Insurance

Why consider cyber insurance?

If you run a technology business, you’re often trusted with sensitive data, critical systems, and advice that other businesses rely on to operate. When something goes wrong, whether it’s a cyber attack, system failure, or an unexpected error in your work, the financial impact can be significant.

A data breach or ransomware incident can bring operations to a halt and damage client trust overnight. A coding mistake, failed integration, or piece of incorrect advice can lead to a claim for financial loss. Even temporary downtime can trigger contractual disputes if your clients lose revenue as a result.

Technology insurance is designed to help protect your business against these real-world risks, covering response costs, legal defence, liability exposure, and income loss, so you can focus on innovating and growing with confidence.

Types of Business Insurance

Extra cover to consider

Depending on how your business operates, you may need additional protection beyond standard policies. We can help you identify optional extensions and specialist cover that strengthen your protection and reduce potential gaps.

Material Damage

protects the physical assets your operations rely on — from servers and data storage systems to laptops, networking equipment, and critical hardware. Whether caused by fire, theft, accidental damage, or power events, it ensures you can repair or replace equipment quickly and minimise disruption.

Public Liability

If your business interacts with clients, suppliers, or the public, accidents can happen. Public liability insurance helps protect you against claims for third-party injury or property damage, including legal defence costs and compensation expenses.

Management Liability

If you run a professional services business, you carry responsibilities beyond client work. Management liability insurance helps protect you and your directors against claims relating to employment disputes, regulatory investigations, statutory breaches, and alleged mismanagement.
