Frequently Asked Questions

We know cyber insurance and the threats Australian businesses face online.

What is cyber insurance?

Cyber insurance was created to help protect you and your business from financial damage caused by computer hacking and data breaches. A cyber attack can cost your business not only money, but also intellectual property and private information, which can lead to brand damage.

Do I need cyber cover?

If you have a website or online platform that holds data or transacts information, you are vulnerable to cyber threats. Businesses of every size are targeted, so it's worth talking to us about your exposure and the cover available.

What can cyber insurance cover?

Cover options can include business interruption losses, cyber extortion, data replacement, security and privacy liability, defence costs, regulatory breaches, media liability, crisis management, and notification and monitoring expenses. We tailor the mix to your business.

Does cyber insurance cover phishing and social engineering?

Some policies include or offer cover for social engineering and phishing losses, while others exclude it or apply a lower limit. It's important to check the wording – tell us how your business handles payments and we'll find options that address this risk.

What affects the cost of cyber insurance?

Premiums depend on factors such as your industry, turnover, the type and volume of data you hold, the IT security measures you have in place (like multi-factor authentication and backups), your claims history and the limits and excess you choose.

Who do I contact to make a claim?

If you suspect a cyber incident, contact us at Shielded Insurance on 1800 97 98 99 as soon as possible. Claims can be notified 24/7 and we'll guide you through the process with the insurer.
