State of the Market Australia (Current) AUD 150m market capacity 12 Carriers Limited claims activity Limited policy take-up Mandatory notification requirement may lead to increased awareness and higher insurance penetration
State of the Market - Australian (Future) In terms of the impact of these changes on the industry, if the 2014 Bill is introduced and mandatory breach notification become a feature of the Australian privacy regime, Australia may follow in the footsteps of the United States, where class actions emanating from mass breaches of privacy obligations are occurring with increasing frequency.

Actuarial Context and Concerns Data quality and limited dataset Dynamic regulatory environment Evolving exposures Varying claims costs drivers Spill-over claims against other classes of business Accumulation scenario modelling and pricing
Case Study Scenario Partnership with primary insurance client New product with no loss experience Third party liability arising from internet operations Homogenous class of insureds
Scenario-based Modelling Approach Average data breach loss quantum based on industry research Loss quantum reduced in accordance with the actual coverage provided Loss frequency derived from industry research Assign an average loss per average insured Loss cost modified by risk factors and dimension discounting
Pricing Control Cycle Reserving / monitoring performance Managing portfolio accumulations while working with imperfect data New / improving data sources
