New Program to Enhance Miscellaneous Professional Liability Policy
Hamilton, Bermuda, June 9, 2010 – IronPro, the professional liability division of Ironshore Inc., announced that it will enhance its Miscellaneous Professional Liability policy with an affirmative coverage grant for Privacy Breach Liability and Expense Fund coverage to address the privacy exposures faced by a broad array of business risk exposures. IronPro’s Miscellaneous Professional Liability policy offers several features for qualified customers, including a privacy breach fund sub-limit in addition to the aggregate limit of liability at no additional cost, media liability, enterprise security, privacy liability, defense costs for privacy related regulatory proceedings, and consumer redress funds coverage following a privacy breach.
