Edgware Re

A unique cyber-only group captive designed for organisations worldwide interested in increasing control, stability, and contract certainty in their cyber insurance programs.

Control

Co-owning an insurance entity provides additional control. 

Stability

Designed to reduce pricing volatility for member firms with a strong commitment to cybersecurity.

Certainty

Utilisation of Marsh proprietary cyber policies drive increased contract certainty.

Edgware Re is a first-of-its-kind, cyber-only group captive designed by Marsh to meet the needs of financially stable companies that are looking for more control, stability, and contract certainty than what the current traditional cyber insurance market can provide.

Domiciled in Bermuda, Edgware Re will only transact business with participating members. After an initial investment, members have the option to purchase an insurance or reinsurance policy, utilising Marsh’s proprietary cyber insurance wording, from Edgware Re based on their needs. As with traditional cyber insurance, Edgware Re will indemnify members for covered losses. However, unlike traditional cyber insurance, Edgware Re members will be eligible for dividends in the event of requisite profitability. 

Members will also receive captive management, incident response, vendor engagement, and claims advocacy support from Marsh.
