Underinsuring can leave a business vulnerable; conversely, overinsuring can unnecessarily raise premiums.<\/p><p><b>Exclusions for Specific Risks<\/b><\/p><p>Examine exclusions for events such as phishing, cloud breaches, or social engineering.<\/p><p>Some policies will require certain cybersecurity measures to be in place before coverage is issued. In understanding these exclusions, you can reduce the claim surprises.<\/p><p><b>Transparency and Speed of Claim Process<\/b><\/p><p>A policy that provides overall clarity and a streamlined claims process is very important for reducing downtime following the cyber incident.<\/p><p>Seek out insurers with an existing process dedicated to the cyber claims process as well as a proven history of settlement time.<\/p><p><b>Discounts for Cybersecurity Measures and Compliance<\/b><\/p><p>A number of insurers will lower premiums or enhance coverage for a business that demonstrates documented cybersecurity controls have been implemented, either through employee training or compliance documentation<\/p><p>Demonstrating these controls or being compliant means the Insurance provider can be confident that your business is more proactive and aware of risk, which is advantageous to coverage or premiums.<\/p><blockquote><p>Confused between so many insurance providers?
