Cybercrime is serious business – you need serious protection

Contrary to common misconception, it’s not just large multinational companies that are at risk of cybercrime. In today’s digital world, all organisations, big or small, including SMEs, are at risk of a cyberattack. The rapidly escalating frequency and complexity of cybercrime make it difficult for even the most sophisticated security measures to keep up. Santam is a leading specialist cyber insurer, and we understand the far-reaching consequences this ever-expanding cyber risk could have on a business owner. Santam offers tailor-made comprehensive cyber, privacy and media insurance solutions for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Types of cyber insurance

First-party expenses

Once a breach occurs, there are a range of expenses to get the business back on track. These expenses cover costs to restore data and appoint specialists such as investigators, forensic auditors and loss adjusters.

Business interruption

We will pay you the value of reduced net profit the business suffered during an interruption caused by a cyber incident.

Reputation management expenses

The reputation of a business can be fragile. This covers the costs of a public relations consultant or related advertising expenses to repair any reputational or material brand damage.

Insurable administrative fines and penalties imposed by supervisory authority

This covers the legal defence costs as well as the amount of the fine or penalty itself.

Media liability

With the use of websites, social media and electronic media, there is always a risk of copyright or defamation allegations. This covers any resulting legal defence costs, legal liability, public relations costs, and claims expenses.

Theft of funds

When a network security breach leads to theft of funds, this covers you for any money illegally taken from you.

Notification expenses

When breaches happen, there are costs to notify affected parties and monitor any possible identity theft. The policy covers the related expenses incurred.

Cyber extortion and cybercrime

Should your data or system be locked, or you are threatened by cyber extortionists, we cover the cost of the investigation and the payment of monies (where legally permissible).

Get the help of an expert

Brokers are key in driving cybercrime awareness. They have an important role to play in educating clients about the benefits of cyber insurance and explaining how the cover works. Such knowledge and expertise are invaluable in the complex and relatively unfamiliar world of cybercrime.
