Not every data point tells the same story, either. The UK government’s most recent Cyber Security Breaches Survey found the proportion of businesses holding some form of cyber insurance had risen sharply, from 64% to 75% year-on-year — a much rosier figure than GlobalData’s SME-specific number. The gap between the two is likely a matter of definition, a broad “some form of cover” question against a narrower, dedicated cyber policy, but it’s a reminder that “UK uptake” isn’t a single, agreed number depending on who’s measuring it and which slice of the market they’re looking at.
