What Cyber Liability Insurance Requirements Apply in Arkansas?

What Is Cyber Insurance?

Cyber insurance can help pay covered response costs and claims against your business after a cyber incident. If your business relies on data, software or outside providers, compare response limits, vendor outages and approval rules. Read the national Cyber liability guide.

What Should You Watch for With Cyber Insurance in Arkansas?

• A Harm Finding Starts the State-Filing Clock

  For a breach affecting more than 1,000 individuals, § 4-110-105(b)(2) directs the Attorney General filing to the person or business required to disclose under (b)(1), which describes a data maintainer notifying an owner or licensee. The clause does not clearly extend that filing duty to every data owner, while the Attorney General’s general guidance is broader. Ask counsel or the Attorney General to resolve who files for your data arrangement; do not assume the contract alone settles the statutory question. ¹

• Keep the Investigation File for Five Years

  For a breach determination under § 4-110-105, Arkansas requires a written determination and supporting documentation to be kept for five years. Ask whether your incident team preserves the determination and supporting material in a form your business can retrieve later. ^1,2

• The Attorney General Can Request Records

  After a written request from the Arkansas Attorney General, you must send the breach determination and supporting documentation within 30 days. Check that your policy’s response support includes retrieving and preparing those records on that timetable. ^1,2

• Biometric Data Is Included in the Definition

  For a qualifying Arkansas personal-information record and breach, § 4-110-103(7)(E) includes biometric data generated by automatic measurements of biological characteristics, listing fingerprints, faceprints, retinal or iris scans, hand geometry, voiceprint analysis, and DNA. Only the residual category of other unique biological characteristics is limited to those used to uniquely authenticate someone accessing a system or account. If you store biometrics, ask whether your incident inventory captures these statutory examples and how they are used. ¹

Which Cyber Insurance Providers Have Documented Arkansas Licenses?

These providers publish a national listing for Cyber liability; the state records document licenses for the entities and roles shown below. Some records rely on company-reported information rather than independent regulator verification. A national listing does not confirm the product is available in Arkansas. Check the regulator’s license lookup and confirm state availability for your business when requesting a quote.

• At-Bay

  At-Bay Insurance Services LLC

  Insurance producer, Surplus-lines broker · checked 2026-09-28

  At-Bay’s license page lists P&C producer and surplus-lines broker license numbers for all 50 states and the District of Columbia. These are company disclosures and do not establish product availability in each jurisdiction. ¹⁰

  At-Bay offers primary and excess cyber insurance for businesses with revenue up to $5 billion.

• Coalition

  Coalition Insurance Solutions, Inc.

  Insurance producer, Surplus-lines broker · checked 2026-09-28

  Coalition’s license page lists producer and surplus-lines licenses for Coalition Insurance Solutions, Inc. in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The page separately lists insurers; this record covers the brokerage entity only. ¹¹

  Coalition offers cyber insurance.

• Corgi

  Corgi Insurance Services, Inc.

  Insurance producer · checked 2026-09-28

  Corgi’s company producer-license table lists 50 jurisdictions: 49 states and the District of Columbia, including DC license 3003091619. New Mexico does not appear in the table and is not included here; the omission does not establish that Corgi is unlicensed there. The company-reported table has no stated as-of date and does not establish product availability. ¹²

  Corgi lists cyber insurance among its business insurance offerings.

• Hiscox

  Hiscox Insurance Company Inc.

  Insurer · checked 2026-09-28

  Hiscox’s U.S. company information states that Hiscox Insurance Company Inc. is licensed in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. This is company-reported insurer authority for this entity and does not establish which company issues every Hiscox-branded product. ¹³

  Hiscox offers cyber insurance for small businesses.

• TechInsurance

  Specialty Program Group LLC

  Insurance producer · checked 2026-09-28

  TechInsurance’s current licensing page names Specialty Program Group LLC / SPG Insurance Solutions and lists state license numbers, but labels Rhode Island “Individual licenses” rather than identifying a license for the named agency. RI is omitted because this disclosure does not establish agency authority there; this is a search limitation, not an assertion that the company is unlicensed. The remaining state entries are company-reported and are not an insurance product availability map. ¹⁵

  TechInsurance arranges cyber insurance for small businesses.

• Vouch

  Vouch Specialty Insurance Services, LLC

  Insurance producer, Surplus-lines broker · checked 2026-09-28

  Vouch’s licenses page, effective January 16, 2025, lists producer licenses in all 50 states and DC. Its separate surplus-lines table includes Idaho number 870820, while a footnote says Georgia and Idaho do not issue agency-level surplus-lines licenses. Because those statements conflict for Idaho, this record keeps Idaho producer-only and does not treat the table number as established agency surplus-lines authority. The page is company-reported and does not establish product availability. ¹⁶

  Vouch lists cyber liability in its technology-company programs.

Surplus-Lines Tax and Stamping Office in Arkansas

Reported tax rate. 4% when Arkansas is the insured's home state ^6,7,9

Arkansas's broker filing instructions set a 4% surplus-lines tax. Federal law assigns nonadmitted-insurance regulation and tax to the insured’s home state; for a multistate policy, ask your broker to show the home state and the premium allocation used for the Arkansas filing. Arkansas law requires the contract to disclose that the state's property-and-casualty guaranty protection does not apply.

What Should You Ask Before Buying Cyber Insurance in Arkansas?

1. How does the response team record when we determine that harm to Arkansas customers is reasonably likely?
2. Will the policy pay for retrieving and producing our five-year breach file if the Arkansas Attorney General asks for it?
3. Does the notice service account for the Attorney General filing being due with consumer notice or within 45 days, whichever comes first?
4. Does our incident inventory distinguish listed biometric identifiers from other biological measurements, and record whether those other measurements authenticate account or system access?
