Cyber insurance put simply, is the protection of your digital assets. This could be data such as names of clients and other confidential information, systems and infrastructure such as machinery controlled by computers, electronic funds or even your online brand and its reputation. Cyber insurance is cover to protect you against the damage that can be done directly to your and your business and any third parties that could be affected if you were to suffer a systems breach.

At Forum Insurance we know that if we look after our clients, our clients will look after us. With over 30 years of experience we ensure our clients have the correct covers tailored to protect themselves and their business. We use our extensive access to the wider insurance market to find the best cover at the best price. We are pleased to see the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) announce that from January 2022 home and motor insurance policies renewals will be offered the same price as new customers. Sheldon Mills, Executive Director, Consumers and Competition at the FCA commented; “These measures will put an end to the very high prices paid by many loyal customers. Consumers can still benefit from shopping around or negotiating with their current provider – but won’t be charged more at renewal just for being an existing customer.” Click here to read the full press release. This is already a part of our renewal process; as we approach the insurance market and search for the best cover and price for each policy. This is one of our key reasons we have a 4.8 out of 5 star rating online . The new rule set by the FCA will improve genuine competition within the insurance market, as firms will no longer be able to offer below-cost prices to attract new customers. This predatory pricing practice harms consumers long term by increasing insurance premiums for everyone. We look forward to seeing the FCA’s next steps and welcome any changes that improve the insurance market for our clients. Want to experience how we put our clients first?
