Cyber Liability Insurance

Covers the cost of ransomware, data breaches, and online fraud — from forensic investigation and customer notification to lawsuits and lost income.

Ransomware, data breaches, and fraudulent payment requests are now some of the most common and costly losses for businesses and public entities of every size. Cyber liability insurance pays to respond, recover, and defend you when it happens.

“Our liability, fleet, and cyber insurance that McBane has provided has increased our coverage at a lower cost.”

— Melissa Baker, Treasurer, United Local School District

First-party coverage: your own costs

  • Breach response — forensic investigation, legal guidance, and public relations
  • Notification and credit monitoring for affected customers or employees
  • Ransomware and cyber extortion
  • Data restoration and system recovery
  • Business interruption — lost income while your systems are down
  • Social engineering and funds-transfer fraud, often available as an add-on

Third-party coverage: claims against you

  • Privacy liability if customers or employees sue after a breach
  • Regulatory defense and certain fines and penalties where insurable
  • Media liability for content on your website and social media

Who we insure

Retailers and restaurants that take card payments, medical and professional offices that hold personal information, contractors and manufacturers that rely on email and online banking, and school districts and public entities that hold resident and student data.

Cyber policies vary widely from carrier to carrier. As an independent agency, we compare coverage and help you through the application.

FAQ

Cyber Liability questions, answered.

Isn't cyber risk only a problem for big companies?

No. Small businesses, school districts, and local governments are frequent targets because they often have fewer IT resources. A single ransomware attack or fraudulent wire transfer can be costly for any organization.

What does cyber insurance cover?

Most policies cover breach response — forensic investigation, legal advice, customer notification, and credit monitoring — plus ransomware and extortion, data restoration, business interruption, and liability if customers or regulators bring claims. Coverage varies by carrier, so we compare the details.

Does my general liability or property policy cover cyber events?

Usually not, or only in very limited amounts. Most general liability and property policies exclude data breaches and cyberattacks, which is why a standalone cyber policy matters.

What will a carrier ask about my security?

Expect questions about multi-factor authentication, backups, employee training, and software updates. We'll help you through the application, and many carriers offer resources to strengthen your security.
