Global risk protection for internationally operating e-commerce companies
Understanding e-commerce risks and securing them correctly
Digitalization has made e-commerce borderless - online stores can reach customers all over the world and tap into new markets. But as international expansion increases, so do the risks. As a specialist insurance broker for technology companies, Risk Partners Technology offers tailor-made solutions to cover the risks of globally active e-commerce companies and support their growth.
With our experience in international insurance programs for e-commerce companies, we have already been able to advise leading global e-commerce scale-ups and both improve insurance cover and significantly reduce the costs of insurance programs. The supply chains from China to the USA are particularly challenging from an insurance perspective and can lead to insurance gaps or breaches of compliance in the respective countries if they are not properly mapped in the insurance cover.
Opportunities and risks of the international e-commerce ecosystem
The global e-commerce ecosystem offers unprecedented opportunities, but also presents a number of challenges that require specific safeguards:
- Cyber attacks worldwide: hackers know no borders. International e-commerce companies are faced with the challenge of ensuring the protection of sensitive customer data in different regions while also taking different regulations into account.
- Variety of legal requirements: Each country has its own rules and laws in the areas of data protection, product liability and product safety. A breach can quickly lead to legal consequences and, particularly in the English-speaking world, to high claims for damages.
- Supply chain complexity: Global supply chains can be susceptible to transportation damage, delays or theft.
- Different customer expectations: Unfulfilled expectations due to cultural differences or regional characteristics can lead to reputational damage and liability risks.
- Additional insured certificates: Amazon, Shopify and other major players in e-commerce generally expect "additional insured" certificates, which they name as co-insured in their insurance contract, even if this is superfluous in Germany. What is common practice in the Anglo-Saxon world and stems from local law is unusual in our jurisdiction and unknown to many insurers. You therefore need to choose the right insurer who can issue the certificates for you to the desired extent - we will be happy to help you with this.
Our solutions for internationally operating e-commerce companies
Global cyber programs
With our cyber insurance, you are protected against data breaches, hacker attacks and IT failures - regardless of whether your company operates in Europe, the USA or Asia. We ensure that your insurance cover meets the legal requirements in all markets and tailor the international program for you so that you are comprehensively covered.
Worldwide product liability insurance
If you offer products or services worldwide, it is crucial to be protected against liability risks. This requires legally secure solutions that offer you worldwide cover and at the same time meet the requirements of the stores and your insurance certificates. The exclusions in product liability insurance in particular are often detrimental to cover for providers with a wide range of products.
Through comprehensive risk analysis, we get a picture of your activities and products and find the right insurance cover for you. As standard, we offer a precautionary clause for new risks that arise during the year, so that expansions to your product range are also covered by the insurance.
Transport insurance for international delivery routes including transport business interruption
From air freight to sea transport: we protect your goods on their way to the customer. Whether delays, damage or theft - our transport insurance minimizes your risks in a globalized supply chain. We analyze the delivery routes in detail and provide you with the right insurance cover through our international network of specialist brokers.
