Sportscover Australia and Beazley have introduced cyber breach response insurance for sports and leisure businesses, clubs and bodies. 

The sector is at risk of personal data being compromised and financial, legal and reputational damage, Sportscover Australia MD Chris Nash says.

He says the cover is a complete solution for data protection and security risk management.

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

Sportscover has offices in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane and also underwrites personal accident, contingency, liability, travel and legal expense products.
