FAQs

  • Is cyber insurance expensive?

    It's surprisingly affordable for most small businesses. Premiums depend on your industry, data volume, and systems used-but many policies start under $1,000 annually.

  • Doesn't my general liability policy cover this?

  • What happens if I'm hit with ransomware?

    Your cyber policy can help cover ransom payments, recovery costs, and lost income due to downtime. We'll help you act fast and get the support you need.
