Frequently Asked Questions
Do small Central Oregon businesses really need cyber insurance?
Yes. Small businesses are actually more frequently targeted by cybercriminals because they often have weaker security than large corporations. 60% of small businesses that suffer a significant cyberattack close within 6 months. The average cost of a small business data breach is $200,000+.
Doesn't my general liability policy cover cyber attacks?
No. Standard general liability and commercial property policies specifically exclude cyber losses. You need a dedicated cyber liability policy to be protected against data breaches, ransomware, and other cyber incidents.
How much does cyber liability insurance cost?
Cyber insurance for small Central Oregon businesses typically costs $500–$2,000 per year, depending on revenue, industry, data sensitivity, and security practices. Businesses with strong cybersecurity measures often qualify for lower rates.
What should I do if my business suffers a cyberattack?
First, contact your insurance carrier immediately — most cyber policies include 24/7 incident response hotlines. Then isolate affected systems, preserve evidence, and don't pay any ransom without consulting your insurer. Your policy's breach response team will guide you through the process.
