NAIC’s Work on Privacy Model Grinds On

by Daniel Barry | Aug 14, 2023 | |

The NAIC’s Privacy Protections (H) Working Group met over the weekend as part of the NAIC’s Summer National Meeting. The working group announced that later in the year it will seek an extension on its efforts to create a unified privacy model act (#674) which will likely push back final adoption into sometime next year. Multiple states have publicly announced that they will not support the current proposed Version 1.2, and at least one state referred to it as fundamentally flawed. The opposed states do not want to move forward with the current version. The Chair announced that the working group will continue to receive public comments while it digests comments previously received and continues the direct one-on-one outreach to companies and trades.

by Daniel Barry | Jun 5, 2023 | |

Since the NAIC Spring National Meeting in late March, the Privacy Protections (H) Working Group has continued its work to draft a new unitary privacy model. Over April, the Working Group met one-on-one with industry and interested parties. Since then, the Working Group met twice to receive public comments on discrete topics. The Working Group will ratchet up that level of activity with two full days of in-person public drafting sessions, starting this week. The Working Group plans to circulate a new full draft by the end of the month followed by three more meetings to receive public comments before the Summer National Meeting in August.

A New Type of ILS Investment – Cyber Insurance CAT Bonds

by Rob Evans, Molly McGinnis Stine and John Emmanuel | Jan 25, 2023 | , , , |

Specialty insurer Beazley sponsored the first Cyber Insurance Catastrophe (CAT) bond recently, a new type of ILS or insurance linked security issued by a Bermuda entity. They announced the $45 million private placement on January 9, 2023. The bonds provide investors with a generous floating rate of interest and a return of principal in one year, provided that no single catastrophic event occurs across Beazley’s portfolio of cyber insurance policies that results in more than $300 million of losses. Any losses above $300 million incurred by Beazley on those policies as a result of that one event would be absorbed by the investors, up to the $45 million principal amount. The deal was marketed under an NDA, so not all of the details are available, but the bonds will not protect against losses from a state-sponsored cyberattack, which is typically excluded from cyber insurance policies as an act of war.
