Would Your Insurer Pay? A Ransomware Claim, Hour by Hour
A breach coach, a broker, a ransom negotiator and an incident responder walk through a ransomware claim hour by hour: what the policy covers, whether to pay, and who must be told. Built on what happened at M&S, Co-op and Jaguar Land Rover.
What really happened
M&S: £131.3m in costs, £100m back
Marks & Spencer's results for the year to March 2026 put its incident costs at £131.3m against £100.0m of insurance proceeds.
JLR had no finished cyber policy
Production stopped for about five weeks. The Cyber Monitoring Centre estimated the UK cost at £1.9bn, and JLR was reportedly still negotiating its cover when it was hit.
The median payment halved
Coveware's second quarter 2026 figures: median payment $150,000, down 50%, while the average rose to $1.88m.
The clocks do not wait for the insurer
SEC Item 1.05 gives four business days after a materiality decision. CISA's CIRCIA final rule went to the White House in October 2026.
