Cyber Liability Insurance Cost: 2026 Quotes and Ranges
Median small-business Cyber Liability premium is $129/month ($1,548/year) per III Cyber Insurance. Cost varies dramatically by industry — consulting/SaaS pays ~$50-$100/mo; retail with card processing $130-$250/mo; healthcare/medical/dental $200-$500+/mo (HIPAA + HITECH exposure widens premiums).
Premium drivers: industry risk class, records held (PII + PHI counts), annual revenue, coverage limits, ransomware sub-limit, business-email-compromise sub-limit, and security controls (MFA, EDR, segmented backups, incident-response retainer). Carriers cut premium 10-25% for verified MFA on email + admin; another 5-15% for tested backup restoration in the last 12 months. Every number on this page is sourced from a named external publication (NetDiligence + III).
Required by contract for: SaaS + IT services, any business processing card data (PCI), healthcare (HIPAA), legal + financial-services firms, and increasingly any vendor in B2B supply chains. Most enterprise clients now require evidence of Cyber coverage before signing.
