After you have built your cybersecurity program, you need to consider cybersecurity insurance.

The cyber insurance policy is in addition to your general liability policy. The problem with cyber insurance policies is that they are "non-standard form" policies, which means that unlike your auto insurance or home insurance, cyber insurance policies vary widely in their coverage and limits. One of the services we offer to larger companies is to review their cyber insurance policy and make sure they have the coverage they think they have. Many times they don't. We provide you with a basic primer and checklist to help you buy the right insurance. We'll also give you recommendations for a couple of cybersecurity insurance brokers whom we know and trust.
