Insurance Compliance – How does NaviSec help you meet gaps for cyber security insurance?

What is the meaning of cybersecurity insurance?

Cybersecurity insurance is a type of indemnification arrangement that safeguards the assured business organization against the losses and obligations resulting from the occurrence of malware exploits, hacking attacks, data breaches, or the materializing of other forms of cyber exposures. Coverage typically includes first-hand damage costs and third-party liabilities.

Coverage, premiums, and terms vary by provider. Some companies offer additional coverage for legal fees, fines, settlement costs, and damages from business revenue loss.

Which types of business organizations require cyber insurance?

Cybersecurity insurance is increasingly vital to overall security posture. No defined criteria exists for who faces cyber attacks. However, big-size corporations get targeted more often than others, and the availability of an obsolete cybersecurity infrastructure can also put other small and mid-scale ventures at considerable risk.

Finance, research & technology, and pharma industries face heightened risk. According to Accenture's 2021 Cost of Cybercrime study, 43 percent of cyber attacks are aimed at small ventures, and only 14 percent of these business entities are prepared and covered to shield themselves.

Any organization handling sensitive digital data should consider cyber insurance.

Why can it be tricky to get cybersecurity insurance?

Insurance providers require businesses to meet various terms before approval. Insurers examine factors including business niche, sensitive data volume, and current cybersecurity posture effectiveness.

Basic IT security standards required include firewalls, updated antivirus programs, regular data backups, and adequate user access controls.

Today, more and more insurance carriers ask for an independent assessment to cross-check that the prospective client business demonstrates proper cyber resilience and follows the basic data security measures.

What is a cyber insurance risk assessment?

Cyber insurance risk assessment is a comprehensive evaluation that insurers will call for to spot security gaps and data risks that infest your company's prevailing cybersecurity framework.

Why consider hiring third-party cyber experts for your cyber insurance requirements?

Poor cybersecurity practices result in low coverage and steep premiums. The cyber insurance domain constantly evolves with complex client conditions.

Cybersecurity insurance does not eradicate the significant risk of cyberattacks. It only acts as a cushion to help ease the impact of any security breach.
