Why cyber insurance readiness matters
Carriers require proof your security controls actually work before they bind coverage and before they offer favorable terms. Being “insurance-ready” means you can apply with confidence, get the coverage you need at a better price, and avoid last-minute surprises during underwriting or a claim. We make readiness practical so you spend less time filling application forms and more time running the business safely.
Key considerations — what underwriters look for
- Multi-factor authentication and identity control — strong identity and access practices are table stakes.
- Endpoint protection and detection — effective endpoint controls plus monitored alerts reduce risk in the eyes of insurers.
- Backups and recovery testing — reliable, encrypted backups and tested recovery plans are required for coverage and claims.
- Patch and vulnerability management — timely remediation and proof of patching show you close real risk.
- Logging and evidence — centralized logs, retention, and the ability to produce incident timelines are critical for both underwriting and claims.
- Incident response and claims readiness — a clear incident plan, roles, and a tested process demonstrate you can limit loss when an event happens.
- Third-party and supply chain controls — carriers will ask how you vet and manage vendors that touch sensitive systems.

Being insurance-ready is more than getting a policy.
