Cyber Liability

Data breach response, ransomware, business interruption, and liability from cyber events.

— Who it's for

Built for the way you actually operate.

Any business that stores customer data, takes electronic payments, relies on email and cloud systems, or simply couldn't operate for a week without its network.

— Where it shows up

Real scenarios, in plain terms.

Ransomware locks your systems

Cyber policies commonly include incident response teams, forensics, and negotiation support — plus coverage for the income lost while systems are down.

Customer data is exposed

Breach response costs — notification, credit monitoring, legal counsel — are often the largest part of a data incident. Cyber coverage is built around them.

Funds transfer fraud

A spoofed email redirects a payment. Social engineering and funds transfer fraud coverage may apply, subject to the policy's terms and your verification procedures.

— Worth knowing

Considerations & limitations.

Every policy has terms, conditions, and exclusions. These are the points we walk through before you decide — availability and eligibility vary by carrier.

  • Carriers increasingly require MFA, backups, and endpoint protection as conditions of coverage.
  • Application accuracy matters — misstating your security controls can jeopardize a claim.
  • Coverage for dependent business interruption (a vendor's outage) varies widely.
  • We handle the insurance side; for hands-on security work we refer to Columbia Tech Group.
— Questions

Frequently asked.

We're small — do we really need cyber insurance?

Small businesses are frequent targets precisely because controls are lighter. If you store customer information or depend on your systems to operate, it's worth a conversation.

What will carriers ask us to have in place?

Commonly: multi-factor authentication, regular backups, endpoint protection, and employee awareness practices. Requirements vary by carrier and limit.

Is cyber covered under my general liability?

Generally no — most GL policies exclude electronic data and cyber events. Cyber is a separate policy.
