Cyber and data insurance
OUR ASSESSMENT
Compare the incident-response process as well as financial limits. Establish who the business should call immediately, what approvals are required and whether outsourced systems are within scope before an incident happens.
Features to compare
- Hiscox describes forensic support, legal help and assistance with regulatory notifications following qualifying cyber incidents.
- Its cyber range includes optional financial-crime and business-interruption benefits with terms that vary by business.
Limitations and checks
- The published exclusions include outdated or unsupported systems and circumstances known before cover started.
- Do not assume every regulatory fine, fraudulent transfer or interruption is insured; check the relevant section and conditions.
The question to ask
Which security controls must remain in place, and what incident-response, supplier-outage and payment-fraud benefits are included?
