Cyber and data risks

 Markel UK’s cyber and data risks cover has been specifically designed to protect against both liabilities and the policyholder’s own losses, including legal, IT security and regulatory costs.

Cyber threats can emerge from a cyber-attack, theft or loss of data, unauthorised system access, or the adverse consequences that arise from email, website and social media misuse, at any time.

WHY MARKEL?

  • Robust and transparent insurance solutions backed by unrivalled support services, such as tax and legal support
  • 5-star rating for Claims & Quality of Cover**
  • ‘A’-rated insurance company
