Hurricane Isaias:
If you were impacted by the storm, here's
key recovery considerations for the days and weeks ahead
Get affordable, extensive coverage in the event that personal and private information your organization stores on computers is compromised or stolen.
Are you a new or current customer with a question about Church Mutual or a specific coverage type? We're here to help.
As a leader of an organization, you may have files full of confidential papers or a computer folder that houses credit card numbers or other personal information. Unfortunately, it is becoming all too common for hackers to retrieve information through computer systems or for files to end up in the wrong hands.
Church Mutual has recognized the need to protect our customers from potential data breaches and has the relevant coverage available to protect your most important assets. We offer affordable, extensive cyber liability coverage in the event your organizations' personal and private information is compromised or stolen.
A data breach isn't always a disaster. Mishandling it is. When your organization suffers a data breach, our first concern is to handle the breach in a way that upholds your confidence. Our data breach insurance focuses first and foremost on response and has a dedicated business unit that focuses exclusively on helping you manage data breaches effectively.
The Breach Response Services team focuses on coordination of expert forensic, legal, notification and credit monitoring services that you need to satisfy data and privacy legal requirements and reassure your organization. In addition, the policy covers certain losses arising from a regulatory proceeding, the risk of which may be reduced by a well-coordinated breach response but can never be completely eliminated. Besides coordinating data breach response, Breach Response Services is responsible for maintaining and developing a suite of risk management services, designed to minimize the risk of a data breach occurring.
Take a look at the following examples to learn why everyone should have appropriate coverage.
A pastor's laptop containing members' private financial information was stolen from his home. As a result, members sued the church for damages resulting from alleged failure to protect their private financial information.
A conference center's computer system was compromised when a third party sent a malware program via email to a number of employees. The invasive software allowed the third party to access the system and capture the names, addresses and credit card numbers of more than 500 guests.
A private school secretary stole a donor's credit card information, resulting in a forensic investigation, a lawsuit and a Payment Card Industry (PCI) fine. The total cost of investigation, fine and settlement approached $50,000.
A staff member at an assisted living facility commented on a resident's health matter on a social media site. The HIPAA violation and resulting legal expenses exceeded $250,000.
An online religious bookstore had its transaction processing system hacked. Thieves collected credit card data over the course of one year before the Secret Service notified the retailer's manager. A credit card company issued thousands of dollars of PCI-related contractual fines and penalties to the payment processor who, in turn, contractually passed the obligation to the bookstore.
A lockbox containing employee and direct deposit information was stolen from the main office. As a result, current and former employees' personally identifiable information including social security numbers was taken. Legal obligations may include notifications and credit monitoring for current and former employees.
