Cyber insurance for small businesses that keep data.
If you store customer records, take card payments or bank online, you’re a target. Blue Ridge Insurance quotes cyber liability for Central Virginia businesses so a breach, ransomware attack or wire fraud doesn’t come out of your pocket.
Your other policies almost certainly exclude this.
General liability and property policies are generally written to exclude or sharply limit losses from data breaches, hacking and electronic fraud. A cyber policy fills that gap, covering both your own costs to respond and the claims others bring against you.
Carriers now ask about security controls before they quote, such as multi-factor authentication, backups and email filtering. Having those in place can be the difference between a reasonable premium and a declined application.
Carriers will usually ask about
- Multi-factor authentication on email and remote access
- Offline or separate backups
- Endpoint protection software
- Employee phishing training
- Payment verification procedures
What a cyber policy can cover
Breach response
Forensics, legal counsel, customer notification and credit monitoring.
Ransomware
Extortion demands and the experts who negotiate and restore systems.
Business interruption
Lost income while your systems are down after an attack.
Funds transfer fraud
Money lost to spoofed invoices and fraudulent wire instructions, when included.
Liability claims
Lawsuits from customers or partners whose data was exposed.
Regulatory costs
Defense and certain fines from regulatory investigations, where insurable.
