Cyber crime is on the rise and you need to ensure that your business data is secure. If you are a small business, you can be especially at risk since you might not have the resources or infrastructure in place to protect yourself.According to the Ponemon Institute's First Annual Cost of Cyber Crime Study, published in July 2010, a business can expect to pay an average of $204 per customer record that is lost or stolen.Among the threats against businesses are identity left, theft of business's intellectual property, the creation/distribution of viruses and malicious code, and the publishing of private data in a public forum online.If you do not have cyber coverage in place, give us a call and we can review your business and design a cyber insurance portfolio that protects you and your business.Source: iamagazine

Brian Friel from Smith Insurance was invited to present to the Greater Philadelphia Condominium Association (GPCMA) on Mold and Insurance in October 2011. Brian discussed the first major legal case of a mold claim and explained how it has impacted the insurance industry over the past decade. In addition, he discussed the specific mold insurance regulations for the states of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Brian also went into details regarding insurance coverages for mold exposures and summarized how Condominium Associations and Cooperative Apartments can protect themselves from costly mold claims. If your Community Association would like a copy of the presentation or would like Smith Insurance to provide a similar seminar, please contact Carrie Smith at (215) 542-5959 x124.

As a precaution you may want to write down, or put in your smart phone, information on your insurance policies including homeowners, flood and autos. Key information needed in the event of a claim is the insurance company, their claims phone number and your policy number. In the event of a storm our office may be closed temporarily - reporting any claims to the insurance company directly will facilitate your claim processing. As soon as we are able we will be available to assist you with any claims and related questions.
And, above all be safe.
