overview
Whatever the type of company, we can offer an appropriate cyber insurance service
From agile start-ups to multinational corporations, we know that the nature of cyber risk changes depending on the type of business. One size does not fit all.
Our knowledge of the cyber risk landscape gives us a deeper understanding of the different types of cyber risk – whether it’s the physical damage exposure of big industry or the high volume of patient records stored by a hospital.
What is cyber insurance?
The digital world is always evolving, resulting in cyber-attacks becoming more frequent and sophisticated, leaving more and more companies vulnerable to devastating consequences. Cyber insurance is a specialist insurance policy designed to protect your client’s businesses from financial losses caused by cyber-attacks. Our cyber insurance policies include cover for a range of threats including data breaches, cyber-crime, network security coverage and business interruption.
A cyber-attack can happen to any business, regardless of size or industry. By investing in cyber insurance, business owners can gain peace of mind knowing they’re protected against the fallout of a cyber incident.
What can happen during a Cyber Breach?
A cyber breach can cause immediate disruption to business operations, financial loss through ransom demands or recovery costs, and exposure of sensitive data such as customer records or intellectual property. It may also trigger regulatory investigations, legal liabilities, and reputational damage that can erode stakeholder trust. Recovery often requires specialist support and can take weeks, impacting productivity and long-term resilience.

Read moreWhy do my clients need Cyber Insurance?
With technology advancing and becoming more deeply intertwined with daily operations, the rise in cyber threat is inevitable. Cyber insurance is now crucial, and insurance providers must provide adaptive coverage that precisely meets your client's unique requirements.
Across various sectors, regulatory bodies are tightening data protection standards. By embracing cyber insurance, businesses not only meet these compliance mandates but also signal a proactive stance towards risk management. This commitment not only safeguards against potential financial losses but also strengthens your clients' standing and trustworthiness within their industries.
Whilst GDPR has put the spotlight on data privacy and cyber issues, there are other more prominent trends that are driving a greater take-up of cyber insurance. When speaking to our clients, the growing frequency, severity and sophistication of the ransomware threat to their businesses has been their biggest concern and the true catalyst for cyber insurance adoption
Cyber Breach Response and Claims
Cyberattacks are increasing every year and they’re becoming more complex. That’s why we believe all organisations need to be prepared for a possible breach. Understanding how your insurance policy can help in the event of an attack and who to turn to for immediate support is critical.
