Cyber Insurance Compliance Assessments
Cyber insurers are tightening security requirements. Many businesses are finding their applications denied or premiums increased due to security gaps. We assess your controls against common insurer requirements and help you qualify for the coverage you need.
Insurance Requirements Have Changed
After years of significant ransomware losses, cyber insurers have dramatically increased their security requirements. What used to be a simple application is now a detailed technical questionnaire.
Many businesses are discovering that answering "no" to key security questions results in denied coverage, excluded claims, or significantly higher premiums.
We help you understand what insurers are looking for and get your security controls in place before you apply or renew.
Common Security Requirements
These are the controls that appear most frequently on cyber insurance applications. We assess your coverage in each area.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Most insurers now require MFA for email, remote access, and privileged accounts. We assess your MFA coverage and implementation.
Backup & Recovery
Insurers want to see tested, isolated backups that can restore operations after ransomware. We evaluate your backup strategy and test procedures.
Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)
Traditional antivirus is no longer sufficient. Insurers increasingly require EDR solutions that can detect and respond to advanced threats.
Email Security
Email remains the top attack vector. We assess your email filtering, anti-phishing controls, and user training programs.
Privileged Access Management
Admin accounts are prime targets. We evaluate how you manage, monitor, and protect privileged access across your environment.
Security Awareness Training
Many insurers require documented security training programs. We assess your training program and help demonstrate compliance.
Network Security
Firewalls, segmentation, and remote access controls all factor into insurance requirements. We evaluate your network security posture.
Incident Response Plan
Having a documented, tested incident response plan is increasingly required. We assess your IR capabilities and documentation.

Important Considerations
We're not insurance brokers. We assess and improve your security controls. For insurance policy advice, coverage decisions, and claims, work with a licensed insurance professional.
Requirements vary by insurer. Each insurance company has different requirements and questionnaires. We assess against common requirements, but your specific insurer may have additional needs.
Honesty on applications is critical. Misrepresenting your security controls on an insurance application can void your coverage. We help you accurately document what you have and close gaps where needed.
