Fabien CROZET: The foundation of GDPR compliance is based on the accountability of companies that must demonstrate that they have implemented security measures to protect their personal data. And as such, the implementation of such measures to protect against cyberattacks has become essential. All the measures taken and the associated documentation constitute an insurable framework so that insurance brokers such as Riskee can offer their customers cyber insurance.
The security issues in the current context where cyberattacks are multiplying and where VSBs/SMEs are often the most vulnerable, make it increasingly necessary to use such insurance while taking responsibility thanks to GDPR which provides a framework of good practices to secure its data.
Dorian JORRY: GDPR and cybersecurity insurance are closely linked, you can’t have one without the other. Indeed, in order to be insured in cybersecurity, certain conditions must first be fulfilled, particularly with regard to data security and the actions implemented.
The current tense context illustrated by the conflict in Ukraine accentuates the cyber risk to which SMEs are the most exposed. Data protection is therefore a crucial issue and can be addressed by GDPR as well as cyber insurance which will allow companies to be supported and covered to protect themselves and respond effectively in the event of an incident.
