CYB

Ranked reasons a business in NAICS 541715, Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology), needs Cyber Liability coverage. Each reason is specific to how this industry actually loses money, and ends with the question to ask before the objection comes up.

  1. 01

    Research data is targeted and often export controlled.

    • Defence and advanced technology research carries export control obligations.
    • State-linked actors target research organisations specifically.
    • Unauthorised access by a foreign person is a reportable violation.
    ASK
    How is access to controlled research data restricted and logged?
  2. 02

    Experiments and studies cannot be repeated cheaply.

    • Experimental runs represent months of work and expensive resources.
    • Data is generated once under those conditions.
    • Losing it means repeating the work entirely.
    ASK
    Where is your experimental data stored, and how is it backed up?
  3. 03

    Federal contracts impose cybersecurity requirements.

    • Research contracts with controlled information require documented controls.
    • Compliance is a condition of award.
    • Losing eligibility removes the funding the work depends on.
    ASK
    What cybersecurity requirements do your research contracts impose?
