Leadership
Built by the Braly family.
Run out of The Woodlands, Texas.
Bloc Cyber was founded by the Braly family to place specialty cyber and tech E&O programs for regulated industries. Direct-line service, deep carrier relationships, and a focus on the digital risks running under every modern business.
President
Mark Braly
Mark leads Bloc Cyber’s strategy and carrier relationships. Decades of leadership across insurance, brokerage, and risk management — focused on regulated-industry programs and building plain-language cyber coverage for clients who can’t afford to guess at their policy language.
“Cyber policies shouldn’t be a puzzle. Our job is to make coverage obvious, fast to bind, and present when a client needs to make a 2 a.m. call.”
Cyber Practice Lead
Caden Braly
Caden leads day-to-day placement, underwriting submissions, and client renewals. He runs the intake process, owns carrier relationships across cyber and tech E&O markets, and is the point of contact for claims and incident response coordination.
“Most clients find out their policy has gaps at the worst possible moment. We sit with you, read the form, and make sure that moment never happens.”

How we work
From intake to bind in four measured steps.
No 120-question applications to start.
01
Risk Intake
We start with a 20-minute call to understand your stack, data, contracts, and current controls. No long questionnaires up front.
02
Market Placement
We shop your profile to ten+ cyber carriers — including specialty markets most agencies don’t touch — and benchmark terms side-by-side.
03
Policy Review
You get a plain-language breakdown of what’s covered, what’s excluded, and where we recommend raising limits or adding endorsements.
04
Renewal & Response
Same point of contact for claims, renewals, and M&A events. If something goes wrong at 2 a.m., you know who to call.
Common Questions
Cyber Liability Insurance, Explained
What does cyber insurance cover?
Cyber insurance covers the financial losses from a data breach or cyberattack. This includes breach response, legal fees, customer notification, ransomware, business interruption, and regulatory fines, depending on your policy.
Does my business really need cyber insurance?
Yes. Any business that stores customer data, processes payments, or relies on connected systems faces cyber risk. Small and mid-sized companies are frequent targets because they often have fewer defenses.
How much does cyber insurance cost?
Cost depends on your industry, revenue, data volume, and security practices. We market your risk to multiple carriers to find strong coverage at a competitive price. Request a quote for an exact figure.
What is the difference between first-party and third-party cyber coverage?
First-party coverage pays for your own losses, like data recovery and lost income. Third-party coverage pays for claims from others harmed by a breach on your systems.
How fast can I get a quote?
Most clients receive a quote in under 24 hours after we review the details of their business and exposure.
What should I do first after a cyberattack?
Contact us right away. We help you start breach response, connect you with forensic and legal support, and guide your claim so you contain the damage quickly.
