Cyber Tendering Process
If you suspect your organization has been the victim of a cybersecurity
incident or data breach, the first action item should be to put Lawyers’ Mutual
Insurance Company on notice in writing as soon as possible.
These steps will help ensure that you are not jeopardizing coverage for any
costs associated with the incident and that you are engaging experts vetted by
your carrier.
Do not pay any cyber ransom or extortion demand without prior authorization
from your cyber claims representative. Use caution when discussing the
incident. Limit discussions to a need-to-know basis, with communications
taking place over the phone or face-to-face rather than email. Avoid using the
term “breach” which can trigger legal obligations.Instead, call the event a
“security incident” or simply what it is, i.e. “a lost laptop.”
