Cyber Liability

data breach and cyber liability insurance

Podiatric practices are rich storehouses of patients’ protected financial and health information, making them prime targets for attacks by cyber criminals.

Areas of Concern:

• Data Breach Liability
• Liability incurred through improper disposal of paper or electronic documents, or the loss of a laptop, tablet or flash drive that contains protected personal, health or financial information.
• Most base commercial liability and property policies do not automatically provide coverage for these types of threats.

To address these issues, Member Insurance Solutions offers the Beazley Breach Response (BBR) Select cyber liability and data breach insurance product through specialty insurer Beazley. The BBR Select program goes beyond traditional coverage to address every aspect of a data breach scenario, from notification, to credit monitoring and reputation management. Additionally, all policyholders are immediately enrolled in the Data Security Risk Management program, which provides unlimited access to online compliance materials, newsletters and instant alerts, expert support and much more.

Select Coverage Highlights:

Legal liability coverage for theft, loss, or unauthorized disclosure of personally identifiable non-public information or third party corporate information that is in the care, custody or control of the insured organization, or an independent contractor that is holding, processing or transferring such information on behalf of the insured.

• Legal liability arising from failure to comply with state breach notice laws (see links in left column for Michigan specific information).
• Coverage for failure to comply with your own privacy policies as well as failure to administer an identity theft prevention program required by governmental regulation.
