▪ Criminals can breach your system by technical weakness, human weakness or brute force

▪ Cyber intrusions can create liabilities, imposing first party costs, and even stop your business dead in it’s tracks!

Key messages


How can a broker

support you?

20


• An insurance broker is a professional adviser who is an expert in insurance

and risk management.

• Brokers work on behalf of their clients, not for insurance companies, and

can be relied on to provide professional advice in your best interest.

• A broker will help you identify your individual and/or business risks to help

you decide the risks you will insure, and those you can manage in other

ways. They specialise in one specific type of insurance or industry, or they

may deal with many different types.

How can a Broker Support you?

21


• Brokers are aware of the terms and conditions, benefits and exclusions and

costs of a wide range of competing insurance policies, so they are able to

help you find the most appropriate cover for your own circumstances.

• As well as arranging and placing cover with the chosen insurer on behalf of

their clients, brokers also act on behalf of their clients in the event of a claim
