Cyber Insurance

Helps Safeguard Your Business Against Online Risks

Providing business owners peace of mind and protection against cyber-attacks, such as computer hacking, ransomware or data theft.

Who should consider it?

Every business that has a website or electronic records is vulnerable to cybercrime or an accidental data breach – and the consequences of a cyber-incident can be very costly. Depending on the situation, you may be up for the cost of ransoms or IT solutions to unlock and repair your systems. You could also be liable for the costs of reporting the breach, legal claims, and remediating any losses suffered by your customers or clients. Remember, a cyber-attack or data breach may cost your business more than just money. It could threaten your intellectual property, put your customers’ personal information at risk and cause major damage to the reputation of your company.

What isn’t covered

There are exclusions. There is also often a deductible or excess and limits on cover, so check with your Guardsafe Insurance Broker.
