Common Questions

Cyber Insurance Questions Answered

Helpful introductory information for UK SMEs considering cyber risk protection.

What does cyber insurance typically cover for a UK SME? +
Cyber insurance can include support with responding to data breaches, ransomware, cyber extortion, legal matters and business interruption. The protection available varies significantly between policies, so it is important to read the wording, limits and exclusions carefully.
Does cyber insurance cover GDPR investigations or penalties? +
Some policies may provide support for regulatory investigations and certain related liabilities where legally insurable. Whether a policy responds to a GDPR-related event depends on its wording, the circumstances and applicable UK law.
Do small businesses need cyber insurance if they use cloud software? +
Using cloud software can improve resilience, but it does not remove risks such as phishing, stolen passwords, payment diversion or accidental data disclosure. A business should consider its data, systems, contractual responsibilities and ability to recover from disruption.
What security measures might insurers expect from SMEs? +
Insurers commonly ask about measures such as multi-factor authentication, secure backups, software updates, staff awareness training and endpoint protection. Requirements differ by insurer and policy, and inaccurate answers can create difficulties if a claim is made.
How can a business compare cyber insurance policies effectively? +
Compare the policy scope, exclusions, claims process, incident response services and security conditions rather than relying on headline descriptions alone. Consider realistic scenarios for your business, such as a compromised email account or an unavailable online shop.
