Cyber Insurance Readiness

Pay less for cyber insurance. Keep the coverage valid.

Your renewal is a negotiation — and every "no" on the insurer's questionnaire, every untested control you attest to, costs you money or coverage. We get you to the table with a costed improvement roadmap and evidence that stands up after an incident.

Every questionnaire gap costs you

Answer "no" to the insurer's best-practice controls and a risk multiplier lands on your premium. Most organisations never get shown what closing each gap would cost — or save.

Claim ✕

Misrepresentation kills claims

Attest to controls you haven't properly tested and your insurer can deny a claim after the incident investigation — exactly when you need the policy most.

Cover ?

Sub-limits and exclusions hide

Aggregate limits, sub-limits and exclusions buried in the schedule decide what actually pays out. Few policies are ever checked against real business impact.

What the engagement delivers

A focused consulting engagement — around five consulting days across three months, timed to land before your renewal date.

1

Policy Obligations Assessment

Your policy schedule, terms and questionnaire analysed. Every obligation identified, with gap recommendations delivered in an actionable memo.

2

Business Impact Analysis workshop

Key business processes, supporting systems and the real cost of short, medium and long-term disruption — the foundation for right-sized cover.

3

Policy Coverage Assessment

Sub-limits, aggregate limits and exclusions tested against your BIA, with recommendations to take into policy negotiations.

4

Premium-reduction project one-pagers

For every control gap: a costed one-pager with actions, timeline and conceptual architecture — ammunition for premium negotiations.

5

Security Posture Assessment

Your posture assessed against CSA's CCM Lite — 91 foundational controls mapped to ISO, NIST and CIS, with implementation guidance so your team can self-improve.

6

Control testing education workshop

GRC best practice for your IT team: framework selection, statements of applicability, sample sizes and evidence retention.

7

Questionnaire completion support

Complete the insurer's due diligence questionnaire accurately and defensibly — no accidental misrepresentation of your security posture.

Your team upskilled at close of engagement, and the outcomes presented directly to your board.
