How to use our Cyber Insurance Calculator

Our Cyber Insurance Calculator helps Australian businesses estimate an appropriate cyber insurance limit and indicative sub-limits based on revenue, downtime risk, data exposure, payment handling and security controls. It is important because underinsuring can leave you funding incident response, business interruption and extortion losses yourself, while overinsuring can increase premiums without improving practical protection. This tool is a planning aid only, not a quote or a recommendation.

How to complete the form for the best estimate

1. Business profile

Select your industry, then enter your latest financial year annual revenue. Add an estimated daily gross profit (your best proxy for daily profit at risk if systems are down). Choose a realistic worst-case downtime scenario in days, focusing on a major incident rather than a minor outage.

2. Data and payment exposure

Choose the closest band for unique personal records stored. Then select the most sensitive data type you hold, as higher sensitivity generally increases response and liability costs. Indicate whether you process payment cards and how, because processing on your own systems typically increases exposure. Finally, select where affected individuals are located, as overseas exposure can increase regulatory and notification complexity.

3. Security posture (controls)

Answer honestly for MFA, backup quality, remote access exposure and any cyber incidents in the last three years. These inputs influence the tool’s view of likely severity and recovery costs.

4. Contractual requirement

If a customer or partner mandates a minimum limit, select it. This acts as a floor, even if your risk inputs suggest a lower figure. Choose your key dependency (SaaS, hybrid, on-prem) to reflect business interruption vulnerability.

How to interpret the results

1. Overall limit estimate: a starting point for discussions with a broker and for budgeting.

2. Suggested sub-limits: indicative allocations for incident response, business interruption and cyber extortion.

3. JSON summary: a concise snapshot you can share when requesting a formal quote.

Recent transport industry coverage has again highlighted regulator attention on heavy vehicle roadworthiness, with roadside checks, defect management and maintenance systems remaining central safety themes for Australian operators.

Australia’s engineered stone ban and continuing regulator focus on silica exposure are more than a workplace safety issue for builders, renovators, tilers, stonemasons, plumbers, electricians and demolition contractors. They also create a practical insurance checkpoint for any trade business that cuts, drills, grinds, removes or works around dust-generating materials. - read more

Rising Repair Costs Put Fresh Pressure on Truck Operators
20 Aug 2026: Paige Estritori
Fresh motor insurance commentary across the Australian market is again pointing to a practical issue truck operators know well: repairing vehicles is becoming more complex, more expensive and, in some cases, slower.

It can influence claim outcomes, renewal pricing, excess settings and the amount of time a truck is off the road after an incident. - read more

Why Claims Disputes Should Prompt a Farm Insurance Review
19 Aug 2026: Paige Estritori
Recent complaints data from the Australian Financial Complaints Authority has again highlighted a pressure point that matters to rural Australia: insurance claims can become difficult when expectations, policy wording and evidence do not line up. While the figures cover the wider insurance market rather than farms alone, the themes are highly relevant for agricultural businesses dealing with storm damage, fire losses, machinery failures, fencing repairs or interrupted operations. - read more
Compensation Rules Put Professional Indemnity Cover Back in Focus
Compensation Rules Put Professional Indemnity Cover Back in Focus
19 Aug 2026: Paige Estritori
Fresh industry attention on ASIC's expectations for compensation arrangements is a timely reminder that professional indemnity insurance should not be treated as a once-a-year renewal task. For Australian professionals who provide advice, compliance support, financial services, consulting, design, technology or outsourced business services, the adequacy of cover depends on how closely the policy matches the work actually being performed. - read more
