The impact of a cyber incident in a small or medium sized business could be significant and in extreme cases even lead to insolvency. SME’s and middle market companies often handle the same types of data and sensitive information as larger companies, albeit on a smaller scale. They store employee details, take payments, and collect consumer data. But, without the same security infrastructures that big businesses have in place, SME’s and middle market companies can often be more vulnerable to cyber-attacks.
A robust cyber insurance policy can help smaller businesses recover from cyber-attacks which often result in substantial financial losses arising from: theft of personal data, theft of corporate information, theft of financial information (e.g. bank details or payment card details) or theft of money.
For SMEs and middle market companies, generic cyber solutions often overlook the nuanced vulnerabilities specific to these businesses.
Our WTW Continental Europe Cyber Facility is engineered to address such gaps, offering protection that is relevant to the scale and nature of your operations.
