Overview — Network Cyber Security and Privacy Insurance from SLB Insurance Group
SLB Insurance Group offers a focused Network Cyber Security and Privacy Insurance program designed for agents to place a wide range of cyber exposures. This program pairs broad first- and third-party coverages with incident response services from accredited IT forensics firms and access to crisis management and public relations resources. It is built for brokers who need a market that can respond quickly and support insureds through breach notification, data restoration, and reputational challenges.
Ideal Accounts and Appetite
This program is a strong fit for small to mid-sized organizations that rely on technology and third-party vendors to run operations. Examples include:
- Professional services firms (accountants, architects, consultants) handling client data
- Healthcare practitioners and medical offices with electronic patient records
- Retailers and e-commerce businesses that process payment card data
- Technology and software providers, managed service providers (MSPs), and SaaS vendors
- Financial services, real estate, and nonprofit organizations with privacy and security exposures
Accounts with formalized cybersecurity controls, written vendor management, and basic incident response plans are preferred. Extremely large enterprises or accounts with known unresolved breaches may require specialized placement.
