Director Shield · EU · NIS2

# Personal cyber cover for directors under NIS2.

NIS2 makes EU board members personally liable for cyber incidents. Director Shield is a personal D&O cyber policy built specifically for that liability, not your company's, yours.

**€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.
- ### Tokio Marine HCC & Chubb. €5M capacity.

  Not a whitebox product with an unknown underwriter. Capacity comes from A-rated carriers, Tokio Marine HCC and Chubb. €5M capacity per director, enough to defend a significant NIS2 enforcement action.
- ### Selected by PwC Belgium for their Defence & Resilience scale-up track.

  Syba is a cybersecurity company chosen for PwC Belgium's scale-up programme in Defence & Resilience, dual-use innovation: defence for soldiers, safety for civilians.

## €2,500 per director per year.
