Cyber insurance

Don't face a cyberattack alone.

Ransomware, CEO fraud, data leaks: a cyberattack can bring your business to a halt overnight. Cyber insurance covers the damage and gives you access to experts from the very first hour.

Why it matters

Very real situations.

Situation

Ransomware encrypts all your client files.

Consequence

Your business grinds to a halt: cyber insurance pays for the experts who restore your systems and covers the business interruption loss.

Situation

A fake e-mail from management leads to a fraudulent transfer.

Consequence

CEO fraud is a common attack; it must be covered explicitly.

Situation

Client data is stolen.

Consequence

You must inform the people concerned and, if the risk is high, the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC): crisis management costs and your liability are covered.

What we cover

The essentials, explained simply.

Crisis management

A hotline and IT, legal and communications experts, as soon as the attack is detected.

Data restoration

The costs of recovering your data and restoring your systems.

Business interruption

Loss of income while your business is interrupted.

Cyber liability

Third-party claims following a data leak or the spread of malware.

Fraud & scams

Depending on the contract, losses linked to CEO fraud or payment manipulation.

Data protection

The costs of informing the people concerned and of support in dealing with the authorities (Federal Act on Data Protection, FADP).

Prevention

Recommendations to reduce risks: backups, strong authentication, staff awareness.

Points to watch

The mistakes we see most often.

  • 01

    Thinking you are too small to be targeted

    SMEs are regularly targeted, often because they are less well protected than large companies.

  • 02

    Security requirements not met

    Contracts often require minimum measures (backups, updates, authentication): failing to apply them can reduce your cover.

  • 03

    Assuming your other policies cover cyber risks

    Conventional property and liability insurance often excludes cyber damage: dedicated cover is needed.

  • 04

    Forgetting the reporting obligation

    A data security breach posing a high risk must be reported to the FDPIC as soon as possible (FADP).

Frequently asked questions

Cyber insurance:your questions.

Our experts' answers to the questions we are asked most often.

Yes: SMEs are regularly targeted and rarely have a dedicated IT team. Immediate access to experts is often as important as the compensation.
