Alliance Risk vs Newfront: How Do They Compare for Cyber Insurance?

Alliance Risk's cyber page says most small businesses buy $1 million per-occurrence and $1 million aggregate limits with roughly $2,500 deductibles, and it publishes a recommended-limit table by business profile, ranging from $500,000-$1 million for sole proprietors to $5 million or more for healthcare and finance companies. These are general guidance, not a quoted limit for a specific business. ¹Company-reported. Cyber product page, How Much Cyber Insurance Do You Need? section.
