Cyber Insurance

Cyber & Data Breach Insurance

The frequency and severity of cyber-attacks has increased since the pandemic. The insurance industry response has been twofold. Insurers have reviewed (i) premiums and (ii) the risk mitigation measures required as prerequisite to providing cover. The only way to effectively protect your business is to carry adequate insurance cover.

MAKE SURE YOUR BUSINESS IS PROTECTED AGAINST CYBER CRIME

A cyber attack and/or data breach can be extremely costly for your business. If you fall victim to cyber crime (e.g. by simply opening an email) our insurance can help protect your business financially and enable you to take back control.

What does cyber insurance include?

Cyber insurance cover can vary greatly, as too can policy excesses applicable! When added as a bolt on to an existing policy, cyber insurance may only cover your legal liabilities and/or provide limited first party cover. It is important to check the scope of cover afforded, to ensure that you have a comprehensive policy. A cyber policy should provide access to (and cover the costs of) experts in the event of a cyber attack or data breach, to enable your business to get back on its feet.

Specifically, cyber insurance may cover:

  • Cyber Extortion i.e. investigation of an extortion (or ransomware) attack
  • Data Protection i.e. the cost of data recovery, following the alteration, corruption, destruction, deletion or damage to data following a cyber attack
  • Cyber Business Interruption i.e. the resultant loss of revenue or increased working costs following a cyber attack
  • Regulatory Defence and Penalties e.g. GDPR breaches
  • Cyber Liability & Website Media Content Liability i.e. covering your third party cyber liability risks
  • PCI Fines, Expenses and Costs if PCI compliant
  • Computer Expert Services, Legal Services, Public Relations and Crisis Management Services i.e. to coordinate the expert forensic, legal, notification and credit monitoring services to satisfy all legal requirements and maintain customer confidence. With limits of indemnity as per the attached proposals.

Often, cyber threats or malware attacks require in-depth technical knowledge, which our insurers can provide. What’s more, the right cover will minimise the impact on your business and provide financial support during an incident. Additionally, cyber insurance may help cover the costs of any legal and regulatory actions after an incident.

However, in the event that your systems are breached, the financial cost and overall disruption to your business could be significantly less.

If your business uses email, smartphones, has a website, accesses websites and/or stores customer data electronically, then the answer is Yes! Your business could be a target for cyber crime and should consider protection in the form of cyber and data breach insurance.

UK law states that GDPR fines aren’t insurable. However, our insurers include emergency breach response. What’s more, our insurers can assist in reducing the fine your business receives by acting quickly to limit the exposure.
