ISO/IEC 27001 is the world’s best-known standard for information security management systems (ISMS).

In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, businesses face an unprecedented level of cyber threats,

Frequently Asked Questions
Businesses more than ever will need to protect from financial losses and ensure Cyber Insurance is part of their coverage. We can help your organization improve your risk posture.

Cyber insurance protects businesses from information technology and internet-based risks such as data breaches or malicious cyberattacks. Such risks are often excluded from traditional property and casualty policies, or not specifically defined.

Cyber insurance often includes first-party coverage agreements for incident response costs, business interruption losses and extra expenses, digital data recovery costs, and network extortion demands; third party coverage protecting others’ data and systems; and additional benefits like cybercrime (e.g. social engineering and wire fraud).

If a company or organization leverages data, technology and connectivity to drive growth, cyber insurance is an important component to their business strategy. Every day the frequency and severity of data breaches increases, remote workforces and new endpoints expose vulnerabilities, cybercriminals grow more, and governments pass more rigorous privacy laws.

Business downtime, incident response, and legal fees or penalties due to a cyber incident can spell the end for a growing business. A cyber insurance policy can cover these risks and many more.

Cyber policies are typically triggered by either the loss of data or access to a network, or by a claim from a third party. Incidents that often result in a cyber insurance claim include, ransomware, social engineering and phishing attacks, employee, and insider threats.

Several factors can make it difficult for businesses to secure cyber insurance. Companies in high-risk industries, such as finance or healthcare, or those with a history of frequent cyber incidents may be seen as too risky by insurers. Insurers may also view a business as unprepared if its cybersecurity measures are inadequate or outdated, making it hard to qualify for coverage.

Additionally, if a business provides incomplete or inaccurate information during the application process, it can lead to denials or higher premiums. The ever-evolving nature of cyber threats further complicates risk assessment for insurers, often resulting in stricter underwriting standards and increased costs. A history of previous cyber incidents or claims can also be a barrier, as it signals a higher likelihood of future claims.

85% of data breach insurance claims come from small to medium-sized businesses, and more than 60% of those businesses never recover from a data breach. Regularly backing up your data is one way to minimize the damage that can occur if your business is compromised. If a computer is stolen or your network is infected with a virus, for example, the backups can enable your business to get back on its feet sooner. Talk to us. We can help.

Social engineering is an attack vector that relies heavily on human interaction and often involves a cybercriminal manipulating an employee into breaking normal security procedures and best practices to gain access to systems, networks or physical locations.

Ransomware is a type of malware that blocks access to a company’s data, sometimes with the threat of publishing it, unless a ransom is paid – often in the form of a cryptocurrency, making tracking and prosecution difficult.

  • Forensic investigation of the breach
  • Legal advice to determine your notification and regulatory obligations
  • Costs to notify affected parties and provide credit monitoring service
  • Credit monitoring expenses for affected parties
  • Public relations expenses

First-party coverages commonly include incident response costs (for immediate triage and mitigation), business interruption and extra expense insurance (for lost revenue and additional costs), digital data recovery (to restore data records) and network extortion expenses (for ransomware payments, etc).

Third-party coverages commonly include cyber liability (for damages and regulatory penalties resulting from unauthorized access to or use of your network) and media liability (for claims of product disparagement, trade libel, copyright or trademark infringement and more from your use of media).

Endorsements expand the scope of your coverage. The following are just some of the value-added endorsements included in the base policy form:

  • Coverage for a reputational event or customer attrition.
  • Coverage for system failure resulting from events such as human error or programming error, or an infrastructure outage.
  • Coverage for preventative shutdown (proactive business interruption coverage that allows for network shutdown to prevent the spread of a known computer virus affecting the insured or its industry).
  • Coverage for the insured’s contractual partners.

The policy features coverage for Business Interruption and Contingent Business Interruption, and extra expenses for business continuity.

  • Business Interruption : includes continuing normal operating and payroll expenses and a formulaic reimbursement of lost profit before income tax.
  • Contingent Business Interruption : is the same as above but for damages resulting from a breach of a computer system operated by a third party for the benefit of, and under written contract with, the insured.
  • Expenses : are expenses incurred to mitigate, reduce or avoid future cyber incident.

First-party liability coverage in the context of cyber insurance refers to the portion of an insurance policy that covers losses and expenses directly incurred by the insured organization as a result of a cyber incident or data breach. It provides protection against the costs associated with a company’s own response to an incident, including damage to its own data, operations, and systems.

Here’s a breakdown of what first-party liability coverage typically includes in cyber insurance:

Data Breach Costs

  • Notification Costs: When personal data is compromised, organizations may be required by law to notify affected individuals. The cost of these notifications can be significant, covering mailings, emails, and public announcements.
  • Credit Monitoring: Following a data breach, affected individuals may need access to credit monitoring and identity theft protection services, which can be covered under first-party insurance.

Business Interruption

  • Cyber incidents such as ransomware attacks, data breaches, or network outages can result in downtime. First-party coverage helps the insured organization recover lost income and cover operational expenses during periods of business interruption caused by a cyber attack.

Digital Asset Restoration

  • System Repair: Cyber incidents, especially attacks like ransomware, may damage or render systems unusable. The costs of restoring or replacing these systems can be covered under first-party insurance.
  • Data Recovery: Cyber attacks often result in data loss, especially if the data is corrupted or held hostage. The cost of restoring lost or corrupted data is covered by this part of the policy.

Cyber Extortion

  • If an organization is threatened with a cyber attack (such as ransomware) and is extorted to pay for a decryption key or to prevent further harm, first-party insurance may cover the ransom payment and any related expenses.

Reputation Management

  • Following a cyber event, organizations may incur costs related to public relations efforts and brand rehabilitation. This can include hiring PR firms, legal advice, and crisis communication services to mitigate damage to reputation.

Forensic Investigation

  • After an incident, it is essential to understand how the breach or cyber attack occurred. First-party insurance can cover the cost of hiring forensic specialists to investigate the cause and scope of the incident.

Legal and Regulatory Costs

  • Cyber insurance can cover the costs of legal advice and defense if the company faces regulatory scrutiny due to the incident. This can also include fines and penalties related to non-compliance with privacy laws such as GDPR or HIPAA.

Third-party liability coverage in the context of cyber insurance refers to the protection offered by an insurance policy for claims made by parties outside the insured organization (i.e., third parties) who are impacted by a cyber incident caused by the insured entity’s actions, negligence, or failure to adequately secure their systems or data.

While first-party coverage protects the insured organization from its own losses, third-party liability coverage addresses the legal responsibility the insured has when its cyber incident affects others. This coverage typically includes costs for legal defense, settlements, judgments, and damages arising from claims made by third parties.

Key Components of Third-Party Liability Coverage in Cyber Insurance

Data Breach Liability

  • If an organization’s systems are compromised and customer or client data is exposed, third-party liability coverage can help cover the costs associated with legal claims from those affected parties. This might include individuals whose personal data was breached or other businesses who were harmed by the breach.

Privacy Liability

  • This covers costs arising from a failure to protect sensitive personal information. If the insured organization does not comply with privacy laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA) or experiences a data breach involving personal data, it can be held liable to third parties, such as customers or employees. The policy covers defense and settlement costs in such situations.

Network Security Liability

  • If an organization’s inadequate network security leads to an attack that damages another party’s network or causes disruption, third-party liability coverage can help cover the costs of defense and liability claims brought against the insured.

Intellectual Property Infringement

  • If an organization unintentionally infringes on the intellectual property rights of a third party (such as using copyrighted content without permission) in the course of a cyber-related incident, third-party liability insurance may cover the costs of defending against these claims.

Business Interruption Claims from Third Parties

  • If a cyber event disrupts the business operations of a third party (such as a vendor or partner), and they suffer financial losses as a result, third-party liability coverage might cover claims related to those losses, depending on the specific terms of the policy.

Regulatory Fines and Penalties

  • If the insured organization faces fines or penalties from government or regulatory bodies due to a data breach or failure to comply with privacy laws, third-party liability coverage may help pay for these costs, especially if they arise from a breach affecting third-party individuals or businesses.

Media Liability

  • This covers the organization against claims arising from defamation, libel, slander, or the infringement of copyrights related to the organization’s online content or communications, potentially caused by a cyber attack or misinformation spreading through a company’s systems.
  • First-party coverage refers to the direct costs and losses experienced by the insured organization.
  • Third-party coverage deals with claims made by others (e.g., customers, clients, or vendors) against the insured due to their data being compromised or harmed as a result of the insured’s actions.

In cyber insurance, first-party coverage focuses on protecting the policyholder against the immediate, tangible impacts of a cyber incident on their operations, while third-party coverage is concerned with legal liabilities stemming from the breach’s impact on others.
