Chubb announced on Tuesday that its Integrity+ product is now available in Canada to help protect companies from errors and omissions (E&O) liability customer lawsuits alleging that their products or services caused privacy violations, intellectual property infringements or other financial injuries, including cyberattacks on their own systems, networks or data.
Integrity+ is designed for the unique risks faced by companies in the technology, life science, advanced manufacturing, healthcare information technology, clean tech and process control/integration industries, Chubb said in a press release. Integrity + is available on a claims-made or claims-made and reported policy in Canada; it is also available in the United States.
The product incorporates protection for destructive programming, cyber liability and first party expenses, and intellectual property/disclosure and reputation disparagement, along with E&O liability insurance, Chubb explained in the release. Customers can choose any combination of the following “state-of-the-art” insurance coverages, as well as options for various policy deductibles and limits:
Integrity+ also includes first party cyber insurance protection for expenses incurred in connection with a privacy data breach, such as the costs for privacy notification, forensics, remediation and crisis management, and investigation and defence of regulatory actions. These additional first party coverages are included in a basket limit of insurance up to $500,000, which offers flexibility at the time of loss to apportion insurance dollars where they are needed most. Additional limits are also available, Chubb added in the release.
