Association of British Insurers Steps Up Call for Access to ICO Cyber Breach Data
"One of the most significant issues with cyber insurance pricing and underwriting is the lack of robust data on cyber risk. Unlike colleagues in the property insurance sector who can rely on hundreds of years of claims experience, cyber underwriters do not have such a wealth of information.
"Progress in delivering this access with the ICO has not been as swift as we would have liked... ultimately a healthier cyber insurance market is good for businesses, good for the economy and, most importantly, good for all of us as customers of businesses dealing with ever increasing amounts of our data.
"Our ask is for a refocussing of minds and a redoubling of effort to get a meaningful sharing of the ICO's data over the line."
"There have been proposals from various stakeholders to impose product standardisation in the cyber insurance market. In our view, these must be firmly resisted.
"Cyber risk is constantly changing and evolving. As a consequence, insurers need to frequently adapt and change their policy wordings, question sets, and underwriting approaches in order to ensure that they are best serving their customers while managing their exposures prudently in line with their regulatory responsibilities.
"It is misguided... to attempt to impose standards on the cyber insurance market, especially one that is in its relative infancy and one that needs flexibility to respond to an ever-changing cyber risk landscape."
