Protection against cyber risks and data breaches

As electronic information and technology in health care continues to advance, so does our defense against cyber threats. COPIC provides an increased level of security through embedded cyber liability coverage in eligible policies. We also offer the ability to increase your limits for added protection against potential risks.

Health care is often a target for cyber crimes because of the sensitive information collected—Social Security numbers, dates of birth, and billing records. If a physician, medical practice, or facility experiences a privacy or security breach that involves confidential data, there can be substantial financial and reputational costs. COPIC's cyber liability coverage provides comprehensive protection in areas that are often targeted as well as resources designed to help prevent breaches and other cyber issues. This protection includes expert guidance to walk you through all the necessary steps in event you experience a data breach including patient notification, credit monitoring, investigation costs, and regulatory defense expenses. COPIC also allows you to increase the limits of liability within your existing coverage, a flexible option without the hassle of having to add a separate policy.  

To report a data breach/cyber liability incident, please call an occurrence specialist. You can also "Click to Report" to initiate a report through our Service Center.
