BR Risk Group Specialty Insurance Services

In remembrance of those who gave everything in service to our country. We are grateful, today and every day.

At BR Risk Group Specialty Insurance, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all insurance.

Your business has its own risks, contracts, clients, and challenges—so your coverage should be built around your operation, not squeezed into a generic policy.

We recently helped a small professional services firm that needed more than just a basic quote. After a consultative review, we identified key coverage gaps and added tailored endorsements to better protect the business.

The result? Clearer coverage, stronger protection, and greater peace of mind.

If you’re not sure whether your current policy truly fits your business, let’s take a closer look.

It is the near total interconnectedness of the world today that make cyber risks, and the potential for the losses associated with them to accumulate rapidly, a concern for virtually every type of business.

As more businesses shift to digital operations, cybercrime has increased, and a single data breach can lead to devastating consequences.

The primary benefit of cyber insurance is that it can help provide you and your business with peace of mind regarding the financial risks associated with cyber-attacks.

Should My Business Focus On Cyber Insurance? - Should my business focus on cyber insurance? The short answer for any size business, to help protect against cyber attacks, is yes!

is not slowing down. It is becoming more targeted, more disruptive, and more expensive.

Two recent reports from Travelers and Coalition point to the same message:
Ransomware pressure is not letting up.

For example, Travelers cites 7,837 ransomware victims in 2025, a 50% increase over 2024, while Coalition reported that average ransomware demands surged 47% year over year to more than $1 million. [Sources: Travelers Cyber Trends 2026; Coalition 2026 Cyber Claims Report]

Additionally, Coalition found that 70% of ransomware claims involved both encryption and data exfiltration. [Source: Coalition 2026 Cyber Claims Report]

Remote access also remains a major exposure. Travelers found that VPNs and other external remote services were the initial access method in 52% of ransomware and system intrusion claims in 2025. [Source: Travelers Cyber Trends 2026]

Further, human-driven fraud is still a major loss driver. Coalition reported that business email compromise (BEC) and funds transfer fraud (FTF) made up 58% of claims, and 71% of FTF claims resulted from social engineering. [Source: Coalition 2026 Cyber Claims Report]

The takeaway for business owners: cyber risk is not just an IT problem. It's a financial, operational, and contractual risk.

If your business still relies on legacy remote access tools, weak payment verification procedures, or assumes backups alone will solve a ransomware event, now is the time to take a closer look.

At BR Risk Group Specialty Insurance, we help businesses understand where cyber claims are actually happening, where coverage gaps can hurt, and how to build protection that reflects today’s threat landscape.

Whether you’re an independent fractional CFO or part of a firm offering interim financial leadership, you’re exposed to the same Errors & Omissions (E&O) risks as full-time CFOs.

That means potential claims for financial misstatements, strategic missteps, compliance failures, or breach of fiduciary duty.

Fractional CFO E&O risks are real, but they’re manageable. Define your scope in writing, document decisions and approvals, set expectations early, and use professional liability insurance as a backstop for the low-frequency, high-impact scenarios you can’t fully prevent.

Fractional CFO E&O Risks - Understanding fractional CFO E&O risks helps you protect your practice and respond confidently when questions about coverage arise.

Purchasing Professional Liability insurance (also referred to as Errors & Omission or E&O insurance) is not the same as buying General Liability insurance. For example, unlike General Liability insurance, there are no standardized Professional Liability insurance policy forms.

Also, one of the most crucial aspects of Professional Liability insurance is ensuring you have an accurate description of your firm's professional services. An inaccurate description can lead to gaps in coverage, or worse, a denied claim. It's also important to be sure you have a policy retroactive date that makes sense for your business.

Take ten minutes this week to review your current E&O policy. Check the description of your professional services. Look at the retroactive date. If you see gaps or don’t understand the jargon, then it is time to ask for help.

Growth for your business is a good problem to have, until your insurance coverage lags behind.

The problem is that most insurance policies were set up for “who you were” when you started your firm, not “who you are” now.

It’s important to make sure your insurance matches how you operate today, what your contracts require, and where claims actually come from in growing businesses.
