Cyber insurance

Cyber insurance for small business.

If your business emails invoices, takes payments, or stores customer information, you have cyber exposure. The endorsement on your business owners policy probably does not cover the loss most likely to happen to you. Here is what real coverage looks like and how to find out what you actually have.

Cyber insurance covers the financial fallout of a cyber event: a data breach, a ransomware attack, or a fraudulent payment. For a small business, the most likely loss is a spoofed email that reroutes money, not a headline breach. A complete policy is built from first-party coverage, third-party liability, cyber crime, and business interruption, and the cyber endorsement on a business owners policy usually will not cover all of it.

The two losses that actually happen

Two events drive most small business cyber claims. The first is funds transfer fraud, a spoofed email that reroutes a payment you were going to make anyway. The second is ransomware, where systems are locked and the real cost is the recovery and the downtime, not just the ransom.

Neither is exotic, and neither depends on your business being large or high profile. They happen because payments are manual and controls are thin, which is exactly the profile of most small businesses.

The BOP endorsement problem

Most owners believe the cyber endorsement on their business owners policy means they are covered. For the losses above, it usually will not fully respond. The endorsement is often small, and the coverage most likely to be needed, social engineering, is frequently sublimited or excluded. This is the single most common gap we find, and the one worth checking first.

Are you even insurable

Carriers now look for basic controls before they offer good terms: multi-factor authentication on email and remote access, tested backups, and reasonable email security. The value of an independent guide here is getting you insurable, not just quoted, so the coverage is affordable and the application is answered honestly.

How we quote it

Cyber quoting is fast when the exposure is clear. We take a short profile of how your business runs, compare the market, and show you the endorsement against a standalone so the decision is informed. For a real quote or a coverage question, the fastest path is to get a quote or to compare your current coverage.

Frequently asked

Cyber insurance, answered.

Does my small business really need cyber insurance?
If your business emails invoices, takes electronic payments, or stores customer information, you have the exposure cyber covers. A business with almost no digital footprint may reasonably carry very little. We will tell you honestly which you are.
Isn't cyber already on my BOP?
Often there is a small endorsement, but it usually will not respond to the losses that actually happen, especially funds transfer fraud. Reading the endorsement, or letting us read it, is the way to know.
What does cyber insurance actually cover?
A complete policy has first-party coverage (what it pays you), third-party liability (what it pays others), cyber crime (funds fraud), and often business interruption. Each is a distinct piece we size to your business.
How fast can I get cyber insurance?
Quoting is fast when the exposure is clear. We take a short profile of how your business runs and compare the market. Start with a quote or a coverage review.
