Cyber Insurance for UK businesses
Cyber attacks don’t just hit “big companies”. A single ransomware incident, phishing scam, or data breach can shut systems down, interrupt trading, and trigger costly legal and regulatory work. Cyber insurance is designed to help your business recover quickly and cover the financial impact when digital incidents cause disruption, loss, or liability.
Typical cover can help with:
-
Business interruption (loss of income and extra costs after a cyber event)
-
Ransomware / cyber extortion events and the costs to get you back up and running
-
Data breach response (forensics, notification, specialist support and associated costs)
-
Cybercrime such as phishing-led attacks, DDoS, or compromised credentials (where insured)
-
Third-party liabilities (e.g., claims linked to privacy or security failures)
At Peacock Insurance, we help you compare options from the market and arrange cyber cover that fits how you operate—whether you’re a small firm, growing company, or rely heavily on email, customer data, online payments, or cloud systems.

Cyber insurance with support before and after an attack
Cyber insurance shouldn’t just step in after something goes wrong. We arrange cyber cover that’s built to support your business before an incident happens and after an attack, helping reduce the chance of a claim, limit disruption, and control financial fallout.
Support before a cyber incident
Many cyber policies now include access to preventative tools and specialist support designed to strengthen your cyber resilience and reduce exposure to common threats. Depending on the insurer and risk profile, this can include:
-
Cyber risk assessments to identify weaknesses in systems, processes, or user behaviour
-
Vulnerability scanning and monitoring to flag potential entry points for attackers
-
Security guidance and best-practice recommendations tailored to your business size and sector
-
Employee awareness support to reduce phishing, social engineering, and credential compromise
This proactive approach helps lower the likelihood of ransomware, data breaches, and email-based attacks—protecting both your operations and your insurance position.
Expert help during and after an attack
If a cyber incident does occur, cyber insurance gives you immediate access to specialist response teams who know how to contain damage fast. Cover is typically designed to activate as soon as an event is suspected, not weeks later.
Support can include:
-
24/7 incident response coordination
-
IT forensics and breach investigation
-
Ransomware and extortion response support
-
Legal and regulatory guidance, including data protection obligations
-
Customer and third-party notification support
-
Business interruption recovery, helping restore systems and minimise downtime
The focus is on getting your business trading again as quickly as possible while managing costs, reputational risk, and legal exposure.
Reducing disruption and financial loss
Cyber events often cause more damage through downtime and lost trust than the attack itself. By combining preventative support with fast, expert response, cyber insurance helps:
-
Limit the scale and duration of incidents
-
Reduce uninsured losses and unexpected costs
-
Protect cashflow following operational shutdowns
-
Manage third-party claims and regulatory scrutiny
