Cybersecurity Risk Management, Strategy, and Governance [Line Items]
Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]	We recognize the importance of assessing, identifying, and managing material risks associated with cybersecurity threats, as such term is defined in Item 106(a) of Regulation S-K. Accordingly, the company takes a comprehensive approach to identifying and managing cybersecurity risks that involves the company's Information Security functional team, senior management, the Technology and Information Security (“T&IS”) Committee, and the Audit Committee, all in coordination with of our board of directors. Our cybersecurity risk management function is a component of our overall approach to risk management, including coordination with our Enterprise Risk Management Committee. Our cybersecurity risks include, among other things: operational risks, malicious attacks, improper employee or contractor access, harm to employees or customers and violation of data privacy, intellectual property or security laws. Although, as of the date of this Form 10-K, Huron has not experienced a cybersecurity incident that resulted in a material adverse impact to our business or operations, there can be no guarantee that we will not experience such an incident in the future. Further details about the cybersecurity risks we face are described under Item 1A. “Risk Factors.” We have a cybersecurity program that focuses on implementing risk-based controls, technologies, and other processes. We aim to incorporate certain industry best practices throughout our cybersecurity program, including the frameworks established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (“CISA”), and other applicable industry standards. To augment our in-house capabilities, we leverage expertise from professional services firms and/or outside counsel, as needed, to assess our cybersecurity controls, and collaborate on an ever-changing landscape. Our cybersecurity program conforms with ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and our most recent recertification was in 2024. We use various mechanisms to detect and monitor cybersecurity threats, including monitoring unusual network activity, conducting annual security awareness training for employees, deploying phishing test campaigns, maintaining containment and incident response tools, and reviewing, updating and improving our Incident Response Plan annually. We also conduct tabletop exercises to simulate responses to cybersecurity incidents. During these exercises, our team of cybersecurity professionals collaborate with technical and business stakeholders across the organization to further analyze the risk to the company and form detection, mitigation, and remediation improvements. We also engage third parties, including assessors, consultants, and auditors to assess our cybersecurity control environment and to test the vulnerability of our cybersecurity infrastructure at least annually. Our risk management program also assesses risks associated with third-party service providers. Such providers are subject to an onboarding process and may be reevaluated periodically. We use a variety of inputs in such risk assessments, including information supplied by the providers themselves and other third parties. In addition, our contracts with our service providers require them to adhere to mutually agreed upon security requirements, controls and responsibilities, as applicable.
