A phishing email led to a serious data breach. Having the cyber add-on in place meant we had immediate specialist support and the costs were largely covered.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

+-

What is a Cyber & Data add-on?

It is an optional extension to your commercial combined policy that adds protection against cyber incidents and data breaches, covering costs such as IT forensics, legal support, notifications and certain liabilities.

+-

Do small businesses really need cyber cover?

Yes. Smaller businesses are frequently targeted because they often have weaker security. A single incident can be expensive and highly disruptive – cyber cover helps protect cash flow and reputation.

+-

Is cyber cover included automatically in commercial combined insurance?

Not usually. Many standard commercial combined policies exclude or severely limit cyber risks. A specific cyber & data section or add-on is often required to obtain meaningful protection.

+-

Will cyber insurance replace the need for good IT security?

No – insurance is there to support you when things go wrong. You still need appropriate security measures, backups and staff training. Insurers may also require certain minimum controls to be in place as part of cover.
