Similarly, we have a Code of Ethics for suppliers, where we define the guidelines that they must comply with in order to work with Megacable. Some of the topics it covers are:
-
Non-discrimination and equal opportunities
-
Respect for freedom of association
-
Rejection of forced labor and child labor
-
Decent employment
-
Environmental protection
Furthermore, we have a whistleblowing channel5 through which our employees can denounce anonymously any case of harassment, theft, late payments, mistreatment or any other issue. These complaints are received by the Ethics Committee, made up of the Chief Executive Officer, the Deputy Chief Executive Officer and the Human Resources Director, who assess and track every situation.
5 During 2022, we will increase this channel’s reach so that any of our stakeholders may file complaints or breaches of our values.
Anticorruption Policy
We promote transparency and are committed to avoiding any form of corruption; we abide by the highest corporate ethical standards.
Our Anticorruption Policy defines the appropriate guidelines expected from employees to avoid any situation of this nature. Among the situations that may represent a risk are:
-
Gift giving
-
Travel expenses
-
Charitable donations
-
Facilitation payments
-
Gifts
-
Money laundering
-
Bribery
Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity is a crucial topic in the digital
period. The increase in computer incidents and crimes
has become a problem that must be addressed with a
strategy and a specialized team. Therefore, at
Megacable we have policies, procedures, certifications
and a cybersecurity area in charge of developing the
information security framework for the protection of
critical infrastructures, under the premise of
identifying the security standards and guidelines
applicable in all organization areas.
Customer data privacy is of the utmost importance,
which is why we adhere to all applicable federal laws.
In our Company it is necessary to collect certain
personal data from customers in order to offer the
portfolio’s services. Thus, the Cybersecurity area is
in charge of protecting the integrity of the computing
infrastructure (computers, mobile devices, software,
hardware, network) and the information that is stored
in it, as well as creating policies and processes on
the safe use of devices within the organization.
Our Information Security Management System (ISMS) is based on the ISO 27001 standard.
We have an Information Security Policy, which establishes the specific guidelines that all employees must meet in this matter. In order to comply with all data privacy and information security policies, we train employees through the internal portal, and carry out periodic evaluations on any update.
During 2021, we updated and implemented several projects and processes to put together a cutting-edge cybersecurity strategy and mitigate possible risks. Some of them are:
Password vault
For administrator access and for servers such as
applications, access is now through the vault,
which will provide a temporary connection
without granting permanent credentials, thus
saving the access credentials for only one
connection.
Application shieldin
Megacable’s applications –both those for
internal use and those for customers– will be
shielded by a tool that will encrypt the
application so that it cannot view the type of
connections it makes, thus protecting our
infrastructure.
Application Firewall
Application-level protection for the Megacable
infrastructure exposed to the Internet, having
the intelligence and detection of robots who
want to impersonate humans and thus contain
these attacks and preserve business continuity.
In addition, every six months we carry out a risk analysis to assess potential hazards and their possible consequences, both in existing infrastructure and in projects’ implementation, in order to establish prevention and protection measures.
Incident response plan
We have developed an incident response plan that allows us to monitor and detect problems, contain them and solve them without affecting the operation. The procedures are based on the framework of the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) and the CSF (Cyber Security Framework).
Furthermore, we perform quarterly vulnerability tests
on applications and infrastructure for customer
service in order to identify weaknesses in operating
systems and security risks.
Performing vulnerability scans helps ensure that any
existing weakness in the systems is immediately
identified and addressed, reducing Megacable’s risk of
exposure.
Assessments on cybersecurity policies
In 2021, 17,915 employees received training regarding compliance with cybersecurity policies, including periodic assessments of their updates.
