Do Contractors Need Cyber Insurance?

Contractors often think of themselves as far from the world of cybercrime, but modern construction and trade businesses run on estimates, contracts, and payments that move digitally, and that is exactly where the risk lives.

Where contractors are exposed

Business email compromise is a leading threat: attackers hijack email around a project to redirect a client payment or a supplier invoice. Contractors also store client and employee data, and increasingly rely on connected devices and project software that can be attacked.

What coverage provides

Cyber insurance typically helps with funds lost to fraud where covered, breach response, and liability from exposed data. For a business where a single diverted payment can be large, that protection is meaningful.
