Cyber Insurance for Scout Groups

Cyber Insurance for Scouts

Does your Scout group need insurance against cybercrime?

Ask yourself, does your group:

  • Hold sensitive member data electronically, such as names, addresses or banking information?
  • Rely on IT systems and websites to operate?
  • Have a website?
  • Use email or social media?
  • Accept payments online or by card?

If the answer to any of these is yes, we advise protecting your group with a cyber insurance policy.

What does cyber insurance provide? 

Cyber liability insurance, or data protection insurance, can safeguard and make sure your organisation is protected against cybercrime.  As well as paying for losses you may suffer from cybercrime, it can pay and provide expertise to get you operating online quickly.
It can include risks such as fraud, data theft and social engineering, where criminals attempt to fool you into parting with your funds, information or both. 
It can also cover data breaches where sensitive information is accidentally shared with an unknown party.

  • Breach costs can offer practical support in the event of a data breach or GDPR non-compliance claims, including forensic investigations, legal advice and notifying customers or regulators.

  • The costs of repair, restoration or replacement if a hacker causes damage to your websites, programs or electronic data.
  • Ransoms paid for cyber extortion, if a hacker tries to hold your organisation to ransom, as well as the services of a risk consultancy firm to help manage the situation.

What Does Cyber Insurance Actually Do?

  • It’s cover against hackers stealing data and demanding a ransom not to release it.
  • It’s cover against the fines and penalties that organisations will incur if they are assessed as non-compliant on data protection or privacy.
  • It’s cover against viruses that paralyse systems – and cover for the income lost while they are being restored.
  • And cover against the accidental loss of data – followed by legal action by customers.

What about Cyber Crime?

Financial cybercrime is covered on most cyber policies via an optional extension.

An extension, called e-Theft, can provide cover to organisations whose bank accounts are targeted by criminals by hacking or phishing.

Phishing," which is sometimes called "social engineering," is a sneaky trick used by cybercriminals. It happens when these criminals send fake emails that look like they're from people you trust, such as your employees, bosses, customers, or suppliers. These emails are pretending to be from them, but they're not.

The goal of these fake emails is to fool businesses into sending money to the criminals. It's like a digital scam where they pretend to be someone you know, and they try to trick you into giving them your money.
