Wholesale appetite: cyber

Cyber liability we place.

Breach, ransomware, wire fraud and regulatory defence — bound to the exact language customers and regulators require. Already appointed? Send us the account. New here? Apply for appointment below.

Cyber liability covers the first-party costs of recovering from a cyber event — incident response, forensics, ransomware, lost income — and the third-party liability when a customer's or employee's data is exposed. It's the line that now lives at the intersection of customer contracts, board expectations and regulator demands.

The triggers
we hear most.

A customer or investor is asking for proof of cyber cover.

Customer contracts and investor diligence can ask for cyber limits or specific wording. We compare the request with the policy's limit, retention, definition and conditions before binding a programme.

The account holds sensitive client data — payments, PHI, financial records, IP.

Sensitive client data creates breach-response, notification and third-party liability questions. The right review starts with the data types, systems, record volume and client commitments, not only employee count.

Wire fraud and vendor impersonation are getting through the finance team.

Funds-transfer fraud and vendor impersonation can create material first-party loss. Cyber and crime forms can address them differently, so the social-engineering language and limits should be reviewed against the dollars moving through the firm.

The account ships AI features or operates critical / connected systems.

AI-assisted output, connected products and operational technology can create liability questions that a generic policy may not address as intended. Review the services definition, exclusions and customer promises against the actual product.

Inside the
policy.

Breach response & notification

Incident response, forensics, legal counsel, customer and regulator notification, credit monitoring and PR — the first-call costs that hit before any litigation does.

Ransomware & business interruption

Extortion payments where insurable, system restoration and lost income while the business is offline — including operational technology (OT) shutdown on connected production systems.

Funds transfer & social engineering

Wire fraud, fake-vendor invoices and email compromise — sized to the dollars actually moving through the firm and bound with explicit social-engineering language (not a sub-limit).

Privacy liability & regulatory defence

Third-party claims from clients, customers and employees whose data was exposed — plus defence and fines (where insurable) for HHS, SEC, FINRA, state AGs and international regulators.

Where buyers
get caught out.

Bodily injury from a cyber event

If a hack causes physical injury — including via connected products — that sits with GL or product liability, not cyber. We place the two so they line up.

War and nation-state exclusions

Many cyber forms exclude state-sponsored attacks. The wording matters: a Russian ransomware crew can read either way. We push for affirmative non-state coverage on every renewal.

Failure to maintain known fixes

If a vendor patch sat unapplied for a year and the loss traces to that exact CVE, expect a fight. We flag what hygiene the carrier actually requires to keep cover in force.

How we place
this line.

Appetite matched in-house

Every submission gets matched internally against the carrier relationships most likely to write it — not shopped blind into a dozen inboxes.

Every hour risks the client

A slow market costs you the account. Matched submissions move straight to underwriting, and you're kept posted, even when the answer is no.

Just send the file

No 40-page form, no repeated questions. Send what you've got and we take it from there.
