Sportscover Australia has started offering cyber breach response insurance amid growing threats to the leisure sector.

National MD Chris Nash says the cover is a complete solution for sports and leisure businesses, clubs and bodies requiring data protection and security risk management.

He says the sector is at risk of personal data being compromised, and the knock-on effects of financial, legal and reputational damage.

“We live in a digital world and there is no escaping it. This type of protection is something that all sports and leisure sector businesses should strongly consider.”

The cyber cover has been introduced in conjunction with Beazley.

Sportscover also underwrites personal accident, contingency, liability, travel and legal expense products.
