Cyber coverage options
We offer line sizes up to £/€/$10m on Company or Lloyd's paper. In Asia, our local currency maximum line sizes are HKD 75m and SGD 10m. We write business on a primary and excess basis, and we write business on a worldwide basis (excluding sanctioned territories). Key coverages include:
First-party loss (on a first-discovered basis)
- Privacy breach notification and mitigation costs
- System and data rectification costs, including bricking, to full limit
- Business interruption extends to critical service providers, system failures, and preventative shutdown
- Extortion costs cover
- Regulatory investigations, and fines, including Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)
Third-party liability
- Cyber and privacy liability
- E-media
- Professional and technology services liability
We participate on global cyber programs, for the very largest global cyber risks, whether on a co-insurance, excess layer, or primary basis. We will consider a direct or reinsurance basis, and are happy to work with self-insurance or captive backdrops.
We can also consider cyber binding authorities, lineslips, providing capacity to Managing General Agents (MGAs), or via similar facilities where small or medium-sized enterprise (SME) cyber is often transacted. We recognize the need for efficiency in this small business context.
While our Markel Cyber 360 policy is a standalone primary cyber insurance product, typically for entities with revenues between £/€/$25m and £/€/$1Bn, we are happy to consider sizes outside this range.
We target a wide spectrum of industries and have the flexibility to consider the unusual.
