Offered by CPP’s managing general agent business CPP Secure and underwritten at Lloyd’s, the new plan uses simple language in all its documentation so that the SMEs and brokers could better understand the policy wordings, the company said.
To help the SMEs deal with threat of cyber risk, the insurer offers access to a helpline round the clock, cloud-hosted backup storage, free antivirus software, as well as specialist IT forensic support.
It is the first product rolled out by the Leeds-based insurtech since its foray into the insurance broker business.
Commenting on the launch of new product, CPP Group UK managing director Michael Whitfield said: “More than half of malware attack victims are small businesses, and the consequences and costs which arise from these attacks are almost always very damaging, sometimes to a fatal extent.
