What Cyber Insurance Requirements Apply in Pennsylvania?

Since Pennsylvania Act 33 of 2024 took effect 90 days after June 28, 2024, a breach requiring notices to more than 500 people at once triggers nationwide consumer-reporting-agency notice. Certain exposed identity data also triggers access to a credit report and 12 months of credit monitoring; an insurance-data-security exemption applies only to the separate Attorney General filing.

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 Pennsylvania?

  • The Credit-Agency Threshold Is Now More Than 500

    Act 33 lowered the nationwide consumer-reporting-agency trigger from more than 1,000 to more than 500 persons notified at one time. Ask who tracks the Pennsylvania mailing count and when the agency notices go out; the act says this notice must not be unreasonably delayed. 1

  • Some Notices Must Offer Twelve Months of Monitoring

    If a business provides the required credit-agency notice and reasonably believes a person’s name was accessed with a Social Security number, bank account number, or driver’s license/State ID number, it must cover one independent credit report when the person is not otherwise eligible to get one free and 12 months of credit monitoring, or tell the person no-cost monitoring is available. Ask the response provider how it budgets these benefits; the statute does not establish that an insurance policy pays for them. 1

  • The Insurance Exception Covers Only the AG Filing

    When resident notice must go to more than 500 people, Pennsylvania generally requires a concurrent report to the Attorney General, but entities subject to the state Insurance Data Security Act are exempt from this subsection’s AG report. That exception does not remove the separate credit-agency trigger or conditional credit-report and monitoring duties; ask counsel to map the entity’s specific insurance-law status before relying on it. 1,2

  • Pennsylvania Also Lists Account Credentials and Health Data

    The amended definition includes health-insurance information and a username or email plus password or security question and answer for online-account access, alongside government identifiers and financial credentials. Ask the incident team to inventory these fields and the data holder before deciding whether Pennsylvania’s notice rules apply. 1,2

Which Cyber Insurance Providers Have Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania. Check the regulator’s license lookup and confirm state availability for your business when requesting a quote.

    Corgi’s company producer-license table lists 50 jurisdictions: 49 states and the District of Columbia, including DC license 3003091619. New Mexico does not appear in the table and is not included here; the omission does not establish that Corgi is unlicensed there.

    Hiscox Insurance Company Inc.

    Hiscox’s U.S. company information states that Hiscox Insurance Company Inc. is licensed in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. This is company-reported insurer authority for this entity and does not establish which company issues every Hiscox-branded product. 13

    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. 15

    Vouch Specialty Insurance Services, LLC

    Vouch’s licenses page, effective January 16, 2025, lists producer licenses in all 50 states and DC. Its separate surplus-lines table includes Idaho number 870820, while a footnote says Georgia and Idaho do not issue agency-level surplus-lines licenses. Because those statements conflict for Idaho, this record keeps Idaho producer-only and does not treat the table number as established agency surplus-lines authority. The page is company-reported and does not establish product availability. 16

Who Regulates Insurance in Pennsylvania?

Pennsylvania Insurance Department

The Pennsylvania Insurance Department publishes state tools to check licensed producers, agencies, and insurers, and its Consumer Services Online portal accepts complaints about insurers, agents, brokers, and public adjusters. The department also oversees Pennsylvania insurance business and consumer services. 3,4,5

Surplus-Lines Tax and Stamping Office in Pennsylvania

Reported tax rate. 3% of gross premium (2% for eligible surplus-lines risk retention groups) 6,7,8,9

Pennsylvania charges 3% of gross surplus-lines premiums (2% for an eligible surplus-lines risk-retention group); the tax is in addition to premium, is borne by the insured, and is collected by the producer. For multistate risks, the 2025 Revenue instructions say all gross premiums are taxable when Pennsylvania is the home state, while Insurance Company Law §1621(d) says tax is levied only on premium reasonably ascribable to Pennsylvania risk; confirm allocation with your producer or the state. Surplus-lines coverage is excluded from the guaranty association, and qualifying large risks or exempt commercial purchasers may use distinct no-search routes, with the ECP route requiring disclosure and written request.

What Should You Ask Before Buying Cyber Insurance in Pennsylvania?

  1. Will our response plan count Pennsylvania notices against the more-than-500 credit-agency threshold?
  2. If the exposed fields include a Social Security number, bank account, or State ID number, who will provide or arrange the required credit report and 12 months of monitoring?
  3. Is the entity actually subject to Pennsylvania’s Insurance Data Security Act, and does that exempt it only from the concurrent Attorney General filing?
  4. Does the incident inventory include online-account credentials and health-insurance information in Pennsylvania’s definition?
