In response to recent SEC Rules on Cyber Liability disclosures, this year’s 3rd annual survey, conducted in collaboration with Nasdaq, provided critical information regarding D&O and Cyber Liability Insurance. The result is one of the only independent benchmarking reports on spending and purchasing in the D&O & Cyber Marketplace.

Overall, it appears that rates are starting to stabilize for both D&O and Cyber insurance. However, certain industries are still seeing double-digit reductions in D&O rates, while retentions also continue to decline.

The report will break down total average and median limits purchased, as well as average and median retention amounts, broken out by industry and by market caps ranging from $0 – $50B.

Cyber Rate Changes by Revenue:

Unlike D&O, which saw continued double-digit decreases, the Cyber marketplace has leveled off after several turbulent years of significant increases.

Almost 70% of respondents reported flat renewals in 2023, with no meaningful distinctions between revenue, market cap, or industry.

Observations

Overall D&O Rate Change data:

Roughly half of all companies saw their overall D&O premiums stay within 10% of last year. Only 19% of companies enjoyed a rate reduction of over 30%. Most of the companies that saw significant rate changes were found between $250M – $1B in market cap, which makes sense as recent IPOs and DeSPACs would fall in that band; which are the companies seeing the greatest decreases.

This year’s report provides a comprehensive overview of D&O and Cyber Liability insurance programs including:
