Cyber security attacks are on the rise and dental practices are a tempting target for cyber criminals. Your patients expect you to safeguard their private medical and financial data. You can keep your practice protected with CDSPI Cyber Insurance.

There is significant financial and reputational risk in losing your patients’ private financial and medical data. As a regulated profession, dentists can also face regulatory fallout because of a cyber breach. CDSPI Cyber Insurance is an indispensable tool to help you deal with the fallout of a cyberattack.

Cybersecurity encompasses a set of technologies and network interface processes, as well as business practices, designed to safeguard your practice's network, programs, computers, and data against cyber-attacks. An integral aspect of your practice's security is staff training, recognizing that the most prevalent and straightforward method for malicious actors to gain access to systems often stems from employee oversight or carelessness.

The cyber insurance policies offered through this program are underwritten by Beazley Canada Limited and exclusively distributed by BFL CANADA Risk and Insurance Services Inc.

What is Cyber Insurance?

CDSPI Cyber Insurance is a comprehensive package of insurance coverages and support services designed specifically to support dental practice owners before, during, and after a cyber security incident.

Cyber Insurance is a product that enables businesses to mitigate the cost of cyber-crime activity like cyberattacks and data breaches. It protects organizations from the cost of internet-based threats affecting IT infrastructure, information governance, and information policy, which often are not covered by commercial liability policies and traditional insurance products.

Cyber Insurance covers the losses a practice may suffer because of a cyberattack. CDSPI Cyber Insurance coverage includes protection against the loss of sensitive information through a data breach after your practice has permitted or failed to stop unsanctioned user access to your network. Cyber insurance may also reimburse you for losses including business interruption, notification costs, litigation costs, regulatory fines and penalties.

Cyber Insurance protects your practice from financial losses and liabilities associated with cyber-related risks and data breaches.
