Cyber insurance for Scarborough businesses

Scarborough's hospitality and tourism businesses take much of their trade through online booking platforms and reservation systems they do not own. When one of those platforms is breached, the businesses on it are caught up in it.

Where the risks come from for Scarborough businesses

A business that relies on a third-party booking or reservation platform is exposed if that platform is breached, its customers' data, held through the platform, can be compromised, and its bookings disrupted, through no failure of its own. The dependency spreads the risk beyond the business's own systems.

A Scarborough example

A booking platform used by a Scarborough hospitality business is breached, exposing the customer data and bookings held through it. Cyber cover responds to the business's own response and liability arising from the platform's breach, an exposure it shares whether or not its own systems were touched.

What cyber insurance covers

Cyber cover can respond to breaches at the third-party platforms a business depends on for bookings and sales, meeting its own response and liability. For a business reliant on such platforms, that reach matters.
