Cyber Liability Insurance
Cyber liability covers the cost of a data breach, ransomware attack, or privacy claim — critical for security firms that store video footage, alarm codes, access credentials, and connected camera systems.
Cyber Liability for Security & Surveillance Companies
Few businesses hold more sensitive data than a security company: live and recorded video of customers' homes and businesses, alarm codes, access-control credentials, floor plans, and the keys to connected camera and IoT systems. That makes you a high-value target — and creates serious legal exposure if that data is breached.
What Cyber Covers
- Data breach response: Forensics, customer notification, and credit monitoring
- Ransomware / cyber extortion: Costs to respond to and recover from an attack
- Cyber business interruption: Lost income when your systems or monitoring platform are down
- Privacy liability: Claims and regulatory actions over mishandled footage or personal data
- Network security liability: Claims that your breach harmed a client's network
- Regulatory defense: Costs tied to privacy investigations and penalties
Your Cameras Are an Attack Surface
Internet-connected cameras, NVRs, and access-control systems are notoriously targeted by attackers — and if a system you installed or monitor is compromised, the client may look to you. A breach can expose your customers' video and trigger notification, privacy, and network-security claims. Cyber coverage responds where your GL and E&O may not.
Broker-Built Coverage
Cyber terms vary widely — sub-limits on ransomware, requirements for multi-factor authentication and backups, and exclusions all differ by carrier. We match your systems and data practices to a carrier offering meaningful limits and help you meet the security controls insurers now expect.
What's Covered
Frequently Asked Questions
You store customers' video footage, alarm codes, and access credentials, and you install connected systems attackers target. A breach can expose that data and trigger notification, privacy, and network-security claims that GL and E&O don't cover.
Increasingly, yes — multi-factor authentication, backups, and basic safeguards are common conditions of coverage. We help you understand and meet each carrier's requirements so your policy holds up at claim time.
