Cyber NOW 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.
Key points

Frequently asked questions
- How does Cyber NOW differ from standard cyber insurance?
- Cyber NOW emphasises immediate incident response—getting expert help within hours, not days. It prioritises rapid containment, system recovery and business continuity alongside traditional indemnity benefits.
- What happens when I have a cyber incident?
- You call the 24/7 incident response hotline. A specialist team is mobilised immediately to contain the threat, assess the damage, manage data breach obligations and begin system restoration.
- Does it protect against ransomware attacks?
- Yes. Protection typically includes ransom negotiation, payment (where legal), system restoration and business interruption losses. The focus is on rapid response to minimise downtime and data loss.
- What security controls do insurers expect before binding cover?
- Multi-factor authentication on email and remote access, endpoint detection, regular off-network backups, and a documented patching cadence are the most common pre-conditions. Insurers may decline or void claims if controls were not in place at the time of the incident, so we capture an evidenced security profile at proposal stage.
