- €5M
- Cover per director, on A-rated capacity from Tokio Marine HCC and Chubb.
- €2,500
- Per director per year.
The NIS2 director risk
Before NIS2
Cyber incidents were a company problem. Directors approved budgets and moved on. Personal liability was rare and hard to prove.
After NIS2
Directors of essential and important entities can be held personally liable for NIS2 violations. Sanctions include personal fines, temporary management bans, and public naming. The personal risk is now structural, not theoretical.
What's covered
Personal liability defence
Legal fees, regulatory fines, and personal defence costs arising from NIS2 enforcement actions against you as an individual director.
Breach notification costs
Costs of complying with NIS2 notification obligations, legal review, forensic investigation, and regulator correspondence, charged to your policy, not your company.
Reputation management
Public-relations and crisis-communication costs when your name appears in a breach disclosure or regulatory enforcement notice.
Why Director Shield
A personal-liability policy built for NIS2.
Standard D&O policies exclude cyber events. Standard cyber policies cover the company, not the individual director. Director Shield is purpose-built for the gap.
