Cyber Liability Insurance
The vast majority of businesses that suffer a data breach fail to recover because they did not have a plan in place to deal with a possible breach. Responding to a breach is a complicated process that requires the assistance of many different professionals. Failure to notify the affected individuals without unreasonable delay could cost your agency up to $1,500,000 in fines from government agencies. Add this to the $200,000 average cost to comply with notification laws, the legal liability and the reputational harm caused by the breach and you can quickly see how this exposure can be devastating to your agency.
