FAQs
Common Questions from Healthcare & Medical Businesses
Are HIPAA fines covered by cyber liability insurance?
Some cyber liability policies include coverage for regulatory fines and penalties — including HIPAA — but this varies by carrier and policy. We help you find policies that include regulatory coverage.
What happens if patient records are ransomed?
Cyber liability typically covers ransom payments, forensic investigation, patient notification, credit monitoring for affected patients, and business interruption losses from a ransomware event.
Isn't cybersecurity a technology issue, not an insurance issue?
Technology tools like firewalls and antivirus software reduce the risk of incidents, but they can't prevent all breaches or undo the financial damage after one occurs. Cyber liability insurance addresses the financial consequences that technology alone can't mitigate.
What is the difference between first-party and third-party cyber coverage?
First-party coverage pays for your own direct losses — ransom payments, system recovery, business interruption, and notification costs. Third-party coverage pays for claims made against your business by clients, partners, or regulators who were harmed by a breach of your systems.
