Cyber / Data Breach
Who's looking out for you? We are.
Insurance industry statistics sadly indicate 65% of small businesses are NOT prepared for cyber/data losses.
Providing professional services is a risky business in today’s data driven world. The potential loss of the confidential client data that your professional business possesses can financially cripple, or in many cases, bankrupt your business. The data you possess can come in two forms: paper and electronic. No matter what type of professional services you provide, you most likely possess driver license numbers, credit card and banking information, employment or health information or other types of confidential data. The unauthorized loss or theft of personal identifiable information (PII) can lead to a business-ending loss: a cyber liability or data breach loss.
Most businesses are unaware that their standard business liability insurance policy does not cover a cyber/data breach loss, or at least not the proper measure of coverage. Data may be compromised by a virus, cyber thief, hacker, lost or stolen computers, or lost or stolen flash drives and smart phones. Substantial financial losses may occur due to numerous first party expenses and third party claims.
