Could your agency weather a data security breach?
A full 80 percent of businesses that experience one don’t. 1 The right insurance can keep your agency from becoming part of this startling statistic.
Data breaches are common among smaller businesses, and responding to a breach is both costly and complex.
You are obligated to protect the data you collect, and package policies are often not enough.
Make sure your agency has the right coverage in place to protect you and your insureds.
Contact your Insurors E&O Specialist, Stephen Holmes, CIC, CISR, for information on Data Breach coverage.
