Significant impact of insurer data breaches

Insurer data breaches can lead to a significant impact on any victim whose information has been misused or exposed in this kind of setting. Such companies will be storing and processing sensitive information which not only includes personal contact information but can also include details about our insurance products. There may also be payment card information for renewals and for the payment of services, as well as credit report checking data that has been completed, and information about historical claims.

Because of this, insurance companies can be lucrative targets for hackers to attempt to steal information from. On top of that, employees working for insurance companies must make sure that they do all they can to uphold the GDPR at all times. From an organisational perspective, policies, practices and procedures must be clear and adequate to make sure that insurer data breaches are limited as much as possible.

It can only take one error and information could be misused or exposed in a particularly serious way.

Claiming data protection breach compensation

When it comes to a data protection breach compensation claim, you could be eligible to recover damages for any distress caused by the loss of control of your personal information. If you have also suffered losses and expenses as a direct result of a breach, those can also be considered, but they are not essential to pursuing a case. In most cases, it is the distress that you claim for alone, and this could lead to a pay-out in the thousands of pounds region.

As things stand, our current average pay-out is just over £6,000 in compensation, which is mostly for distress cases in individual claims.
