Beazley Adds SME Cyber Product to E-Trading Broker Platform

IJ - March 12, 2020 - Beazley has made its flagship cyber product, Beazley Breach Response (BBR), available to brokers of small and medium-sized business through the myBeazley platform in the U.S., speeding up the time required to obtain a bindable BBR quote.

The platform has been designed to meet the needs of brokers bringing small and medium-sized business accounts with revenues of less than $100 million to Beazley. Once quoted, brokers can access accounts, update information and bind policies.

myBeazley simplifies the process by paring to the minimum the questions in the online form required to obtain a quote. The form has 13 fields but six of these will normally be prefilled automatically. The system will also clear and reserve the risk for the broker.

In addition, the platform takes the answers keyed in by the broker about the client and generates a pre-filled application which the client can sign and date.

First launched in 2009, Beazley Breach Response has evolved to keep pace with the rapid evolution of cyber risk. The policy provides access to BBR Services, Beazley’s in-house team of breach response experts who have helped clients respond successfully to more than 15,000 cyber attacks and incidents.
