[1](https://www.thehartford.com/cyber-insurance "Cyber Insurance for Small Businesses") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Cyber insurance product page as read 2026-09-23.) ## Who It’s For - The Hartford says cyber coverage is relevant to businesses that use the internet in operations, maintain a website, store private client data, or accept digital payments. [1](https://www.thehartford.com/cyber-insurance "Cyber Insurance for Small Businesses") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Cyber insurance product page as read 2026-09-23.) ## Coverage Features - The Hartford lists covered expenses after a cyber event: incident response (legal, forensic investigation, public relations), cyber extortion/ransom payments and negotiation, data recovery, system/network restoration, lost income from business interruption, customer notification and credit monitoring, and regulatory-inquiry defense and fines. The Hartford does not offer separate third-party cyber coverage; that risk may instead fall within its general liability grant.
