The policy provides robust first- and third-party coverages for privacy liability, enterprise security event liability, privacy regulatory liability, media liability (online and offline), crisis management and fraud prevention expenses, ransomware loss, social engineering fraud, telecommunication theft, invoice manipulation, cryptojacking, reputational harm, extortion threat reward and business interruption.

UNDERWRITING: All applications are easily submitted through the CoverWallet for Agents platform by submitting basic information, such as the year the business was founded, revenue, number of employees, location and industry. Additional underwriting questions are based on the National Association of Insurance Commissioners' eligibility classes, which are tailored to each specific classification.

Policy rates are typically determined by the gross revenue of the insured. In addition, insureds will not be charged any additional premium for early cancellations. This product has integrated approvals for insureds with less than $525 million in revenue.
