Protect your digital assets, reputation, and creative future.

In today’s fast paced entertainment industry, digital security is no longer a luxury, it’s a necessity. Whether you’re a production company, agency, freelancer, or studio, your work involves the use of technology. From cloud based editing and remote collaboration to digital distribution and marketing, every step of the creative process can be vulnerable to cyber threats.

Why Cyber Protection Matters

Cyber-attacks are on the rise and creatives are increasingly in the crosshairs. A single breach can potentially lead to:

Leaked footage or unreleased content
Ransomware locking down editing systems
Phishing scams targeting crew or talent
GDPR violations and regulatory fines
Legal claims from affected third parties

These incidents don’t just disrupt production, they can damage reputations, delay releases, and cost thousands. Our cyber liability cover can help you recover quickly, legally, and professionally.

What Our Cover Can Include

Our Cyber Liability Insurance can include:

First party cover: Protection for your own business, including data recovery, business interruption, crisis management, and ransom payments.
Third party cover: Legal defence and compensation if a breach affects clients, collaborators, or external partners.
Breach response: Immediate access to expert support for containment, investigation, and recovery.
Reputation management: PR and communications support to help protect your brand.
Regulatory compliance: Coverage for costs related to GDPR and other data protection laws.

Real-World Scenarios

Here’s how cyber liability insurance can make a difference:

A post-production house working on a major release is hacked. Footage leaks online, triggering lawsuits and lost revenue.
A freelance editor clicks a phishing link disguised as a client email. Malware spreads to collaborators, halting the project.
A production company’s cloud server is breached, exposing personal data of cast and crew. GDPR fines follow.

In each case, Cyber Liability cover helps you manage the fallout financially, legally, and reputationally.
