Cyber Insurance Services in Ontario
Our businesses often depend on the internet and, while we can’t stop attacks from happening, we can minimise the damage done by ensuring we have the right safeguards in place. Our brokers will craft a cyber risk insurance policy to help protect you.
Every business has a duty of care to its customers and to the general public. If you are subject to a data breach through malware, compromised emails, hackers, or other breaches, a cyber insurance policy will help you meet the legal requirement to investigate the extent of the attack and develop strategies for contacting those affected. This type of investigation is an expensive financial burden to take on yourself as it can include IT forensics, credit monitoring, setting up call centres to handle the matter, and much more.
Most cyber insurance coverages will help you pay for data loss, the cost to repair equipment, related reputation management expenses, as well as liability risks and legal costs associated with data breaches, including any possible lawsuits of negligence. You can also add optional network business interruption coverage to pay for profit losses, business interruption, or ransomware coverage for fees related to online extortion.
