Cyber Insurance Application Prep Kit

The security questions on your application decide your premium, and a wrong answer can come back to hurt you at claim time. This kit explains each question in plain English and shows you what evidence backs up a true yes.

Answer your cyber insurance application with proof, not guesses

“Do you enforce MFA for all remote access?” sounds like a yes or no question. It is not. A yes usually means every account, every remote access path and every admin console, with no exceptions. Many businesses answer yes in good faith and find out after an incident that one VPN account or one backup console was never covered.

This kit was written by incident responders who work insurance claims. It walks through the control questions insurers commonly ask, what a true yes requires, where the usual gaps hide and what to collect so you can show your work.
