MSI Unveils Cyber Insurance for Health Organizations: Protecting Your Data!

Baldwin, U.S. - In a noteworthy development for managed care organizations (MCOs), MSIMGA has launched a new cyber insurance program aptly named MSI Cyber for Managed Care Organizations. This initiative strives to fortify MCOs against the rising threat of cyberattacks, a growing concern in today’s digital age. As healthcare providers increasingly handle sensitive patient data, the need for comprehensive protection has never been more critical. With the looming risk of data breaches, this program comes at a time when cybersecurity measures are paramount.

MSI’s cyber insurance program offers robust coverage options, with limits reaching up to a substantial $25 million for both primary and excess placements. Included in these offerings are vital elements like privacy and cyber liability, technology errors and omissions, and miscellaneous professional liability. These provisions address the multifaceted risks that MCOs face in managing sensitive data. According to Business Insurance, the program is led by seasoned underwriters Tim LeMarbre and Tammy Kocher, who bring a combined 40 years of experience in the insurance sector.

Tailored Solutions for Healthcare

The landscape of cyber insurance has long been underserved, particularly for MCOs that are attractive targets for cybercriminals due to the sensitive information they handle. Rajiv Matta, Chief Innovation Officer at MSI, emphasizes the company’s commitment to developing innovative solutions specifically designed for these organizations. Acknowledging that MCOs have been overlooked in the cyber insurance market, MSI aims to fill this gap with tailored services and protections.

As part of this program, insured organizations will gain access to flexible risk management resources and a specialized breach response panel. This panel includes forensic analysts, privacy and defense counsel, and breach coaches who can provide crucial support in the event of a cyber incident. According to MSIMGA, these expert resources are designed to ensure that MCOs are not only protected but also equipped to respond effectively to potential breaches.

A Broad Reach with Experienced Leadership

MSI is no newcomer to the insurance world; founded in 2015 and becoming an indirect subsidiary of The Baldwin Insurance Group in 2019, the agency currently features over 20 insurance products spread across various lines. Their recent initiative illustrates a proactive approach to meeting the needs of an evolving market. It aligns with their mission to provide tailored risk management and insurance solutions to a diverse clientele, which now includes more than three million clients.

For those curious about the specifics, the MSI Cyber for Managed Care Organizations program has been positioned as the first of multiple cyber programs planned. As reported by Morningstar, this launch showcases MSI’s strategy to bolster its offerings in response to the specific needs of sectors that face heightened cybersecurity threats.

In conclusion, as cyber threats continue to evolve, programs like MSI Cyber for Managed Care Organizations represent a crucial step forward in safeguarding healthcare entities and, by extension, their patients. With thorough coverage and expert support, MCOs can navigate the challenging waters of cybersecurity with greater confidence. This new launch not only underscores the importance of proactive risk management but also highlights MSI’s commitment to protecting the healthcare industry in an increasingly digital world.
