Delivering Better Cyber Insurance Outcomes
The combined expertise of Company-X and KHIPU Networks is already helping organisations secure better cyber insurance protection and achieve improved commercial outcomes.
University Secures Cyber Insurance Despite Complex Risk Profile
A university approached Company-X after experiencing difficulties obtaining cyber insurance due to the complexity of its risk profile and operating within a sector considered outside the appetite of many insurers.
Our team carried out a detailed fact-finding exercise and cyber risk assessment, developing a comprehensive understanding of the organisation’s network environment, security controls and risk management processes. By presenting a clear and accurate picture of the university’s cyber maturity to insurers, we were able to obtain multiple cyber insurance quotations within 48 hours.
The university successfully secured comprehensive cyber insurance cover that aligned with its procurement requirements, governance framework and risk management objectives.
Organisation Saves £9,000 While Increasing Cyber Insurance Cover
Another organisation sought to increase its cyber insurance cover from £1 million to £3 million but was facing a significant increase in premium costs at renewal.
Company-X conducted an independent review of the existing cyber insurance policy, followed by a detailed risk assessment and consultation process. Using insights gained throughout the engagement, we approached insurers with a clear representation of the organisation’s risk profile and insurance requirements.
The results were significant:
- A quotation for £3 million of cyber insurance cover that was 36% lower than the incumbent insurer’s renewal offer.
- A reduction in the policy excess from £10,000 to £7,500.
- No excess applied to breach response costs.
- Alternative quotations providing up to £5 million of cover.
Ultimately, the organisation secured enhanced cyber insurance protection while saving £9,000 compared to the quotation offered by its existing insurer.
Cyber Insurance Backed by Cybersecurity Expertise
The partnership between Company-X and KHIPU Networks creates a powerful combination of cybersecurity expertise and specialist cyber insurance knowledge. By helping organisations improve their cyber posture while securing appropriate insurance protection, we enable clients to build greater resilience against today’s evolving cyber threats.
