Help Customers Weather a Cloud Outage
Not typically available on a business owner's policy (BOP), The Hartford's new Business Income Extension for Cloud Service Interruption endorsement:
  • helps replace lost business income if business operations are suspended due to an unannounced and unplanned interruption in cloud service, regardless of the reason for the interruption
  • requires only a 12-hour waiting period
  • provides a $25,000 limit
 
This Coverage is Important; Here's Why
 
Small businesses are using cloud services more often than ever. In fact, it's expected that 78% of small businesses (ie: those with fewer than 50 employees) will fully adapt to the cloud by 2020 – up from 37% in 2014.¹ And in a recent study of business cloud users:
  • 48% said their organization has experienced an interruption in cloud services²
  • 56% of those businesses reported that at least one of these interruptions prevented their organization from functioning²
 
So while your customers may be drawn to potentially lower data management costs and improved efficiency offered by the cloud, they're likely not thinking about the risks – like an outage and the possible impact on their income. This presents an ideal opportunity for you to deliver a differentiating solution that addresses an emerging risk.
