To remove outliers, the top and bottom 1% of accounts by YoY % change have been removed, as well as the top and bottom 1% of accounts by rate online (Premium/Limit*100). The REDY Index is intended for educational purposes only as individual accounts typically differ from average pricing trends.

CYBER EMERGING ISSUES

  • Underwriters are requiring a completed Ransomware application and fully implemented cybersecurity measures before binding new and renewal accounts. Acceptable cybersecurity measures include a backup solution (disconnected or segregated from your network), next-generation anti-virus protection with endpoint detection & response, email filtering solutions, multi-factor authentication for remote network access.
  • Difficult cyber classes include healthcare, real estate, collection agents, title/escrow, municipalities, schools, and any risk with a high number of PII or PHI records.
  • Watch out for ransomware (extortion) sublimits including co-insurance, social engineering callback requirements, cybercrime that excludes third-party funds (escrowed), short periods of restoration, or indemnity from business income and/or reputational harm related losses.
