Description

Since the last gathering of the Cyber Insurance Working Group, the members divided into Sub Groups to look at specific areas of the user journey, when accessing the new Guidelines. At this meeting, the members of the Sub Groups will feed back to the Main Group on their thoughts and recommendations with views on how the Guidelines / E-Platform should start to take shape.

This unique and enormously valuable Focus Group is helping to create a Standard, used by the Police to advise SME businesses on the best approach to Cyber Insurance, but also create an opportunity for participants to build a valuable relationship with the Police who interface with thousands of businesses through the UK.

In addition, the Police are considering the possible “endorsement” or “accreditation” of those firms who in the Group.

The overriding mission of the focused cross Market Working Group is to ensure that SMEs are given some initial guidance by the Police, allowing the company to make some initial decisions about the purchase of Cyber Insurance, as well as have access to a number of trusted providers who can offer them cyber insurance that is appropriate for their level of risk.

Overall, this is about raising the level of awareness of cyber insurance amongst the SME community, specifically via the Police, who engage with businesses extensively throughout the year. In London, The Police Digital Security Centre have embarked on a huge project in conjunction with the London Mayor’s Office and this has meant that they are in communication with thousands of businesses soon.

Speakers

LMForums and the Police see this Working Group as an important panel of experts who can also advise on new insurance products and coverage coming onto the market and also help them understand whether these covers/products are fit for purpose. The Police believe that this virtual group would offer an invaluable service to SMEs in the UK. As such we will not be listing the speakers but will be working to give coverage to all the parties in the working group.
