What Cyber Insurance Requirements Apply in Kentucky?

Kentucky’s private-sector breach rule covers a defined set of unencrypted personal information when unauthorized acquisition causes, or reasonably appears likely to cause, identity theft or fraud against a Kentucky resident. If one incident requires notice to more than 1,000 people, you must also notify nationwide consumer reporting agencies and credit bureaus.

What Is Cyber Insurance?

Cyber insurance can help pay covered response costs and claims against your business after a cyber incident. If your business relies on data, software or outside providers, compare response limits, vendor outages and approval rules. Read the national Cyber liability guide.

What Should You Watch for With Cyber Insurance in Kentucky?

The Kentucky Trigger Is Tied to Identity Theft or Fraud
KRS 365.732 defines a covered breach as unauthorized acquisition of unencrypted, unredacted computerized data in a multi-person database that causes or is reasonably believed to cause identity theft or fraud against a Kentucky resident. Ask counsel and your incident team to assess that trigger against the affected data and evidence. ¹
Add Credit Agencies Above 1,000 People
When circumstances require notice to more than 1,000 people at one time, Kentucky requires notice without unreasonable delay to nationwide consumer reporting agencies and credit bureaus, including notice timing, distribution, and content. Build the extra coordination into the response plan. ^1,³
A Data Maintainer Must Alert the Owner
A holder that stores data it does not own must notify the owner or licensee as soon as reasonably practicable after discovery if the information was or is reasonably believed to have been acquired without authorization. Put that handoff deadline and the records the owner needs into vendor terms. ¹

Which Cyber Insurance Providers Have Kentucky License Records?

These providers publish a national listing for Cyber liability; the license records below name the licensed entities and roles. Some records rely on company-reported information rather than independent regulator verification. A national listing does not confirm the product is available in Kentucky. Check the regulator’s license lookup and confirm state availability for your business when requesting a quote.

Specialty Program Group LLC
TechInsurance’s current licensing page names Specialty Program Group LLC / SPG Insurance Solutions and lists state license numbers, but labels Rhode Island “Individual licenses” rather than identifying a license for the named agency. RI is omitted because this disclosure does not establish agency authority there; this is a search limitation, not an assertion that the company is unlicensed. The remaining state entries are company-reported and are not an insurance product availability map. ¹⁷

The page is company-reported and does not establish product availability. ¹⁸

Surplus-Lines Tax and Stamping Office in Kentucky

Reported tax rate. 3% on Kentucky-home-state premiums and other premium consideration; separate 1.8% surcharge on eligible risks located in Kentucky, subject to statutory exceptions; applicable local-government premium tax may also apply ^7,^10,^8,^9,¹¹

When Kentucky is the insured's home state, the state tax is 3% of premium and other consideration treated as premium; local-government premium taxes may also apply. A separate 1.8% surcharge generally applies to Kentucky risks, but state law exempts multistate nonadmitted risks and specified government and nonprofit premiums. The broker must make a diligent effort to place coverage with an admitted carrier before using surplus lines.
