Introducing Enhanced Business Recovery

Business interruption (BI) is where the impact of a cyber attack can get painfully real. Work screeches to a halt. Orders go unfulfilled. Services are undelivered. Most importantly, revenue stops.

BI quantum is one of the few areas of cyber claims where the methodology itself can introduce delays. Two competent forensic accountants can take months to converge on a number. Not because either is acting in bad faith, but because multiple measurements create complexity.

For brokers, this is where the strength of a client relationship is truly tested. After all, you’re the one fielding the calls from a panicked CFO who’s watching their reserves dwindle while the clock ticks and payday is Friday. Your clients expect their policies to perform, but the experience can be complicated by the inherently detailed nature of traditional claims processes.

We believe cyber insurance should be a tailwind to your clients’ recovery. That’s why we’ve introduced Enhanced Business Recovery, a new suite of endorsements designed to protect revenue, speed up settlements, and keep businesses alive while claims are processed.

By focusing on speed, clarity, and cashflow support, Enhanced Business Recovery aligns policy performance with the actual speed of modern risk. 

Speed, Clarity, and Cashflow When Every Second Counts

A key system failure, supplier outage, or third‑party platform incident can upend any business at a moment’s notice, even for those that have done all the right things.

Enhanced Business Recovery is a suite of four BI endorsements that can be added to Active Cyber Policies in the US and Canada (excluding Quebec):

• Key Customer Coverage protects revenue streams when a critical customer goes down.

• Rapid Review streamlines BI measurement so parties reach an agreed-upon number faster.

• Cashflow Lifeline provides a discretionary early cash advance for small businesses.

• Reduced Waiting Period for MDR shortens the standard BI waiting period.

In total, these endorsements work together toward a unified goal of helping ensure that your clients are still in business by the time a claim is fully resolved.

Key Customer Coverage

A business’ cyber risk is rarely theirs alone in an interconnected digital economy. Our Key Customer Coverage endorsement helps replace a lost profit if a policyholder’s key customer is impacted by a covered security failure that forces them to cancel contracts or reduce purchase orders.

Consider the ripple effect seen in the Jaguar Land Rover incident in September 2025. If a major manufacturer’s production line halts, every specialized supplier in their orbit can see their purchase orders vanish. This new endorsement helps protect the income that drives your client's business, even when the attack happens elsewhere.

Rapid Review

Business interruption claims can stall when multiple parties retain separate experts to evaluate the financial loss. Our Rapid Review endorsement allows policyholders to elect a single pre‑approved forensic accountant from our panel at the time of a claim to measure the BI loss and prepare the proof of loss.

By agreeing on the arbiter upfront, this new endorsement aligns the BI measurement process at the start. This allows you to provide your client with a clearer timeline for settlement and streamline the proof-of-loss process.

Cashflow Lifeline 

For many businesses, the biggest threat following an attack is not the threat actor, but a lack of liquidity. Payroll and vendor obligations do not pause just because a payment system is offline. Our Cashflow Lifeline endorsement provides an early, discretionary cash advance to qualifying small businesses to help them stabilize critical operations while the full BI loss is measured and processed.

Imagine a client in manufacturing that’s experienced a ransomware attack. The business has now missed two weeks of production, but still has payroll due Friday. This endorsement provides a lifeline to your clients that can be the difference between a successful recovery and a permanent business closure.

Reduced Waiting Period for MDR 

We know first-hand that top-tier managed detection and response (MDR) services catch threats before they become catastrophes. To reward policyholders that prioritize prevention, our Reduced Waiting Period for MDR endorsement shortens the standard BI waiting period when a policyholder uses a qualifying MDR service (including Wirespeed Automated Detection & Response), so coverage kicks in faster after a covered event.

This endorsement gives you a powerful lever to encourage better security posture. You can show your clients the benefits of proactively investing in better security solutions.

A New Standard for Business Recovery

In times of crisis, the value of a cyber insurance policy can be measured by what happens the moment the revenue stops. When every hour of downtime carries a direct cost to a company’s future, it’s more important than ever for the industry to support a timely recovery.

Enhanced Business Recovery transforms the claims experience into a coordinated path forward by helping to remove the traditional friction points of business interruption. This new suite of endorsements can give you the confidence to tell your clients that when their cash flow is at risk, their policy is built to move fast.

The future of cyber insurance is about more than just what’s on the page. It's about how fast your clients get back to business as usual.
