Results displayed above reflect average CRC Group Cyber renewal pricing changes by month (over the previous 13 months). Results are limited to brokerage accounts that renewed in the same month as the prior year with the same total account limits. To remove outliers, the top and bottom 1% of accounts by YoY % change have been removed, as well as the top and bottom 1% of accounts by rate on line (Premium/Limit*100). The REDY Index is intended for educational purposes only as individual accounts typically differ from average pricing trends.

CYBER EMERGING ISSUES

Acceptable cybersecurity measures include a backup solution (disconnected or segregated from your network), next-generation anti-virus protection with endpoint detection & response, email filtering solutions, multi-factor authentication for remote network access.
  • Difficult cyber classes include healthcare, real estate, collection agents, title/escrow, municipalities, schools, and any risk with a high number of PII or PHI records.
  • Watch out for ransomware (extortion) sublimits including co-insurance, social engineering callback requirements, cybercrime that excludes third-party funds (escrowed), short periods of restoration, or indemnity from business income and/or reputational harm related losses
