New York | June 15, 2026
Marsh Risk, a business of Marsh (NYSE: MRSH) and the world’s leading insurance broker and risk advisor, today announced the launch of a cyber policy endorsement framework designed to accelerate clients access to funds following a cyber incident.
Using the framework, Marsh has successfully negotiated bespoke accelerated payment endorsements with leading cyber insurers AIG, Beazley, Canopius, CFC, and QBE. Marsh has also incorporated new policy language into its proprietary primary cyber products, including Cyber CAT, and is actively working to expand carrier participation and extend the framework to additional markets globally.
The framework establishes a clear, negotiated pathway for advance and interim payments and enables insurers to pay approved incident‑response firms directly, so clients don’t have to front early recovery costs during a crisis. It also mandates interim payments for undisputed business interruption (BI) losses and sets a standardized, prioritized evidence package to shorten insurer review times and align expectations among policyholders, brokers, and insurers. The policy language clarifies when response costs and BI losses are eligible, reducing ambiguity that often slows settlements.
“Settling cyber business interruption claims can be a protracted, documentation-heavy process,” said Greg Eskins, Global Cyber Product Leader, Marsh Risk. “Our framework is aimed squarely at the operational and financial realities our clients face when they are trying to recover from a cyber incident. By minimizing our clients’ out-of-pocket expenses, getting money into their hands sooner, and by reducing complexity regarding the documentation insurers need, we help clients focus on recovery, not paperwork.”
Marsh Risk is a business of Marsh (NYSE: MRSH), a global leader in risk, reinsurance and capital, people and investments, and management consulting, advising clients in 130 countries. With annual revenue of $27 billion and more than 95,000 colleagues, Marsh helps build the confidence to thrive through the power of perspective.
