Cyber Insurance

Cyber and computer crime is one of the leading risks facing businesses globally, with smaller businesses being particularly vulnerable.

It can take just one successful cyber-attack to cause significant financial and reputational damage to your business. Put cyber security back on the agenda for your business and don't let your core online systems be compromised. Safeguard your digital assets and the private information of your clients and employees with the right insurance cover.

There are two main policy types / extensions we recommend to businesses and organisations looking to arrange Cyber Insurance, these are:
