SME insurance provider Superscript has struck a partnership with cyber security specialist CyberSmart, making it faster and easier for firms to get cyber cover. The deal means that once SMEs complete the government-backed Cyber Essentials certification on CyberSmart’s website, they can subscribe to Superscript’s cyber insurance without leaving the website.

Henry Newby, partnerships director at Superscript, said: “As technological capabilities improve, driven by insurtechs like Superscript, we will begin to see much more embedded insurance like this; making it easier than ever before for businesses to secure comprehensive coverage without any fuss.”

Jamie Ahktar, co-founder and CEO at CyberSmart, added: “Ensuring that security and insurance companies work cohesively with each other is a crucial facet of providing the holistic protection for SMEs they so desperately need. A small business in the UK is hacked every 19 seconds, with dire consequences both from a security and insurance perspective in many instances.”
