The right solution for your insurance needs – we will define your needs and structure an insurance program that fits best. Often insuring your professional or cyber liability is a requirement from your clients. 

Professional Liability Insurance (PI)

In IT professional services to clients the stakes could be very high. A small error or omission which causes financial loss to your client could cost you a lot of money. Often clients within Europe or USA/Canada requires insurance against those risks.

You may be held liable by a client and sue you for the losses. If you don’t have the correct business insurance coverage, you’ll have to foot the legal expenses on your own. This could be the difference between staying in business or going into bankruptcy.

Cyber insurance

IT sector is the second most prone to cyber-attacks. The average costs of data breach for the sector is in excess of USD 5 mln. To protect your business’s reputation and bottom line, you should consider cyber liability coverage. 

A cyber policy should address risks like ransom payments, fines and proactive forensic services. The costs stack up quickly and you start paying the moment you suspect there is a data breach. While all companies are prone to cyber-attacks, small and medium enterprises are even more vulnerable as the pressure on their cashflow and reputation may have a fatal outcome.
