🛡️ Cyber Insurance for Small Businesses in Canada: A Must-Have, Not a Maybe.
Think cyber attacks only target large corporations? Think again. In Canada, small businesses are increasingly in the crosshairs of cybercriminals—and many remain dangerously underprepared.
💻 Why Are Small Businesses at Risk?
• Limited cybersecurity infrastructure.
• Dependence on cloud services and remote work.
• Access to valuable customer and payment data.
• Perceived as “easy targets” by cybercriminals.
📊 The Reality
• 1 in 5 Canadian small businesses has experienced a cyber attack.
• Data breaches can cost tens of thousands of dollars in recovery, legal fees, and lost revenue.
• Many standard business insurance policies exclude cyber incidents unless specifically endorsed.
✅ What Cyber Insurance Can Cover
• Data breach response, including forensics, legal support, and customer notification.
• Ransomware attacks and extortion demands.
• Business interruption losses due to cyber incidents.
• Legal liability from compromised data.
• Public relations and crisis communication services.
🧩 Why It Matters
Cyber protection goes beyond antivirus software. Cyber insurance is a critical component of a modern risk management strategy.
💡 Pro Tip: Review your policy with a broker who understands the unique cyber risks facing Canadian SMBs. Not all cyber coverage is created equal.
🔐 Don’t wait until a breach exposes your vulnerabilities. Be proactive. Be protected.
