Cyber Liability – Densmore Insurance Strategies

CYBER LIABILITY INSURANCE

CYBER LIABILITY INSURANCE ANKENY/DES MOINES

In today’s Internet-based world, the need for exceptional cyber liability insurance increases each day. Just because you haven’t been a victim of data breach doesn’t mean that you are immune to a cyber attack. In reality, cybercrime has risen to the No. 1 threat to business existence for the second year in a row. Consider the depth of this statistic: the No. 1 threat to a business staying open to customers isn’t fire, general liability loss, auto loss, or workers’ compensation loss. Instead, it resides in the reputational destruction, future viability damage, and loss of customer confidence as a result of pesky cyber thieves.

Today, more than 90 percent of businesses with under $100 million in revenue, including those located in Iowa, have not purchased cyber liability protection. However, each day we’re working to spread awareness on the value of this essential coverage, translating education into long-term protection. At Densmore Insurance Strategies. Inc., we specialize in securing cyber liability insurance for our clients, in Iowa as well as a selection of other states. The best time to purchase insurance is before a loss – after the fire, it’s too late. Take our advice, and get on board with cybersecurity protection.

What is Cyber Liability Insurance?

The state of Iowa has passed legislation on handling data breach or intrusion after it occurs; however, to date, there are no regulations that require cyber liability insurance coverage. Clearly, this lack of legislation doesn’t mirror the importance of this coverage.

At Densmore Insurance, Inc., our agents are informed, committed to remaining on the forefront of protection, and are passionate about gathering information on the topic of cybersecurity and sharing this knowledge with our Iowa neighbors. As an independent insurance agency, we have the ability to focus on the individual needs of each client. We take this opportunity to heart, learning the ins and outs of your business practices. Agents take time to communicate the availability of offerings within our commercial business insurance program, including cyber liability insurance. Once a client’s needs are determined, we’ll follow through by matching requirements with insurance products from our collection of renowned carriers.

For many of our competitors, the purchasing process for cyber insurance includes a lengthy application and extensive warranty statements. This method is designed to narrow coverage triggers in the event of a claim. In addition, many policies carry a sublimit for expenses, which can cause complications in the event of a claim.

Instead, our agency operates in a different fashion by implementing a streamlined process with an online application. This allows clients to secure comprehensive cybersecurity coverage in just a matter of minutes. Think of it as less time handling insurance, paired with more productive time invested in your business.

Through our cyber liability insurance program, we can secure a selection of coverages, including:

Cyber Breach or Intrusion
Protection against unauthorized release of PII, PHI, corporate financial information, as well as violations of a person’s right to privacy, publicity, etc.
Regulatory Claims-Legal Defense – resulting in fines/penalties from a regulatory claim (federal, state, local, or foreign statute or regulations)
First and Third Party Coverage – personal or non-public information of customers or employees
Security Wrongful Acts
Multimedia Liability
Ransomware (cyber extortion)
Business Income and Digital Asset Restoration
PCI-DSS Assessment
24/7 Claims Hotline

Experienced Agents Tuned into Cyber Protection

Despite the danger, it poses, cybercrime is excluded from most traditional policies. Limited coverage can be endorsed with general liability coverage, crime insurance, and some directors and officers (D&O) policies. However, these forms of coverage are not intended to respond to modern threats posed in today’s 24/7 spread of information.

As a business local to Bondurant, Iowa, we can relate to the fear of unfortunate cyber scenarios. This fear, however, cannot translate into inaction. Being proactive is essential to reducing the risk of your business being shouldered with devastating financial burdens.

CyberHealth Check is a quick, efficient e-risk examination conducted via a survey. We begin by gathering information and conducting an audit of existing materials.

CFO Cyber Risk Assessment offers a more in-depth solution, combining the Cyber Health Check with an independent review of security and privacy practices conducted by peers. This solution also includes a remote vulnerability scan of perimeter network devices such as web and email servers, firewalls and more to ensure they are properly guarded against outside attacks. Up to eight systems can be tested. A CFO Summary Report benchmarks client practices against industry standards, notes weak spots and makes recommendations for improving security safeguards.

Network Vulnerability Scan Testing digs deep, scanning your entire network, including firewalls and web servers, for areas of weakness. NetDiligence’s Scan Testing tool can identify more than 6000 potential vulnerabilities more commonly used by hackers, including misconfigured, unpatched, or unhardened externally facing network servers and devices. Probes can detect whether an attacker can gain unauthorized access, create a denial of service or gain sensitive data from the network. A concise Summary Report details the findings and offers critical fix recommendations to remediate any uncovered vulnerabilities and help close up the gaps before a malicious actor finds them.
