Cyber insurance for Chippenham businesses

Chippenham's engineering, tech and commuter businesses work on the move, laptops, phones and tablets carrying company and customer data out of the office every day. A device left on a train can be a data breach in a pocket.

Where the risks come from for Chippenham businesses

A lost or stolen laptop, phone or drive holding personal or confidential data is a breach in its own right, especially if the device was not encrypted, exposing whatever it held to whoever finds it. Mobile working spreads a business's data across many devices, and any one of them can go astray.

A Chippenham example

An unencrypted laptop holding customer data is stolen from a Chippenham employee's car, and the business must treat it as a breach, investigating and notifying those affected. Cyber cover meets the breach response and any liability, and good practice, encryption, would have reduced the exposure.

What cyber insurance covers

Cyber cover responds to breaches from lost and stolen devices as well as hacking, meeting the response, notification and liability. Insurers expect sensible controls, encryption chief among them, that both reduce the risk and support a claim.
