Why Do Businesses Need
Cyber Insurance?

Every business owner can now be held responsible for a data breach, even if you don’t do business online or store any data, consider that simply losing your smartphone or tablet could see you on the receiving end of a claim if that device has any client or employee details stored in the contacts.

Simply, if you’re using any type of tech to help run your business, from a simple smartphone to a sophisticated server, or network, then you have a cyber liability risk that should be insured.

Do I Need Cyber Insurance?

Even if you don’t trade directly online, if your business relies on email or technology to take care of its day to day operations, any data breach could be catastrophic for both you and your customers. If, for instance, you run a small business with even just one or two employees, you could see your business crippled by multiple compensation claims if your systems are hacked and their data is compromised.

If you have clients who themselves have employees, as a breach of your systems could lead to a breach of their systems. Before you know it, you’ve even more compensation claims and associated legal fees coming your way. If you think your business is fully protected from hackers by antivirus software or is too small to be targeted, consider that cybercrime is constantly evolving, and criminals are actively targeting small businesses because their security systems are thought to be less robust.

When you hold customer data such as names, addresses or banking information, or if your business is dependent on or uses computer systems as part of its activities, then it is important to understand the impact of a data breach, interruption to your systems or a claim for failing to keep customers’ personal data secure.

Is Cyber Insurance Required by Law?

Currently, it's not a legal requirement for a trading business to have cyber insurance. However, it could give you a competitive advantage if your potential client has a choice between your business and another business that doesn’t have insurance. Many larger clients and government contracts will require cyber coverage to be in place.

How Cyber Insurance Can Protect Your Business

An IT professional at a large business discovered a ransomware attack with mass file changes on their network. The policyholder contacted their insurer, initiating a response within 90 minutes. The insurer deployed an EDR tool, assessed the infection's extent, preserved data, and obtained the $2 million ransom note. The investigation uncovered persistent TrickBot connections dating back to a 2018 infection. Over five days, the insurer took essential actions, including imaging systems, offering legal advice, and successfully negotiating the ransom down from $2 million to $200,000. This prompt response mitigated potential losses, saving the policyholder a substantial $1.8 million.

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.

Data Restoration

Should a cyber or data incident occur it's normally vital to restore lost or corrupted data. This is an important process but expensive. Specialists assist you with trying to restore any lost data or fix systems damaged by a cyber attack.
