Key Differences in Cyber Insurance

Scale of the Buyer Each Firm Addresses

Marsh's Cyber ECHO facility can arrange more than $200 million in excess cyber capacity per client, with a free first reinstatement and a paid second reinstatement for separate events in a policy year.

Marsh says its Cyber ECHO excess facility can provide over $200 million of cyber capacity per client, with a free first reinstatement and a paid second reinstatement for separate cyber events within a policy year. 6Company-reported. Cyber ECHO facility page; describes excess capacity Marsh can arrange, not a standard primary limit.

Mylo instead markets cyber insurance to businesses that take credit cards or store customer information generally, without describing excess-layer capacity, and cites its own figure that more than two-thirds of small businesses have experienced a cyberattack. 11

Advisor-Led Versus Self-Serve

Marsh and its middle-market subsidiary MMA both describe advisor-led placement, naming dedicated cyber brokerage leaders rather than an online quote tool. 5 8 Mylo's page instead describes online cyber insurance shopping where a small-business owner compares carrier options directly. 11

How Coverage Is Packaged

Mylo says cyber coverage can often be added directly to a Business Owner's Policy depending on the carrier, alongside general liability, commercial property and business interruption. 11 Marsh's MMA page instead lists cyber as a standalone set of coverages — incident response, network interruption, extortion and ransomware, data restoration, security and privacy liability — without describing a BOP bundle. 8

What to Confirm in Cyber Insurance Quotes

  • If you need more than standard market capacity, ask whether Marsh's Cyber ECHO facility applies to your size of client, since the $200 million figure describes excess capacity specifically. 6
  • Ask Mylo which carriers it compared for your quote and whether cyber would come bundled into a BOP or sold standalone. 11
  • Get the issuing insurer from both; Marsh does not name one for a standard placement, and Mylo's page does not either. 6 11
  • Confirm published limits and retentions from Mylo directly, since its page does not disclose them. 11
