Cyber Insurance
For the attacks you hope won't happen
Cyber Insurance
Phishing. Extortion. Social engineering. Cyber-crime is still the thing that happens to someone else, right? Until it’s not. We don’t want you to take that chance, which is why we strongly recommend Cyber Insurance. Even if you don’t arrange it through us.
What is Cyber Insurance?
Cyber Insurance protects your business against the internet, IT networks, cybercrime and even your own GDPR policy. It’s one of the most claimed-for policies (and also covers you for liability), so it’s as important as property insurance or professional indemnity insurance. In fact, we feel so strongly about this being a must-have insurance, we’ll give you advice even if you decide we’re not the right broker for you.
A cyber policy usually provides cover against cybercrime (tangible losses) and cyber liability (claims from employees or third parties).
- Cybercrime
- Cyber liability (employee claims)
- Cyber liability (third-party claims)
