Cyber insurance for breaches, ransomware and digital fraud

Cyber insurance covers the losses that general liability, E&O and crime policies were never written for: a breach, a ransomware lockout, or fraud that moves money out of your accounts. We match each business to specialist cyber carriers across Washington and Oregon.

Why it matters

The exposure standard policies leave out

A single incident can trigger forensic investigation, customer notification, regulatory fines, lost revenue and lawsuits — losses that general liability and crime forms exclude. Since 1992 we've helped Pacific Northwest businesses through each new wave of risk, and today we place cyber coverage with specialist carriers that pair the policy with a response team.

When an attack hits

How one cyber incident escalates

Three illustrative examples of what happens when coverage is missing, and what closes the gap.

What happened

Hackers encrypt the network on a Friday night

Attackers encrypted a 45-employee company's entire network and demanded $180,000 in Bitcoin within 72 hours. Staff couldn't work, orders stopped and no one could reach financial records or client data. Even after the ransom was paid, recovery took 23 days — and the general liability policy excluded cyber incidents.

What respondsRansomware and extortion coverage pays ransom, negotiation and recovery, business interruption replaces lost income, and crisis management gets you back online.

  • Ransom payment$180,000
  • Lost revenue (23-day outage)$1,150,000
  • IT forensics and restoration$640,000

Illustrative example. Real outcomes depend on the facts and your policy terms.

How we work

From risk assessment to breach response

Four steps to a cyber program built for your business, including the security posture carriers now require.

Assess your cyber risk

We start with what you store, who connects to you and the controls you already have — data, systems and payments, your regulatory profile and vendor dependencies.

Match to cyber specialists

We go to carriers that specialize in cyber and technology risk, with industry-specific forms and competitive limits and sublimits across 50+ markets.

Structure and harden coverage

We set limits and sublimits by exposure, review ransomware and fraud sublimits, and help you meet required controls — MFA, backups, employee training — which qualify you for coverage and lower premium.

Breach response and claims

24/7 breach hotlines, pre-selected forensics and PR teams, claims advocacy from first notice, and annual coverage and control reviews.

Coverage descriptions are general summaries for education. They are not legal, tax or coverage advice, a statement of coverage, an offer or a binder. The coverage builder is a starting point for discussion, not a quote or coverage determination. Scenarios and dollar figures are illustrative examples, not representations about any business; cyber terms, sublimits and exclusions vary by policy and by the security controls in place. Coverage, limits and eligibility are governed by the terms, conditions and exclusions of the policies issued and are subject to underwriting.
