Every time there's a huge global crisis, like the current COVID-19 outbreak, scammers and cyber criminals swoop in to exploit the situation. This is especially risky when businesses are forced to use more technology - making us more at risk from cyber crime such as data breaches, ransomware and other exploits.

At Insurance House we understand that given COVID-19 restrictions, many practitioners are now switching from face-to-face consultations to online-based video or audio services - in order to continue to provide services to their clients.

In these uncertain times, many Allied Health and beauty therapy professionals are experiencing a never before seen threat to their business and livelihood. Whilst some are being forced to temporarily close, others are looking to continue to deliver services over the phone or outdoors - these are very troubling times.

We're not just about insurance here at Insurance House. We believe it's vitally important to give back and support our local communities and others in need, which is why we actively support several charities and organisations.

With the heightening concerns surrounding the Coronavirus (COVID-19), Insurance House wants to reassure clients that our key priorities always remain the safety of our staff, maintaining a level of professional service to our clients and keeping abreast of important information.
