What Does Cyber Insurance Cover?
Breach Response
Any business holding personal information is at risk of a data breach, be it from an external cyber-attack to a simple employee error such as sharing a confidential document with the wrong party or losing a company device such as a laptop or USB stick.
Legal Costs
From the costs of complying with a regulatory investigation following the loss of client data, such as the ICO or the payment card industry (PCI), to claims from third parties, legal and regulatory expenses can rapidly escalate following a cyber event. Our cyber policy is here to pick up these costs and provide you with the specialists in these legal areas to fully support and defend your business.
Business Interruption
Cyber induced business interruption can strike at any time and be very costly to a business or organisation. An interruption to the IT network or systems can quickly escalate into a threat to a business. From sophisticated external threats, such as ransomware or distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks on a website, to simple operator error such as unplugging the wrong server or a system crash when updating.
Hacking & Extortion
If hackers gain access to your data or systems, a cyber insurance policy will pay to put right any damage, corruption or misuse of your computer systems or programmes that has occurred. The policy covers recovery of copied or stolen programmes and repairing data held electronically. Should the business suffer a ransomware attack or a denial of service (DoS) attack, the policy will look to provide a solution for the business.
Cyber Crime
Cover for common cyber attacks used by organised cyber criminals such as phishing, ransomware and malware. This includes electronic transfer of your funds as a result of a data breach breach or social engineering, including costs incurred should you suffer telephone hacking.

Can we prevent cyber attacks?
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?
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?
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.
