In today's digital world, cyber attacks are not a matter of if, but when. Without cyber liability insurance, the costs of a data breach can threaten your business's survival.

The True Cost of a Data Breach

  • Notification costs — You're legally required to notify affected individuals
  • Legal fees — Lawsuits and regulatory actions can be extremely costly
  • Regulatory fines — HIPAA, PCI, and state regulations carry significant penalties
  • Business interruption — Downtime during recovery means lost revenue
  • Reputation damage — Customer trust is difficult and expensive to rebuild
  • Credit monitoring — You may need to provide monitoring services to affected individuals

Average Costs

The average cost of a data breach for small businesses exceeds $100,000, and many small businesses that suffer a significant breach go out of business within six months.

Cyber liability insurance from BlackArrow can protect your business from these devastating costs.
