The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) has launched a survey on access to cyber insurance by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to better understand the challenges small businesses face in protecting themselves against cyber risks and assess the level of access to cyber insurance.
Access to (cyber)insurance plays an important role in mitigating digitalization risks by absorbing shocks and managing risks associated with irregular and unpredictable income. Insurance can make SMEs more resilient to shocks, while making them financially stronger.
The survey will collect information on the size and type of business of the companies surveyed, the level of awareness of cyber risks in relation to their business, the availability, affordability and understanding of cyber insurance products.
It will also highlight SMEs’ experience and perceptions of cyber insurance, including whether they have considered taking out a policy, the factors that influenced their decision (not to) take out cover and potential barriers to taking out cover. access.
The survey is available in all 24 official EU languages and SMEs are invited to participate until March 20, 2024:
