Berkley Asset Protection Announces Partnership with Berkley Re Direct and IDT911™ to Provide Insureds with Data Breach and Identity Theft Assistance
Collaboration provides comprehensive breach, cyber coverage and services for museums and jewelry and fine art businesses
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Sept. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Berkley Asset Protection (BAP) is pleased to announce a new partnership with Berkley Re Direct and IDT911™, a leading provider of services which help businesses defend against data breaches and identity theft. Together, the services will help jewelry, art dealers and museums protect their customer base from the damage a breach can have on their reputation, time and bottom line.
Driven by increasing demand for solutions to protect against the growing numbers and types of cyber risks, BAP sought the ability to deliver appropriate coverage and services to high value asset coverage policyholders. Through IDT911 DataRiskStages™ services and Berkley Re Direct, BAP can now help policyholders significantly decrease the risk of a breach or mitigate the effects if a breach does happen.
"In today's digital age, businesses of all sizes are required to safeguard their customers' data and most states have notification laws in place requiring businesses to notify those affected," said Joseph LaRocca, Assistant Vice President. "Our new cyber related coverages and services give agents and policyholders assurance that they have experts available to offer guidance and help them recover if a breach occurs."
IDT911 DataRiskStages services help avoid and manage a breach through pre- and post-breach event education, prevention and remediation.
Pre-breach content includes everything from data protection tips and real breach scenarios, to easy-to-use calculators to assess breach vulnerability, data security weaknesses, and even third-party vendor risks. Access is available 24/7 via an individually branded site, so users can access planning guides, incident response templates, and current breach regulations anytime, anywhere.
Post-breach, the service delivers intuitive, easy-to-follow breach response guidance. DataRiskStages provides active user prompts on current breach status, with clear calls-to-action to begin the response process. If it has been determined a breach has occurred, users have resources for breach response support, notification compliance, and breach victim remediation services. Additionally, the platform provides commercial customers with intuitive post-breach response guidance designed to quickly connect an organization experiencing a breach with IDT911's leading team of data breach response and resolution advisors.
