How it works

How we handle Cyber Liability, end-to-end.

Cyber liability insurance covers the financial fallout of breaches and incidents: breach notification costs, credit monitoring for affected customers, ransomware payments, business interruption losses, regulatory fines, defense costs.

1

Risk profile

We assess your data: customer PII, payment data, health data, intellectual property. Industry, revenue, security posture (MFA, EDR, backups), and prior incidents drive pricing.

2

Carrier comparison

We submit to specialty cyber carriers (Coalition, Vouch, Beazley, AIG, Travelers) and traditional carriers offering cyber endorsements. Specialty markets often better for tech businesses.

3

Coverage selection

First-party (your costs): breach response, ransomware, business interruption. Third-party (claims against you): regulatory fines, customer class actions. Standard $1M-$5M limits.

4

Bind + incident response retainer

Most cyber policies include access to incident response panels (Mandiant, CrowdStrike, etc.) at preferred rates. We help you set up the relationship before an incident.

FAQ

About the Cyber Liability Insurance Service.

Do I need cyber insurance?
If you store customer data, accept payments online, or run on tech infrastructure, yes. The cost of a single breach often exceeds the policy limit; cyber insurance is a critical layer. Most enterprise customers require it on B2B contracts.
What is first-party vs. third-party coverage?
First-party: your costs (breach response, ransomware, business interruption). Third-party: claims against you (customer class actions, regulatory fines). Most cyber policies cover both.
Does cyber cover ransomware?
Most do, with sublimits and conditions. Carriers increasingly require MFA, EDR, and backups as prerequisites for ransomware coverage. We help you meet underwriting requirements.
What does cyber not cover?
Bodily injury (need GL), property damage to your own assets (need property/BOP), professional services errors (need E&O), employment claims (need EPLI). Cyber is for incidents involving data or systems.
Why are premiums rising?
Ransomware and large breach severity drove cyber loss ratios above 100% in 2020-2022. Carriers tightened underwriting and raised rates. Premiums stabilized in 2024-2025 but baseline rates remain higher than pre-2020.
What about social engineering / business email compromise?
Wire fraud from compromised emails is often excluded from base cyber. Add the social engineering endorsement. Without it, BEC losses (which are extremely common) are not covered.
