Internet and Email Insurance

Also referred to as cyber-liability, Internet and Email insurance is a relatively new product to the insurance market and is a key consideration for office based firms with a heavy reliance on internet and email usage.

With the rapidly expanding importance of the World Wide Web in the way we do business today, a breach of internet security or a virus spread by email could have devastating commercial consequences.

Furthermore, the nature of electronically generated and exchanged information is such that once a statement is made, it’s content can be traced and used as evidence should it need to be in a disciplinary or court case for example. It is crucial for businesses of all sizes to document and circulate to staff an internet and email usage policy in order to protect against potentially crippling legal action.

Many office insurance providers now include Internet and Email insurance within a standard packaged offering as it is fast becoming a key consideration for business protection.
