Cyber Insurance Readiness
Answer the Insurance Application Truthfully, and With Evidence.
Cyber insurance applications ask yes or no questions about MFA, backups, training and response plans. A wrong yes can cost you the claim. We check each answer against your real environment.
For businesses renewing or applying for cyber liability coverage.
What Does a Cyber Insurance Assessment Cover?
We analyze what your insurer requires, such as multi-factor authentication and staff training, verify the controls are actually in place, and prepare the documentation. Where a control is missing, you get a plan to close it before the application goes in.
Why Does Documentation Matter?
Because the application is a statement of fact about your business. If an incident happens and a control you said was in place was not, the claim can be at risk. Evidence collected ahead of time is what lets you answer with confidence.
What Controls Do Insurers Usually Ask About?
Commonly multi-factor authentication, endpoint detection and response, backups and recovery, patching, security awareness training and an incident response plan. Each insurer sets its own list, so we work from your actual application.

Frequently Asked Questions
4 QUESTIONSDo you sell insurance?
No. We are not an insurance broker. We help you meet and document the security requirements your insurer or broker sets.
Can this lower our premium?
Premiums are set by the insurer. What we can do is make sure your controls are real and documented, which is what underwriters ask about.
Does SMB1001 certification help with insurance?
CyberCert positions SMB1001 certification as evidence of good practice for insurers, and the current edition's Gold tier includes holding business or cyber insurance. See our CyberCert pages for the tiers.
We already filled in the application. Is it too late?
No. Checking your answers before renewal, or before a claim, is still worth doing.
