Quality documentation and forensic analysis is the cornerstone to effectuate a positive result on a cyber claim. Most cyber risk policies include coverage for business interruption or loss of income and extra expenses associated with a breach, which typically can make-up some of the more significant costs. When a cyber business interruption loss occurs, it is the responsibility of the risk manager or policyholder to lead the development and presentation of losses caused by the event. Immediately after a loss, significant attention, leadership and data analysis are required to fully document a claim.
Keep in mind that a complex loss will be evaluated for insurance purposes or for a general audit, therefore it is essential to quickly establish a claim validation and presentation process to capture and document all loss-related costs.
