When considering a Cyber Liability Limit, ask yourself:

How reliant are we on online systems, websites, email and cloud services?
Could we operate if our I.T systems were down and what would the subsequent financial loss be for business interruption?
How many customer and/or employee records do we store?
What type of data is stored and is it sensitive? (Examples include financial, personal and health)

When considering a Cyber Crime Limit, ask yourself:

What is our financial exposure to phishing, funds transfer and invoice manipulation?
What is our average and maximum transaction size? (Including both incoming and outgoing)
Are we financially resilient enough to remain in business if we suffered a Cyber Crime loss?
