Cyber Insurance

Advice you can count on

As a business owner, data can be one of the most important assets to your business. Risks include privacy leaks, fraud and data breaches. Protect your assets by preparing for a data breach.

10 reasons why you need cyber liability insurance:

1. Although data can be one of your most important assets, it is not covered by commercial property policies.

2. The third party data that you are responsible for is valuable and you can be held liable if you lose it.

3. Laws are evolving. For example, if you are a retailer you can face penalties if you lose credit card data.

4. System down time is excluded in standard business interruption insurance.

5. Social media claims are on the rise because of the instantaneous exchange of information to the world available through these outlets. Cyber liability insurance can help provide coverage for claims arising from leaked information and defamatory statements.

6.  Cyber crimes is the fastest growing crime in the world but most attacks are not covered under standard commercial property insurance.

7. It is not just big business being targeted by cyber crime; small businesses are at risk as well.

8. Laws are continuously being introduced. If your business has lost sensitive information it is your responsibility to notify the affected parties. Cyber liability insurance can provide coverage for the costs associated with doing so.

9. Portable devices increase the risk of a breach.

10. Your reputation is your number one asset. You need to protect it by preparing for the unexpected should a data breach occur. You can rest assured knowing that your business and your data is protected.

Working with you and your business to prepare for the future… that’s the Roughley Advantage.

    cyber security

    According to a Canadian Underwriter article written by Willie Wong, Security Leader, IBM Canada, “Data security has always been an issue, but perhaps no more than today. A recent survey of 1,500 Canadians clearly shows, however, that awareness of data security lags concern.”

    It seems that we are continuously hearing about large data breaches that happen to celebrities or large organizations such as Target and Home Depot, but we rarely hear about the smaller data breaches that happen on a regular basis.

    So what exactly is cyber risk? Cyber risk can be defined as any exposure to financial loss resulting from some sort of implication from data loss through the Internet and computer networks. It can happen to any type of organization.

    Although coverage is now widely available, according to Nate Spurrier, Business Development Director at IDT911, featured in Canadian Underwriter, “not all companies are willing to address every type of loss that could be incurred when investigating an event, even when offering some form of remedy to affected parties.” Awareness of the implications resulting from a data breach is simply low.

    Are you and your organization protected against cyber risk and a data breach? There are many options available to you. The team at Roughley Insurance Brokers Ltd. can help you understand the type of risks, what you should be prepared for and what every business needs to know.
