Surety Bond Insurance in Brighton
Standard cyber policies pay claims; Cyber NOW pays attention. The product is built around a 24/7 incident response panel that you call within the first hour of a suspected attack, rather than a claim form you submit later. Forensic IT, breach counsel, regulator notification and PR all run from the same panel, which keeps the response coordinated and the loss adjusters out of the critical path. For Brighton SMEs—where ransomware and business-email-compromise are the dominant threats—the speed of containment usually matters more than the indemnity limit on paper.

Frequently asked questions
- What is a surety bond?
- A surety bond is a three-party agreement where the insurer guarantees to the beneficiary (e.g. a client) that the principal (your business) will fulfil contractual obligations. If you default, the bond pays out.
- How is a bond different from a bank guarantee?
- Unlike bank guarantees, surety bonds don't tie up your banking facilities or require cash deposits. They preserve your working capital and borrowing capacity while meeting contractual security requirements.
- What information do I need to obtain a bond?
- Insurers typically need your latest accounts, details of the contract, the bond wording required and information about your track record. We help prepare submissions to secure the best terms.
