Total Cost of Risk

Your Total Cost of Risk Impact Report quantifies your hidden risk management costs, separates risk financing and administrative costs from insurance losses, and identifies opportunities for cost savings.

Cyber Risk Analysis

We’ll analyze your operational exposures and business interruption risk from a security breach. To understand and evaluate the impact of all exposures, we follow these steps:

  • Operations Review

    Risk-mapping workshop to understand your operations.

  • Website Review

    Analyze media and data exposures through website content and functionality, data collection, online bill presentment and payment, links and other online features.

  • Contract and Service Agreement Reviews

    Assess information security risks in service provider and customer contracts; develop guidelines to define duties, prevent and respond to breaches; and ensure conformance with required coverage/limits.

  • Level Review of Regulatory Requirements

    Identify regulatory concerns that may arise from compromised data and systems. Since we do not act as legal advisors, we encourage involvement from your in-house and outside legal counsel.

  • Exposure Analysis Report/Detailed Summary of Exposure

    Our exposure summary report includes professional services/third parties, information security risks, first-party exposures, and intellectual property risks.

  • Insurance Program Gap Analysis
