Why this matters

Cyber insurers price what they can see

A cyber insurer cannot visit your office. It judges your business by the security controls you can document. When Versa manages your security and you follow its advice, you have more of the right answers, and Mid-State knows how to present them.

Lower risk of a cyber attack

Versa's expertise and security stack are built to stop the most common attacks and to limit the damage when something gets through.

Pricing that reflects your security

Businesses with strong, documented controls are generally viewed more favorably by cyber insurers. That makes lower premiums likely, and often broader coverage terms too.

Fewer surprises on the application

Cyber applications ask detailed technical questions. With Versa managing your security, the answers are accurate and ready.

One team that speaks both languages

Mid-State insures managed service providers and understands the technology. Versa understands your systems. You do not have to translate between them.

How it works

Four steps from better security to better coverage

  1. Follow Versa's security guidance

    Versa recommends and manages the security tools and practices that fit your business. The more of that guidance you put in place, the lower your exposure to an attack.

  2. Mid-State presents your security to insurers

    Cyber insurers price on the controls they can see. Mid-State knows what Versa has put in place for you and makes sure underwriters see it, so you are rated on your real risk.

  3. Compare your options online

    Use the Versa client quoting site to request cyber liability quotes. A Mid-State advisor is available to walk you through the coverage differences.

  4. Keep improving as you grow

    As your business changes, Versa adjusts your security and Mid-State adjusts your coverage, so the two stay in step.

The coverage

What cyber liability insurance can pay for

Good security lowers the odds of an attack. Insurance is for the day one succeeds anyway. A cyber liability policy can include:

Incident response

Forensic investigators, legal counsel and breach notification costs.

Ransomware and extortion

Negotiation, payment where lawful, and recovery expenses.

Business interruption

Lost income while your systems are down.

Data restoration

The cost to recover or recreate lost data.

Liability claims

Claims from customers or partners whose information was exposed.

Regulatory matters

Defense costs, and fines or penalties where insurable.

Coverage, limits and exclusions differ from one policy to the next. Your Mid-State advisor will explain what each quote includes.

About Mid-State and the GPS process

Plain talk

What we can and cannot promise

  • No security program can guarantee that an attack will never happen. Versa's work reduces your risk. It does not eliminate it.
  • Nothing on this page is a warranty or guarantee of security, coverage or price.
  • Insurers set premiums and decide whether to offer coverage, based on their own underwriting. Following Versa's security advice makes more competitive pricing very likely, but the result depends on your business, your claims history and the insurance market.
  • The benefit depends on you. Controls that are recommended but not put in place do not lower your risk or your premium.
