Business Insurance

Cyber Liability

Breach response, ransomware, business interruption and liability to those affected.

What this cover does

A cyber policy is bought mostly for the response team it gives you in the first 48 hours — forensics, legal counsel, notification and negotiators — not only the money. State breach-notification laws apply to businesses of every size, with deadlines measured in days.

Typically included

  • Breach response — forensics, legal counsel and notification
  • Credit monitoring for affected individuals
  • Ransomware and cyber extortion, including negotiation
  • Business interruption from a network outage
  • Data restoration and system recovery
  • Liability to customers and partners, and regulatory defence

Common add-ons

  • Social engineering and funds-transfer fraud
  • Dependent business interruption for vendor outages
  • Media liability for published content
  • Bricking cover for hardware rendered unusable
  • Reputational harm cover

Questions

What people ask about cyber

We are small. Are we really a target?

Smaller firms are targeted heavily precisely because defences are lighter. Notification obligations do not scale down with headcount, and the response cost is driven by record count, not revenue.

Does commercial property cover data?

No. Standard property forms exclude electronic data as property and do not pay the notification, legal and forensic costs that make up most of a breach bill.
