Cyber Risk and Insurance for Charities

Cyber insurance can help a charity recover from an attack – but only if the policy fits, the proposal form is answered accurately and the charity knows how to use it. This course explains what cyber insurance covers and excludes, what insurers ask and why, how to present your risk fairly, and how to make a claim, so leaders and trustees can make informed decisions.

Who this course is for: Chief executives, finance and operations managers, trustees (especially treasurers and audit and risk committee members) and anyone responsible for charity insurance. No technical knowledge needed.
