Cyber insurance FAQs

What's the best way to protect my business from a cyber attack?

An appropriately tailored Cyber Insurance policy is an essential protection. But you can count on Lockton for much more than that. We’ll help you develop a comprehensive cyber security plan. Acting as your cyber risk consultant, we’ll help you implement best-practice cyber security measures across your business, and minimise the chances, and potential consequences, of any cyber attack.

The cyber risks your business faces depend on the nature and scope of your operations. That's why you need cover that’s tailor-made to your unique needs. Working with a cyber risk partner like Lockton also protects you against cyber liability claims, with legal resources and reimbursement of legal fees. We can also help you access incident preparation and response support, employee training, forensics and breach of notification services. And you can count on protection against lost revenue and expenses, regulatory fines, data and hardware restoration costs, and reputational harm.

Wherever you’re based, whatever sector you’re in, your business will benefit from having comprehensive Cyber Insurance.

Here are some of the key benefits our Cyber Insurance solutions deliver:

  • Risk mitigation: We work closely with you to understand the threats your business faces. Based on this detailed analysis, we can help you implement rigorous procedures and systems, so you can prevent cyber incidents arising in the first place

  • Recovery: Your Cyber Liability Insurance will cover the costs of bringing in professional services to help you recover from a cyber attack. This ensures your business will be back up and running with minimal disruption.

  • Peace of mind: With your finances and reputation on the line, falling victim to a cyber attack can prove extremely stressful. Our comprehensive Cyber Liability Insurance removes a lot of that stress, leaving you free to focus on your business

The cost of Cyber Insurance for your SME depends on several factors, including the size and nature of your operations, the volume of sensitive data you handle, and your existing cybersecurity measures. We work with leading insurers to provide competitive, tailored quotes that reflect your unique risk profile, ensuring you get robust protection at a cost-effective price.

While both protect your business, they cover different primary risks. Professional Indemnity Insurance (PII) typically covers claims of financial loss by a client due to your professional negligence, errors, or omissions. Cyber Insurance, on the other hand, specifically addresses financial losses and liabilities arising from cyber events like data breaches, ransomware attacks, and system outages. While some PI policies might have limited cyber extensions, comprehensive Cyber Insurance is crucial for dedicated protection against the full spectrum of digital threats.

However small (or large) your business, if you use technology then you have a cyber risk exposure. The frequency, severity and sophistication of cyber attacks is constantly increasing. It only takes one successful cyber attack to have a potentially catastrophic impact on your finances and reputation. We can help protect your business against cyber attacks and data breaches - and mitigate the impact if you should fall victim to cyber crime.
