Insurance Readiness

Your Cyber Insurance Application Keeps Getting Rejected

The Problem

You're stuck in a loop:

  1. You apply for cyber insurance → Carrier sends a 40-question security questionnaire
  2. You answer truthfully → Application denied or quoted at 3x the price
  3. They say you need "controls" → No explanation of which ones or how to implement them
  4. You call IT vendors → They quote $50K for tools you may not need
  5. You reapply next year → Same rejection, higher premiums, more frustration

The real problem: Carriers reference frameworks (NIST, ISO 27001) you've never seen. Your IT person speaks a different language. You don't know which gaps matter most.

The Solution

Insurance Readiness Assessment + Targeted Remediation

1. Framework-Aligned Security Assessment (5 business days)

  • Evaluated against NIST Cybersecurity Framework (what carriers use)
  • 30+ security domains assessed
  • Current posture score + gap analysis
  • Prioritized by what underwriters weigh most heavily

2. Insurance Readiness Report (10-15 pages)

  • Executive summary in plain language
  • Control gaps that block approval
  • Quick wins you can implement before next application
  • 90-day remediation roadmap for full approval
  • Documented evidence for questionnaire responses

3. Targeted Remediation (30-90 days)

  • Implement critical controls first (MFA, encryption, backup testing)
  • Document policies carriers require
  • Set up monitoring and logging
  • Conduct security awareness training
  • Create incident response plan

4. Application Support

  • Help answer questionnaire accurately
  • Provide evidence documents for underwriter review
  • Coordinate with your insurance broker
  • Validate coverage terms match your risk profile
