Coalition Introduces Risk Insurance for Small Business Executives

Let's assume you're an executive at a small MSP or MSSP. Even as you safeguard end-customer systems from cyberattacks, how can you reduce your own personal risk in the cyber market?

Coalition may have an answer. Indeed, the cyber insurance firm has Directors & Officers (D&O) and Employment Practices Liability (EPL) for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). The new offerings are expected to be generally available in 2022.

The executive risks products are backed by risk management and commercial insurance company Zurich North America. The offerings enable brokers to leverage financial, regulatory and transactional data to assess, mitigate and measure risk for SMBs, Coalition stated. From here, brokers can generate bindable P&O and EPL quotes.

Brokers also gain automated alerts about changes in control or other issues that can crop up after a P&O or EPL policy is enacted.
