Cyber and Fraud Protection

Passive houses are not only efficient, they are often also smart homes. Smart homes rely on Internet-connected networks, Internet of Things (IoT) devices and 24-7-365 communications enabling you to manage and monitor your home. 

Smart home systems provide insight into the energy efficiency of your home, as well as greater control of lighting, home electronics, entertainment systems and data connectivity. However, increased interconnectivity is a trade-off… IoT systems create a wider “attack surface” through which cyber malefactors’ penetration testing may find a way into your home network.3

High-net worth individuals are often at greater risk of being targeted for cyber crime due to their wealth and complex lives. Insist on insurance that protects your family and your home in the event of a cyber event such as:

  • Offline fraud

  • Cyber extortion (ransomware)

  • Personal data attack

  • Home automation system attack

  • Phishing attack Identity theft

Cyber insurance not only protects you, but also provides professional help if you become a victim, helping you assess, prevent and respond to fraud and cyber threats.

Cyber insurance can also provide protection for liability in the event that claims or lawsuits are brought against you for cyber-related personal injury or property damage.4

Mold and Flood Protection

An extremely tight building envelope is synonymous with the nature of passive house. If unseen moisture from a leaky plumbing fixture, appliance or foundation goes unseen it can create a mold issue

Optional mold and flood protection provide you with the additional peace of mind that comes with knowing that you’re covered in the event of an unseen, but potentially costly, threat.
