One of the most common and costly misunderstandings in business insurance is assuming that a general liability policy will respond to a cyberattack or data breach. In most cases, it will not.
General liability is built for physical risks: bodily injury and property damage to others. A data breach usually involves neither, so a general liability policy typically excludes or simply does not address the cost of breach response, ransomware, and cyber liability.
Cyber insurance is designed for the digital risks general liability leaves out: forensic investigation, data restoration, customer notification, and claims from people whose data was exposed. The two policies are complements, not substitutes.
Do not discover the gap at claim time. If you carry general liability but no cyber coverage, you likely have an exposure worth closing. Compare cyber insurance options or run a free policy checkup.
