Security Privacy Protection

Security and Privacy Protection Policy

Protect your business from legal claims made due to compromised personal data.

Recent headlines tell the ongoing stories of data breaches like stolen personal information and compromised credit card data. Multiply this by thousands of records and the costs can be overwhelming. Zurich’s Security and Privacy Protection Policy offers coverage designed to respond to these risks. This is critical because while you can outsource processes, you can’t outsource liability.
