All businesses big or small dread those yearly checklist questionnaires in order to comply for cyber insurance renewals. Take the guess work out of managing your cyber liability compliance requirements. Don’t suffer a denied insurance claim as a result of a failed post-breach audit.
Cyber Insurance Readiness Risks
Understanding the risks associated with cyber liability insurance can be daunting. Tracking your security requirements can also be very time consuming. The rise in data breaches and ransomware attacks has put the insurance industry on notice. This means more complex requirements that are more technical than ever before. Insurance companies started hiring experts in IT and cybersecurity so they better understand the implications of internal business networks. As a result, in the event of a breach, the insurance company will require they perform an audit of your IT security policies, compliance evidence, and documented procedures to find any reason to deny the claim.
Will your cyber insurance claim be approved?
As a business owner or manager, the last thing you want to deal with during a breach is to battle with the insurance company over a rejected claim. Depending on your organizational structure, Owners, IT managers, CFO’s, CTO’s, CIO’s, and even office managers could be in the hot seat in case of a breach. Our Cyber insurance readiness platform not only prepares your organization for the audit but also helps keep up with it on an ongoing basis. The purpose of our service is to reduce the need of a claim in the first place by implementing, enforcing, and monitoring policies. Furthermore, if a breach does occur, our portal has all the compliance evidence organized to fast track any security audits needed for claims.

Cyber liability insurance policies may include exclusions or limitations on the types of losses or damages covered, as well as the amount of coverage provided.
The cost of cyber liability insurance premiums and deductibles can be expensive, especially for small businesses with limited budgets.
Some cyber liability insurance policies may not cover all types of cyber threats or may not provide sufficient coverage for certain types of losses or damages.
Companies that do not conduct thorough risk assessments may not have a clear understanding of their specific cyber risks, which can lead to purchasing inadequate coverage or purchasing coverage that is unrelated to the actual risks.
Cyber liability insurance claims can be complex and require detailed documentation, which can be time-consuming and challenging for businesses.
Even if a business has cyber liability insurance coverage, a cyber attack can still result in significant reputational damage that is not covered by the policy.
