Cyber Insurance Support

Save Money on Your Cyber Insurance Premiums

We help you meet the security conditions in your cyber insurance policy, so every answer on the renewal form is true.

Your Cover Only Works If the Controls Are in Place

Conditions are getting stricter

Insurers now expect MFA, monitoring and tested backups before they will pay a claim.

Forms are hard to answer

Renewal questions are technical, and a wrong answer can void your cover.

Insurance should not be a gamble

No business should find out at claim time that its cover was never valid.

We Turn Policy Conditions into Real Controls.

We work alongside insurance brokers, including our strategic partner Simcox Brokers, to map what underwriters ask to what you actually run.

Then we put the missing controls in place and monitor them, so your answers stay true all year.

What our clients say 1 / 4

“With our Security Operations Centre (SOC) in place, we now have complete visibility and 24/7/365 monitoring across all endpoints and our Office 365 ecosystem, ensuring threats are detected and mitigated before they can impact the business.”

Wayne Giles, IT Manager, Silva Care

“When it comes to cybersecurity, transparency is critical. That’s why we asked our IT support provider to work alongside an independent cybersecurity partner, giving us complete visibility, 24/7/365 monitoring, and proactive protection that’s hard to get from a single provider.”

Martin Vincent, CEO, 55.Financial

The Cost of Doing Nothing

A policy is only as strong as the controls behind it.

Claims that are refused

If a required control was missing at the time of a breach, the insurer can reduce or decline the claim.

Premiums that keep rising

Without evidence of monitoring, underwriters price in the risk and renewals get more expensive.

Cover you can't renew

Some insurers now decline businesses that cannot show basic controls such as MFA and endpoint monitoring.

A Policy That Looked Fine Until the Claim

Follow one renewal from a form filled in good faith to a refused claim, beat by beat. Then see the same year with Shield in place.

With Shield
Phase 1 of 4 The renewal form is filled in

The questions are technical, so they are answered in good faith. MFA is ticked as in place, even though a few accounts were never set up.

Cyber insurance renewal “Is MFA enabled on all accounts?” Answered: Yes
Phase 2 of 4 An attack finds the gap

Months later, an attacker logs in to one of the accounts without MFA. From there, they reach the rest of the business.

Month 4 Password reused on a shared account
Month 4 Login with no second factor
Month 4 Systems encrypted overnight
Phase 3 of 4 The claim is refused

The insurer checks the renewal form against what was actually in place. The MFA answer does not hold, so the claim is declined.
