Recent statistics show that 60 percent of small and mid-size businesses experience a cyberattack at least once per year. Ransomware, AI-powered attacks, and phishing attempts continue to rise, increasing the likelihood that businesses in Central Ohio will face a cybersecurity threat. While cyberinsurance cannot prevent an attack, it can help your business recover quickly and reduce financial losses after a breach.

How Does Cyberinsurance Work?

Commercial cyber insurance is available in two main forms: first-party and third-party coverage. First-party coverage protects your business directly. It can help pay ransoms, cover the cost of repairing damaged IT systems, and provide business interruption compensation if an attack forces you to halt operations. It may also pay for forensic audits to determine how the breach occurred and what steps are needed to improve security.

Third-party cyber insurance covers legal expenses arising after a breach. This includes government fines, settlements with affected customers, and judgments against your business. It can also help with attorney fees and other legal costs associated with managing claims.

If you are concerned about reaching your policy limits, you can purchase umbrella cyber insurance. This type of policy provides additional liability protection once your primary cyber insurance coverage is exhausted, helping ensure that a costly cyberattack does not result in significant out-of-pocket expenses.

Construction companies operating in Central Ohio need more than general liability and workers’ compensation insurance to operate. While these types of policies are at the core of what is needed, many contractors need specialized policies to operate. Insuran LLC can help you select the appropriate commercial insurance lines for your business.

Commercial Insurance for Construction Companies

In addition to the general liability and workers’ compensation, construction companies should consider several other commercial lines. These include:

• Commercial property insurance
• Professional liability insurance
• Surety bonds
• Contractor license bonds
• Builder’s risk insurance
• Commercial auto insurance
• Equipment insurance
• Pollution liability

You can bundle some of these core commercial policies into a business owner’s policy (BOP). A BOP typically contains general liability, commercial property and business interruption protection. You can also include other types of protection, such as cyber insurance, through endorsements. Commercial auto policies, while essential, are usually issued as separate policies.

What is Wrap-Up Coverage?

Wrap-up coverage is similar to a BOP. Construction companies generally purchase it to cover projects worth millions of dollars or a string of smaller projects that add up. You can choose between Owner-Controlled Insurance Programs (OCIPs) and Contractor-Controlled Insurance Programs (CCIPs).

Why Construction Insurance Matters

Commercial policies are a vital safety net to protect those involved in the construction industry, including owners, contractors, tradespeople, developers, engineers and architects, from unexpected events that can occur during a project. Insurance gives you a financial safety net to rebound from losses, achieve longevity in your field, heighten your credibility, and is often required to bid on certain jobs. Selecting the right mix of policies can make a difference in your business’s future.
