What is
Cyber Insurance?

Cyber insurance, also referred to as cyber risk or cyber liability insurance, is a form of insurance designed to protect your business from threats in the new digital world, such as data breaches or malicious cyber hacks on work computer systems. A cyber insurance policy provides your business with essential support, covering costs associated with breach response, legal fees, data recovery, and more.
While all organisations should take steps to protect themselves against cyber threats, no defence is foolproof. In the event of a cyber or data incident, having a cyber insurance policy in place ensures that you won’t face the fallout alone.

Why is cover for cyber liability important?

Even the most advanced cyber security software can’t offer complete protection against the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats. While firewalls and antivirus programs are crucial, they’re only the first line of defence. A single phishing email, a misconfigured security setting, or a sophisticated attack can still break through, leaving your business exposed to costly data breaches, downtime, and reputational damage.
A cyber insurance policy goes beyond prevention, stepping in when defences fail. It covers the financial impact of a cyber attack but also provides critical support to help your business recover quickly when you need it most.

Far more than just financial protection

A cyber insurance policy provides access to a team of specialists to help get your business back on track as quickly as possible.

You focus on growing your business

When you have cyber insurance insurance in place, it gives you peace of mind so you can concentrate on growing your business.

Get and retain more business

It could give you a competitive advantage as many larger clients, government contracts and frameworks require cyber insurance coverage.

What Does Cyber Insurance Cover?

Breach Response

When your business experiences a data breach, whether from a cyber attack or internal error, cyber insurance has you covered. This includes emergency IT support, forensic investigation costs, and expert guidance on managing the breach. Experts help you identify what data was compromised and support you through the entire incident response process, reducing downtime and ensuring you meet all regulatory requirements.

Legal Costs

A cyber insurance policy covers all legal expenses associated with cyber incidents, from regulatory investigations to third-party claims. This includes legal representation costs, regulatory fines under GDPR, defence against customer claims, and expert guidance through legal proceedings. You'll get access to specialist cyber lawyers who understand both legal compliance and technical aspects of cyber incidents.

Business Interruption

When cyber incidents disrupt your operations, cyber liability coverage helps protect your bottom line. Whether it's a ransomware attack shutting down your systems or a DDoS attack taking your website offline, your business is covered for lost income and extra expenses during the disruption period. This includes costs of temporary solutions and getting your business operations back to normal quickly.

Hacking & Extortion

Cyber Cover provides comprehensive protection against malicious attacks, including ransomware demands and system breaches. You're covered for the costs of investigating the attack, removing malware, recovering encrypted data, and managing ransom negotiations if needed. This includes expert support to prevent future attacks and strengthen your security posture.

Cyber Crime

Protection against financial losses from sophisticated attacks by cyber criminals, including phishing scams, social engineering fraud, and electronic funds theft. A cyber insurance policy covers losses from compromised business emails, fraudulent transfers, and telephone hacking. This includes both immediate financial recovery and support to prevent future incidents.

Data Restoration

If your critical business data is lost, corrupted, or encrypted by cyber criminals or negligence, you're covered for the cost of professional data recovery services. This includes restoring from backups, repairing corrupted files, and reconstructing lost information. Specialists work quickly to minimise disruption and get your business data back online.

Requirements to get Cyber Insurance

While all businesses should be able to obtain cyber insurance coverage, insurers do expect organisations to meet a certain minimum of security standards in order to take up a cyber policy. This is obviously to protect their risk but also to ensure the insured party has a fundamental level of cyber and data protection in place to minimise the most common cyber threats within the policy term.
Generally the minimum security standards an organisation will need to take out a cyber insurance policy will be:
  • You use Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) for all users’ access to web based email
  • You ensure all users' adhere to strong password practices
  • You back-up critical/important data & systems regularly
  • You regularly provide cyber training to staff
If your organisation does not meet these basic requirements, it does not always mean we can't get you cover but you may find your options limited and your policy price more expensive. If you need help or advice, speak to one of experts today.

Transfer the Risk to a Cyber Policy

Our cyber policy has been designed with UK professionals in mind. Our mission is to provide cyber liability policies that will be clear, simple, fast and most importantly extremely comprehensive in its cyber cover of your cyber and data risks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does cyber insurance cover me for?

How is Cyber Cover regulated?

Faq Icon

Can we prevent cyber attacks?

Faq Icon

There are some simple ways that your business can improve your cyber security and protect yourself from cyber-attacks but this will help reduce the risk not eliminate it.

Cyber Security Training

These include providing your staff with training in cyber security principles, such as locking their computers when they’re not at their desk, regularly changing their passwords and not opening suspicious files or links.

Control Data Access

It’s essential to control access to your computers and network by providing employees with their own password-protected user accounts and limiting the authority to download software and access sensitive data.

Antivirus & Security Software

You can protect your computer systems by installing and regularly updating antivirus and antispyware software, using firewalls for your internet connection, securing WiFi networks with passwords, and keeping software for your operating systems and applications updated.

How would I know if I have been hacked?

Faq Icon

It may not be evident or you might not always be able to tell that your systems have been hacked, however, there are a few key signs. If your settings have changed, or email rules have been amended.

If for example, your business is a victim of ransomware, all or some of your files will be locked and you will receive a message requiring you to perform certain actions or to pay a given amount to unlock your systems.

Another less obvious example would be your mouse moving outside your control as if someone else is controlling it. It could well be a bug, but it’s better to disconnect the device from your network and run a virus scan.

What businesses are at risk of a cyber attack?

Faq Icon

Large companies make the news, but small and medium-sized businesses are more likely to fall victim to cyber attacks and data breaches. In 2019, more than 30% of businesses in the UK identified cybersecurity breaches or attacks.

SMEs are often seen as an easy target or low hanging fruit, as they have fewer resources to fully implement security software and procedures. Also, many small businesses are extremely busy, which in turn, means security practices can often get overlooked.
