New solution offers one-stop cyber security for SMBs

For smaller organizations, managing their systems can present enough of a challenge without the additional need to worry about different aspects of security.

Now a new three-way collaboration between underwriters Victor O Schinnerer & Company, SaaS data protection company Spanning, and Microsoft, is designed to help small and mid-size organizations safeguard their business and data.

It offers a suite of risk management and data protection solutions including the Schinnerer Cyber Protection Package, Microsoft Office 365, Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite, and Spanning Backup for Office 365.

The solution includes Schinnerer's Cyber Protection Package, offering insurance cover for digital crime, breach liability, and breach rectification, in addition to Microsoft Office 365 and Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite (EMS) combining the familiar Office apps with the power of the cloud, and including data encryption, identity and access management, information protection, device and application management and cyber intrusion detection. Rounding things off, Spanning Backup for Office 365 provides daily, automated backups of data stored in Office 365 mail, calendars and One Drive for Business enabling fast, easy and accurate data restoration in the event of data loss.

"Our goal is to give business owners peace of mind by delivering a comprehensive software, security and data recovery solution to help them avoid the potential losses and consequences associated with cybercrime or even human error," says Brian Hanuschak, president of Victor O Schinnerer & Company. "The collaboration between Schinnerer, Spanning and Microsoft will provide insureds with a valuable risk management solution".

The solution is available through Microsoft's and Spanning's network of cloud solution providers and through Schinnerer's network of licensed insurance brokers. Existing users with Microsoft Office 365 licenses and Spanning Backup for Office 365 may be eligible for a Cyber Protection Package policy discount. Find out more on the Schinnerer website.
