CFC vs Relm Insurance Cyber Insurance

CFC's flagship cyber product, Cyber Proactive Response, targets businesses with revenues from $0 to $250 million and pairs the policy with built-in security monitoring, incident response and claims handling rather than selling those as add-ons. ⁵Company-reported. Cyber insurance product page's Cyber Proactive Response summary; CFC separately sells Cyber (admitted), Corporate cyber for businesses at $250 million and up, and a Cyber excess policy.

Relm markets cyber liability insurance as a distinct line on the same page as its Technology Errors and Omissions product, explicitly noting the two are related but not the same coverage. ¹¹Company-reported. Relm line-of-business page (Relm sells through brokers); not a statement identifying the issuing insurer for a given placement. This record covers general cyber liability, distinct from Relm's separate generative-ai-liability offering record covering its NOVAAI, PONTAAI and RESCAAI AI-specific products.

The Cyber Proactive Response application form names only CFC Underwriting Limited, an entity authorized and regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority, as the party administering the form. Neither the cyber product page nor the application discloses which specific insurer or Lloyd's syndicate capacity sits behind a US Cyber Proactive Response policy. ^8,4Not publicly disclosed. Application footer and the regulatory information page, both checked on 2026-09-23; CFC also operates Lloyd's Syndicate 1988 and CFC USA Inc.'s admitted and E&S licenses, but no page ties one of these specifically to Cyber Proactive Response.

CFC segments cyber eligibility by revenue: Cyber Proactive Response and Cyber (admitted) are positioned for businesses with revenues from $0 to $250 million, while Corporate cyber is for businesses at $250 million and above. ⁵Company-reported.

Relm says cyber coverage addresses network security breaches, privacy breaches and extortion threats, including data breach response costs (notification, credit monitoring, PR), forensic investigation and legal defense, ransom payments and business interruption losses, data and asset recovery, and digital crime such as funds transfer fraud and invoice manipulation. ¹¹Company-reported. Cyber and Tech E&O page 'What is Cyber Insurance?' section; the issued policy and declarations control.

Relm distinguishes first-party cyber coverage (the insured's own losses) from third-party cyber liability (claims against the client resulting from a loss), saying third-party cyber typically covers legal fees, settlements and regulatory penalties. ¹¹Company-reported. Cyber and Tech E&O page 'First-Party Vs. Third-Party Cyber Liability Insurance' section.
