It takes one click to put a business at risk.
Cyber insurance for South African businesses that need practical protection against hacking, ransomware, funds transfer events, business interruption, and third-party liability.
Why could your business be a target?
Cybercriminals do not only target large corporates. Smaller businesses are often easier targets because their controls, processes, and recovery capability are typically lighter.
Even with strong security, incidents still happen through human error, misplaced devices, accidental exposure, supplier access, and business email compromise.
Cyber risk is operational risk now
The product page content you provided is built around local business exposure: ransom demands, data compromise, service interruption, and liability that can move downstream into client and supplier relationships.

- Theft of funds following third-party breach events or fraudulent payment instructions, subject to verification process.
- Physical damage caused by a system security incident where traditional policies may not respond.
- Payment card industry fines, penalties, assessments, chargebacks, reimbursements, and fraud recoveries linked to PCI-DSS breach events.
Third-Party Cover
- Privacy breach liability defence and settlement for claims arising from compromised information.
