S.14.03 — Cyber underwriting risk

General comments

This section relates to annual submission of information for individual entities.

This template is relevant to non-life insurance and reinsurance undertakings which underwrite products covering cyber risks as defined in these instructions.

Undertakings are required to provide information related with cyber risk underwritten by product group code and by Product Identification. When more than one commercial product is provided for the same Product Identification, for same set of LoB and the same set of Risk Coverage, products shall be reported using a single line, providing a “Product Group Code” defined by the undertaking to identify the group of reported products. Products within the same Product Identification not sharing the mentioned characteristic cannot be aggregated and therefore shall be reported using individual lines.

When a special justification is needed, the explanation is not to be submitted within the reporting template but shall be part of the dialogue between undertakings and the National Competent Authorities (NCAs).

The template shall be subject to the application of a threshold based on the following:

  • The sum of premiums earned for standalone cyber policies and policies with cyber as add-on coverage (where only the (estimated) premiums earned for cyber risk should be taken into account) is greater than 5% of the overall non-life business pursued by the undertaking or greater than 5 million €

OR

  • Number of policies that include cyber coverage (i.e. standalone cyber and/or cyber ad add-on policy) represent more than 3% of the total number of policies of the non-life business).
ITEM INSTRUCTIONS
C0010 Product Group Code Internal product group ID code defined by the
undertaking.
The Product Group Code shall be consistent
over time.
In the cases where the same product group
needs to be reported in more than one row the
content of C0010 shall follow the specific
pattern:
{}{Product
Group
code}}/+/{}{cardinal
number}}. For example ‘AB222/+/1’.
C0020 Target Market Identification of the Target Market. One of the
options in the following closed list shall be used:
1-
B2B (Business to Business)
2-
Private
3-
Both
Given the granularity of Risks identified in the
cell C0060, option 3 is expected only as an
exceptional case of the regular identification of
the Target Market for product categories.
C0030 Product Identification Identification of the Product Category. One of
the options in the following closed list shall be
used:
First Party Loss
(1)
Third Party Loss
(2)
Costs and related services
(3)
First Party Loss includes losses that relate to
policyholders’ own data or loss of income,
including any negative consequence that can
cause, as a result of an event, a data breach or
cyber
attack
to
the
policyholder’s
business/personal sphere.
Third Party Loss includes losses that relate to
policyholders’ liability for damage caused to
others’ data or income, including any negative
consequence that can cause, as a result of an
event, a data breach or cyber attack to the
policyholder’s business/personal sphere.
Costs and related services include coverages that
only relate to costs or services delivered by the
coverage issuer to restore systems and data after
a cyber event (including legal costs).
In principle, only one item can be chosen from
the list to characterise the Product Identification;
however, in exceptional cases
and in case of
reporting
from
Reinsurance
undertakings,
multiple selection is allowed.
The Product Identification
is uniquely defined
by the combination of Line(s) of Business and
Description of Risks included in the Coverage,
provided that the latter is not filled in as “Other”
or that multiple selections of the items available
in the list is performed. If this is the case, two
Product
Categories
characterised
by
same
LoB(s) and Description of Risks included in the
Coverage as “Other” cannot be considered
as the
same Product Identification
and will need to be
reported as separate lines.
C0040 Cyber
coverage
in
the
Product Identification
Identification of the Cyber coverage included in
the commercial products included in the Product
identification.
One
of
the
options
in
the
following closed list shall be used:
(1)
Cyber Standalone Coverage
(2)
Cyber as add-on coverage but main risk
being covered
(3)
Cyber as add-on coverage and not as
main risk being covered
Cyber Standalone Coverage includes all the
coverages where cyber is the provided as
standalone (i.e. unique) coverage.
Cyber as add-on coverage but main risk being
covered (>50%) includes all coverages where
cyber is an add-on item but represents the main
risk being covered.
Cyber as add-on coverage and not as main risk
being covered
(<50%)
includes all coverages
where cyber is an add-on item but does not
represent the main risk being covered.
Only one item can be chosen from the list to
characterise the Product Identification.

the
commercial
products.

Data breaches may involve personal health information ( PHI ), personally identifiable information ( PII ), trade secrets or intellectual property)
