Privacy Protection

In this privacy-conscious world, any school can be affected by a breach of sensitive information on a parent, student, or employee.

A Privacy Protection Policy approaches traditional network school liability with an innovative new alternative. This next-generation school insurance policy focuses on privacy liability arising out of lost computer equipment, network security breaches, and human errors. It even covers schools from mistakes made by outside service providers.

CM Regent Insurance Company^®’s privacy protection also includes an identity theft response fund, broad network liability, and other enhancements including internet media liability and cyber extortion, which are available by endorsement.
