Commercial cyber insurance - simply explained
What is cyber insurance?
Damage can also occur to your company in the digital environment: A damaged digital infrastructure and loss of data often result in high claims for damages - for example, because confidential information is leaked to the outside. In order to protect you and your company from attacks as well as from financial risks, cyber insurance (also known as IT insurance or cyber risk insurance) is one of the elementary components of modern insurance protection for self-employed persons and companies.
Good to know: By definition, cyber insurance is not a "classic" insurance product and does not count as liability insurance. It therefore covers not only third-party liability claims, but also own damage and business interruption claims:
self-damage includes all damage - material and financial - that a business can incur in the digital space. This includes, for example, the costs of restoring data or IT hardware.
liability damage includes all damage caused by a company to third parties. In addition to financial or property damage, immaterial damage (e.g. violation of personal rights) is also included.
if a business is paralysed for a longer period of time due to IT damage, loss of earnings may occur. These business interuption losses are also covered by cyber insurance.
Damage examples: When does a cyber insurance help?
The risks a company faces in the digital space can be diverse: In addition to well-known dangers of cybercrime (e.g. hacker attacks, computer viruses or IT failures), lesser-known risks such as ransomware damage, a lost laptop or a denial-of-service (DoS) attack can also have serious consequences for a company. These examples of damage show what this can look like:
IT operating error: one of your employees makes a mistake while operating the IT system and deletes important customer data. The data must be restored and the customer informed, which can result in high costs and damaged customer trust.
hacker attack: your IT infrastructure falls victim to a hacker attack and important customer data falls into the wrong hands. You and your customers incur financial damages that now have to be borne by you.
ransomware attack: hackers gain access to one of your servers and encrypt important data, which is only released for a high ransom. The data must now be decrypted again by an expert.
data breach: your company violates the legal confidentiality obligations of the GDPR. Claims for damages arise.
In addition to possible claims for damages (e.g. in the case of published customer data), the cyber insurance also covers costs for other services such as the restoration of data records or crisis management.
In cases where gross negligence or intent are responsible for damage, the insurance is not liable. Business interruption costs due to damage to inventory are also not covered by the cyber insurance for companies. This is where the separate cyber business interruption insurance takes effect.
Does my company need cyber insurance?
Taking out cyber insurance is not mandatory in any industry. Nevertheless, all companies and self-employed persons - not only digital service providers or e-commerce shops - should think about coverage in this area.
The majority of all businesses now work with digital tools and programmes; email traffic is an absolute must. The shift of work to the home office and remote work models also create new cybercrime risks that are no longer covered by outdated insurance models. Cyber insurance brings your insurance protection into the digital space, covers all expected dangers there and can therefore be future-proof in the event of an emergency.
For this reason, the German government recommends that entrepreneurs take out cyber insurance and considers it a useful addition to any existing insurance package.
How much does cyber insurance cost?
How high the monthly costs for a cyber or cyber risk insurance are depends on various factors and is therefore difficult to generalise. The following aspects, among others, play a central role in determining the costs:
desired sum insured
individual cyber risk
size of business and turnover
industry
existing security standards
insureQ can use specific questions to create a comprehensive insurance package for your company that is tailored to all your needs. We work more accurately than a conventional premium calculator on comparison portals and can provide you with your insurance cover within just a few minutes. Thanks to the immediate cost calculation, you always know directly which premiums are associated with the individual components of the cyber insurance.
How high should the coverage amount of a cyber insurance be?
The coverage amount (also called the sum insured) is the maximum amount of money that an insurance provider will pay out in the event of a claim. This sum, just like the cost of cyber insurance, is highly dependent on individual factors. These include, among others:
industry and activity
turnover
existing IT security measures
potential risk of damage
potential repair costs
It is also essential to adjust the amount of cover to individual security needs before taking out cyber insurance for businesses.
