How is this different from cyber insurance?

Cyber covers the technical attack and recovery; privacy breach focuses on the exposure of personal data and the legal duties that follow. Many businesses need both — we'll structure them together.

Do small businesses need it?

Any business holding personal data has breach obligations. Coverage is scaled to your size and the data you hold.

What if a breach was an honest mistake?

Coverage applies whether the breach was a cyberattack or human error like a lost device or misdirected email.

Businesses that hold customer or employee data carry legal obligations if that data is exposed. Privacy breach coverage pays for notification, credit monitoring, regulatory response, and the liability that follows a privacy incident — whether it's a hack, a lost laptop, or human error.

It complements cyber insurance and is essential for any business handling personal information.
