National Catholic RRG strengthens cyber toolkit

The National Catholic Risk Retention Group has mandated Sera-Brynn to provide its members, clients, affiliates and shareholders with risk control cyber security products and services.

The RRG, which is headquartered in Illinois and provides coverages for the Catholic Church in all 50 US states, became the first church-affiliated insurer to provide cyber liability coverage to its insureds in 2007. It also provides VIRTUS, an internal risk control programme

President and CEO Michael Bemi said cyber security specialist Sera-Brynn would strengthen the RRG’s cyber risk controls.

“In 2007, the National Catholic Risk Retention Group was the first church-affiliated insurer to provide cyber liability coverage to its insureds and now we are very proud and excited to be the first church-affiliated insurer to offer highest quality cyber security risk control services to the church, via our exclusive relationship with Sera-Brynn,” said Bemi.

Sera-Brynn works with the insurance industry to identify and mitigate cyber risks. The company offers compliance audits and advisory services, vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and incident response.

Sera-Brynn CEO Rob Hegedus said: “We greatly appreciate the opportunity to work with the National Catholic Risk Retention Group to provide specialised risk control and compliance services to their members and affiliates.”

“The insurance industry is taking a leadership role in proactively providing cyber security products and services to minimise the growing cyber risk businesses and organisations face. This is especially true in the captive and risk retention group environment, and the National Catholic Risk Retention Group is at the forefront of this movement to provide cyber security support to its members and clients.”
