Do I need cyber insurance if I have antivirus and data encryption?

You can choose whether to take out cyber insurance or not; it is not compulsory. However, investing in security software will not make you impenetrable to cyber crime. It is always advisable to invest in quality cyber insurance to give you peace of mind. The financial losses incurred from a data breach could be catastrophic.

Does my business insurance cover cyber liability?

Business insurance is a term used to describe a range of business liability products, such as public liability and professional indemnity insurance. None of these products cover cyber risks; you must have cyber liability insurance if you want to be protected from cyber risks.

What cyber insurance does my business need?

This will be determined by the size of the business and the level of business undertaken online. We’ll take the time to get to know your business needs and the risks you face and recommend insurance products to meet those needs. Your cyber liability will determine the level of cyber insurance recommended.

It is likely that, no matter what your business, you are reliant upon technology in some way or other. Whether you use it to store customer records, make online sales, or issue electronic documentation, it is likely to be a vital part of your organisation.

Breach expenses

Liability

Damages and defence costs for losing third-party data, infringement, and virus transmission.
