Insurance discount for SMEs with cyber-safe certificate

Cybercrime is considered one of the biggest operational risks for SMEs. Protecting themselves effectively against these risks should be the goal of every company. After all, cyber attacks are becoming more frequent and more sophisticated all the time.

Seal of approval for cyber security

Companies that know their IT security risks and take sufficient preventive measures can benefit from the Swiss Association for the Cybersecurity Seal of Approval with the cyber-safe certificate. "Anyone who has been awarded the seal of approval can be sure that their IT security is state of the art and that their internal organization is equipped to deal with cyber threats," says Christophe Hauert, founding member of cyber-safe.ch.

Benefit from the cyber-safe certificate

It is also extremely important to the insurance company Helvetia to promote cyber security throughout Switzerland. On its website, Helvetia already offers some free support in the form of security training, a short cyber security check and a guide on back-up strategy to increase the IT security of SMEs or raise awareness on this topic. Through its collaboration with cyber-safe.ch, Helvetia grants companies that are cyber-safe.ch certified a quality discount of 20 percent on their cyber insurance. In return, customers with Helvetia cyber insurance benefit from a partner discount of 10 percent when they purchase the cyber-safe seal of approval.

Cyber insurance with fast support

"Cyber insurance is an important addition to comprehensive cyber security management. Because even good preventive security measures never guarantee complete protection against attacks in the rapidly changing digital world," knows Tobias Seitz, cyber insurance specialist at Helvetia. In the event of a claim, cyber insurance offers not only financial protection, but also professional and rapid support from specialized partner companies.
