A recent insurance study shows that four out of 10 midsized businesses have experienced a breach in the past three years with many firms increasingly viewing cyber as a major risk. Small businesses are also exposed to data breaches: According to the National Small Business Association, 44% of respondents to a survey last year had been victims of at least one cyber attack. Moreover, data breaches affect all industry segments – from healthcare to technology, food, real estate, retail, etc. Exposures exist not only from attacks on a firm’s own IT systems but also from those involving a supplier or vendor.Capital Insurance Group offers cyber liability insurance coverage tailored to your business operation and the industry in which you serve. Policies and coverage sub-limits vary widely from one insurance company. Therefore, it’s important to work with professionals experienced in this area.
D&O Coverage
Directors and officers today have an extensive range of emerging and connected risk exposures to consider while also facing increased scrutiny. Investors, employees and regulators among others are closely looking at the decisions directors and officers make and the impact they have on the business. Cyber security, for example, has become a potential big risk for management, particularly if data breaches lead to big losses. Allegations of employment practices violations is another issue resulting in claims filed against management. Litigation in the face of a merger or acquisition (M&A) also continues to be a significant D&O exposure.Directors & Officers (D&O) Liability insurance from Capital Insurance Group will help you address and transfer these risks, providing coverage for corporate and individual assets.

EPL Insurance
The employment practices landscape over the last several years has become somewhat of a minefield for employers. You have agencies such as the EEOC adopting proactive strategies to stem potential discriminatory and other workplace practices. There is ambiguity when it comes to certain issues causing confusion for businesses, such as the implementation of employee wellness programs and how these square with the Affordable Care Act and the Americans with Disability Act (ADA). There are state and federal laws that cover employee background checks and under what circumstances they can be conducted requiring special attention. These are just a few of the complex issues facing today’s employers. Even with policies and procedures in place, a firm can easily find itself facing an employment-related lawsuit.
E&O Insurance
Professionals across a broad spectrum of industries are relied upon for their experience, expertise and ability to deliver. Whether you’re an attorney working on a company merger, an architect designing a home or an accountant managing your client’s wealth, there is a standard of care that must be met. Yet things still can go wrong, even for those firms with strong best practices in place. The result can be costly when allegations are made claiming financial damages due to an error, omission or negligence as a result of the professional services you provide.That’s when Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance steps in. Also known as Professional Liability, E&O coverage is designed to protect a company and its practitioners from devastating expenses as result of litigation, settlements and damage awards. Without E&O insurance, you could be looking at having to pay significant expenses on your own – even if the allegations made against you are meritless.
Fiduciary Liability Insurance
If your organization handles employee funds through savings or retirement plans and employee benefit plans of all designs, you should be carrying fiduciary liability insurance. Either the benefits plan or the employer that sponsors it can be insured. Fiduciary liability coverage protects against claims that money or benefits have been mishandled to the detriment of the complainant.Accusations of misconduct may involve an error or negligence in administering a plan. Some claims allege misinterpretation of plan documents, while others allege plan participants were provided poor investment options. Misrepresentation of investments and mishandled enrollment or other paperwork can also lead to claims, and participants can file for recompense if they feel they’ve received bad advice or faulty instructions. Claims also arise when plans are terminated as a result of company mergers and in the process possible reduction in pension benefits have occurred.
