Cyber insurance for Northallerton businesses

Northallerton's accountancy and professional firms hold their clients' financial and tax affairs, and the pressure peaks around the tax and reporting deadlines. Criminals time their attacks to that pressure.

Where the risks come from for Northallerton businesses

Accountancy and tax firms hold rich financial data and face predictable busy periods, around tax deadlines, when they are stretched and quick to act, exactly when a well-timed phishing or fraud attempt is most likely to succeed. The data and the timing make them a favoured target.

A Northallerton example

During the tax-return rush, a Northallerton accountancy firm is breached through a well-timed attack exploiting the seasonal pressure, exposing client financial data. Cyber cover meets the breach response, notification and liability, and works alongside the firm's professional cover.

What cyber insurance covers

For a financial or accountancy firm, cyber cover addresses the breach of sensitive client financial data and dovetails with professional-indemnity cover. The seasonal pressure makes strong cover and awareness matter all the more.
