The Cyber Coverage Gap

Your GL covers bodily injury and property damage. Your E&O covers professional errors. Neither covers what happens when your business gets hit by a cyberattack.

Ransomware

Recovery costs, business interruption, and extortion payments — all out of pocket without cyber coverage.

Privacy Breach

Notification obligations, regulatory fines, and legal defense. GL and E&O don't cover privacy violations.

Social Engineering

Business email compromise costs Canadian businesses millions. Traditional policies severely limit this.

Business Interruption

When systems go down, revenue stops. No cyber coverage means no safety net for lost income.

AI Exclusions

Major carriers are adding AI exclusions. If your team uses ChatGPT or Copilot, you may have less coverage than you think.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CyberAgency Essential?

CyberAgency Essential is a standalone cyber insurance policy for Canadian SMBs. It covers ransomware, data breaches, privacy violations, business interruption, and social engineering fraud — the cyber exposures your GL, D&O, and E&O policies don't cover.

Does my business need standalone cyber insurance?

If your business handles client data, processes payments online, or relies on digital systems, you likely need standalone cyber coverage. GL and E&O policies cover bodily injury, property damage, and professional errors — but not ransomware, data breaches, or privacy violations.

How much does cyber insurance cost in Canada?

CyberAgency Essential starts at competitive monthly rates for comprehensive coverage up to $500,000 per incident. Pricing depends on your industry, revenue, data sensitivity, and security posture. Contact us for a personalized quote.

Does CyberAgency comply with Canadian privacy laws?

Yes. CyberAgency Essential covers PIPEDA breach notification costs, regulatory defense, and privacy liability. We understand Canadian federal and provincial privacy requirements and help you meet them.

What is AI Shield?

AI Shield is our core product for businesses using AI tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, or agentic workflows. It covers AI-specific risks like prompt injection, hallucination liability, and model extraction that traditional and even some cyber policies exclude. It sits alongside your existing coverage.

What does cyber insurance cover that GL doesn't?

Cyber insurance covers ransomware and extortion payments, data breach notification and forensics, privacy violation defense and regulatory fines, business interruption from cyber incidents, and social engineering fraud. GL policies exclude most of these exposures.
