ACE Group has launched a global cyber facility that, it said, incorporates a comprehensive risk management solution into a single policy purchase.

ACE said that its global cyber facility provides up to $100 million of primary capacity, incorporating integrated loss control services provided by cyber security experts, a proprietary application process designed to assess an organization's current risk profile, a specialized policy form, comprehensive claims management, and ongoing, detailed analysis to help organizations detect potential weaknesses that could give rise to future cyber attacks – all within a single policy purchase.

“Boards recognize that cyber insurance is a priority, but they also know that risk transfer isn't enough. Risk managers are asking for a comprehensive strategy that helps them assess their cyber and data privacy risk, incorporates appropriate loss control services to mitigate losses before they happen, provides access to post breach services to assist them in the event of a breach, and offers higher limits to meet their coverage needs,” said Toby Merrill, the division senior vice president of global cyber risk practice at ACE Group. “ACE is uniquely positioned to meet this need. We have handled data breach incidents for more than 15 years and were the first in the market to introduce both the data breach team and loss mitigation services, giving our insureds access to the expert resources they need to both mitigate risk before it happens and quickly respond to a breach when it occurs. We're excited to be able to use this expertise and leverage our relationships with globally recognized cyber defense organizations to once again lead the market in meeting the critical needs of organizations worldwide.”
