The UK government&nbsp;then&nbsp;replicated GDPR into UK law&nbsp;after Brexit,&nbsp;after which it became known&nbsp;as \u2018UK GDPR\u2019.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, UK GDPR is a wide-ranging regulation that&nbsp;sets the rules for any UK company that stores, collects, or processes individuals\u2019 personal data.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While that&#8217;s undoubtedly a good thing for our collective data security, the colossal fines for non-compliance mean it could be a very bad thing indeed for some small businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that risk in mind, where does your professional insurance come in? Does it cover UK GDPR-related claims against you? What about those colossal fines? Is there UK GDPR insurance or something you can buy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good questions, all of which have been flung our way in recent weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe these answers will help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">UK GDPR insurance Q &amp; As:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I buy UK GDPR insurance?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, there isn&#8217;t a specific UK GDPR insurance policy just for UK GDPR-related claims, if that&#8217;s what you mean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UK GDPR is concerned with how organisations keep&nbsp;personal data secure. You can be sued by a client for the&nbsp;simple act of losing their data (a breach of confidentiality, covered by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.policybee.co.uk\/professional-indemnity-insurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">professional indemnity insurance<\/a>), but this would be the case whether UK GDPR existed or not. And whether you had insurance or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re hacked or otherwise a victim of cybercrime, and data you hold goes missing, the costs of fixing systems and recovering that data are covered by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.policybee.co.uk\/cyber-insurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cyber insurance<\/a>. You&#8217;ll get legal advice and PR assistance throw in, too, to help you manage your reputation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, there&#8217;s no specific UK GDPR red flag here unless you&#8217;ve breached the regs by not making sure the data was secure in the first place. That would all come out in the wash once the <a href=\"https:\/\/ico.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ICO<\/a> (Information Commissioner&#8217;s Office) has been notified, of course&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cyber insurance helps notify them and gives you legal advice during the whole process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Does my insurance cover fines for&nbsp;UK GDPR non-compliance?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with any set of rules and regs, it&#8217;s up to you as the\u00a0business owner or manager to make sure you&#8217;ve ticked the necessary boxes. UK GDPR is something your business has to comply with, not a service your business offers. While cyber insurance can only help with the technical, PR, and legal side of things following a data breach caused by cybercriminals \u2013 and not with UK GDPR-related fines.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, insurance designed to fix problems with the service your business offers (professional indemnity insurance) doesn&#8217;t cover fines for regulatory non-compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering a fine will be up to either&nbsp;<strong>4% of your annual revenue<\/strong> or <strong>\u20ac20m,&nbsp;<\/strong>it pays to do your homework and avoid any problems in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do I need extra cover if I&#8217;m giving UK GDPR-related advice?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Depends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re, for example, a compliance consultant whose job is simplifying and explaining rules and regs and telling other businesses how to comply with them, giving UK GDPR advice is fine. It&#8217;s reasonable to assume confused clients will call on you at some point to help with the new legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Effectively, your insurer is already covering this so you don&#8217;t need any specific clauses or wordings to say &#8216;I&#8217;m doing UK GDPR now&#8217;. Increasing your level of cover just in case isn&#8217;t a bad idea, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if, say, you&#8217;re an accountant and a client asks&nbsp;you to make sure they&#8217;re UK GDPR compliant, you need to make sure your policy covers it. From an insurer&#8217;s perspective, an accountant&#8217;s expertise is balancing the&nbsp;books, not giving compliance advice. Getting involved in something outside your &#8216;core&#8217; business increases risk, makes insurers nervous, and means they&#8217;re&nbsp;more likely to refuse to pay a claim against you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As always, the best thing is to pick up&nbsp;the&nbsp;phone and check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Am I liable if my client&#8217;s fined for UK GDPR non-compliance?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Potentially, yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, let&#8217;s say you&#8217;re either a compliance consultant or someone engaged to give advice on business rules and regs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your client comes to you for UK GDPR advice, what you tell them is wrong or incomplete, and they&#8217;re fined \u00a3200,000 by the ICO as a result, they have every&nbsp;right to demand you pay it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Effectively, this is professional negligence and a breach of your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.policybee.co.uk\/blog\/what-does-duty-of-care-mean\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">duty of care<\/a> (legal speak for the high standard of work expected of an expert). It&#8217;s exactly the kind of claim your professional indemnity insurance helps with. In this case, assuming your level cover is enough, your policy pays both your legal costs and your client&#8217;s fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your client hasn&#8217;t specifically asked for advice, and is fined for breaching UK GDPR regs, they could argue your duty of care (yes, that again) means you should&#8217;ve at least given them a heads-up about it. That&#8217;s unlikely to stand up in court, however, and they&#8217;d have a tough time arguing it out. In any case, your professional indemnity insurance pays to fight your corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does having professional insurance make me UK GDPR compliant?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It goes without saying we&#8217;re big fans of insurance and its business-rescuing benefits. But on this occasion, whether you have insurance or not won&#8217;t make a difference to UK GDPR. The only thing that will is making sure you&#8217;ve ticked every UK GDPR box there is. Sorry about that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So there we go. A little bleak, perhaps, and maybe a bit of a blow to discover UK GDPR insurance doesn&#8217;t actually exist. But it&#8217;s always worth knowing where you stand. And that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.policybee.co.uk\/blog\/does-cyber-insurance-cover-gdpr\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.policybee.co.uk\/blog\/does-cyber-insurance-cover-gdpr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cyber insurance can help with at least some of the technical and legal aspects<\/a> of UK GDPR-related claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have more UK GDPR-related insurance questions, feel free to call <strong>0345 222 5391<\/strong> and ask one of the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Image used under license from Shutterstock.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In May 2018, the brand-new, EU-wide General Data Protection Regulation replaced the Data Protection Act.
