The Haxsafe platform is equipped with ‘instant’ quote and policy issuance capabilities.
The cyber insurance cover offered on Haxsafe is underwritten by Chubb and is designed to provide pre-loss risk mitigation and incident response services.
The mitigation services provide access to a password management tool and spam tests.
In an event of a cyberattack, customers will be able to access the Chubb Incident Response Platform, which is designed to help contain the threat and limit damages.

By GlobalDataChubb head of property & casualty Asia Pacific Grant Cairns said: “Our data shows that SMEs, like large organisations, are vulnerable to cyber attacks, despite the popular belief that SMEs are too small to be of interest to threat actors.
“I am pleased that we are now able to bring Chubb’s cyber risk management solution closer to SMEs, underscoring our commitment to better serve the small commercial segment.”
JA Assure CEO Japhire Gopi said: “Haxsafe will be a gamechanger for SMEs as it simplifies the insurance buying process for small business owners who simply do not have the time and resources to go through lengthy insurance purchase processes. We are in the business of innovation and I am excited to make insurance more accessible to those who need it.”
Last month, Hippo-backed First Connect Insurance Services joined forces with Blink by Chubb to offer cyber insurance protection.
