Town clerk: insurer won’t add cyber coverage until Cushing adopts Acceptable Use or Privacy policy
Summary
Maine Municipal Property and Casualty told the town it cannot endorse a certificate to add Privacy and Network Security (cyber) liability coverage because Cushing lacks an Acceptable Use or Privacy policy; the town clerk provided two sample policies and a selectman volunteered to draft a simpler version.
Town Clerk Lisa Young told the Selectmen that Maine Municipal Property and Casualty will not endorse the coverage certificate needed to add Privacy and Network Security (cyber) liability coverage because the town does not have an Acceptable Use or Privacy policy.
Young provided two sample policies from the insurer for the board to consider. Selectman Heidi Alley offered to write a simpler version for review at the next meeting.
No vote was taken; the record shows the clerk made the board aware of the carrier’s requirement and provided materials to begin drafting an appropriate town policy.
