## Overview

BDI Global, LLC (doing business as BigData Insure) is a cyber insurance MGA and program manager serving small-to-medium enterprises and middle-market organizations through specialty retailers and wholesale broker networks. Founded in 2012 by underwriters, brokers, and claims specialists with combined cyber insurance experience exceeding 40 years, the company is headquartered in Chicago.

BDI Global holds approved Lloyd's of London Coverholder status, granting it delegated authority to underwrite cyber programs on behalf of Beazley plc and other Lloyd's syndicates including Tokio Marine Kiln and Talbot LTD. The firm develops custom manuscript policy language for each program rather than relying on standard forms, and bundles specialized incident response and claims handling services with coverage.

The company distributes its programs through affinity broker groups, specialty retailers with vertical expertise, and major wholesale brokers. BDI Global positions its offerings for businesses historically underserved by tailored cyber coverage, focusing on legal professionals, healthcare providers, and general SMEs. A technology platform launched in 2023 further automates the pre-bind security assessment process for qualifying accounts.
