Toronto, May 20, 2026 – Northbridge Insurance is proud to announce it has been named a 2026 5‑Star Cyber winner by Insurance Business Canada (IBC). This award underscores Northbridge’s commitment to delivering a Cyber Risk Insurance solution that is designed to help Canadian businesses manage and recover from today’s heightened cyber threats.
Northbridge’s cyber offering is recognized for its broad first and third‑party coverage, scalable underwriting approach, and human‑led incident response model. The offering is strengthened by Cyber Assist, Northbridge’s cyber risk management platform delivered in partnership with GoSecure, which provides eligible policyholders with tools such as vulnerability scans, self‑assessments, tabletop exercises, as well as 24/7 breach response support.
“Cyber incidents are dynamic events where speed, clarity, and coordination directly influence outcomes. Our cyber insurance product is designed around how incidents actually unfold. We differentiate our offering through early engagement, clearly defined coverage, and a response model that brings insurance, legal, and technical expertise together from the outset,” said Patrick Cruikshank, Underwriting Director at Northbridge Insurance. “Being recognized as a 5‑Star Cyber winner reflects our commitment to supporting brokers and clients when it matters most, and we are very proud of this achievement.”
Through this award, IBC recognizes Northbridge for its streamlined claims process, rapid time‑to‑response, and underwriting expertise that is aligned with Canadian privacy laws and regulatory requirements. Flexible policy features—such as coverage for business interruption, reputational harm, voluntary shutdowns, system failure, and cybercrime— enable customers to focus on stabilizing operations while downstream financial impact is controlled.
Designed for organizations of all sizes, Northbridge’s cyber insurance can be easily packaged with other coverages. To learn more about Cyber Risk Insurance from Northbridge, visit Cyber Risk Insurance – Northbridge Insurance.
