- [Deepfake Drama and the Need for Cyber Insurance](https://gauntletgroup.com/deepfake-drama-and-the-need-for-cyber-insurance/): Series 3 of popular TV drama, The Capture, has recently ended and again highlighted the threats posed by deepfake technology in a gripping and tense way. But how are such threats creating dramas for everyday SMEs on a daily basis, thanks to the sophistication of cybercrime? Why does this make cyber risk management and cyber insurance essential?
- [Why Might You Need Management Liability Insurance?](https://gauntletgroup.com/why-might-you-need-management-liability-insurance/): “The buck stops with you”. That’s long been a mantra regarding decision-making in the business world. The problem for many directors, managers and business owners is that this same mantra is now increasingly being applied within legal contexts. This can catapult them towards legal action and all the associated eye-watering costs of defending a case.
- [Is Personal Accident and Business Travel Cover Needed in 2026?](https://gauntletgroup.com/is-personal-accident-and-business-travel-cover-needed-in-2026/): Corporate travel is now more or less exceeding pre-pandemic levels. Businesses are wishing to do business face-to-face again and tariff wars have made a search for new markets an essential move for some organisations. Driving much of the corporate travel growth are smaller businesses, sending employees overseas for training, seminars and conferences, with AI topics often being a theme within this international learning forum.
- [Resolve to Become a Tougher Cyber Crime Business Target](https://gauntletgroup.com/resolve-to-become-a-tougher-cyber-crime-business-target/): If there is one New Year resolution that British businesses need to make before the end of 2025, it is to make themselves “as hard a target as possible” for cyber criminals.  Why?  Well, it’s what the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has told them to do.
- [Age Discrimination and Why You Need Employment Practices Liability Insurance](https://gauntletgroup.com/age-discrimination-and-why-you-need-employment-practices-liability-insurance/): How well-protected is your business against a discrimination tribunal?  You may answer that by pointing to your equal opportunities and inclusion and diversity policies with regard to ethnicity, race or gender.  You may highlight your disability practices.  Worryingly, relatively few businesses will even reference the greatest area of discrimination that we have within today’s workplace, when discussing their DEI strategies.  That is ageism and this is just one reason why ageism tribunals are a ticking time-bomb against which businesses need to have Employment Practices Liability Insurance protection.
- [Private Medical Insurance Boom Probably Set to Continue](https://gauntletgroup.com/private-medical-insurance-boom-probably-set-to-continue/): Private medical insurance trends, identified in an independent survey commissioned by Gauntlet Group in August 2023, appear to have predicted the situation we witnessed in 2024.  On that basis, they perhaps also underline the role private medical insurance has to play in the UK economy going forward.
- [Why Veterinary Insurance Provides Continuity of Much-appreciated Vet Services](https://gauntletgroup.com/why-veterinary-insurance-provides-continuity-of-much-appreciated-vet-services/): April is National Pet Month – a time to celebrate our love for our pets and the companionship they provide.  It’s also a time to perhaps reflect on where our pets would be without veterinary care and how veterinary practice insurance provides the business continuity that ensures veterinary care is available to our pets, when we need it.
- [Martyn’s Law:Terrorism Insurance and Risk Measures for Businesses](https://gauntletgroup.com/martyns-law-and-terrorism-insurance-and-risk-measures-for-businesses/): Martyn’s Law became part of UK legislation on April 3, when Royal Assent was achieved for a piece of landmark anti-terror legislation also known as the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act. Named after Manchester Arena terror victim, Martyn Hett, this new legislation will bridge a gap in everyday defences against terrorism. So what sorts of terrorism risk measures will more businesses now need to take?
- [How Computer Insurance Can Prevent Tears Over Liquid Keyboard Spillages](https://gauntletgroup.com/how-computer-insurance-can-prevent-tears-over-liquid-keyboard-spillages/): April 12 marked National Deskfast Day – a day on which to celebrate workers who have their breakfast at their desk.  Whilst that is seen as a sign of diligence, is it really such a great idea from an insurance point of view?  And if you do this, should you make sure you have computer insurance in place first?
- [Why it’s Time For Businesses to Love a ‘Local Broker’](https://gauntletgroup.com/why-its-time-for-businesses-to-love-a-local-broker/): If you are a well-established business, particularly one in a sector that is a little gritty or niche, you may be suffering a little heartache as we approach Valentine’s Day.  If you are a newish business, you may not have experienced the right sort of love at all.  In either case, the love you are missing or lacking is that of a dedicated local  commercial insurance broker.  Many local brokers have disappeared off the map, swallowed up by big insurance conglomerates, often with American or overseas ownership.  As a result, many businesses, whether in manufacturing, engineering, professional services, transport and distribution, property, or something else, have lost the personal insurance service that made such a difference.

- [Property Owners Insurance – What You Need to be Thinking About](https://gauntletgroup.com/property-owners-insurance-what-you-need-to-be-thinking-about/): Property owners insurance can be a little complicated to arrange.  Firstly, property portfolio owners face numerous risks.  Some relate to the property.  Fire, flood and water damage are three instantly springing to mind and could be particular threats for unoccupied properties.  Others emanate from tenants  – such as malicious or accidental damage, and theft of landlords’ contents.  Don’t worry.
