Explore Cyber Insurance ReadinessApplications and questionnaires commonly ask whether you enforce multi-factor authentication (especially for email, remote access, and privileged accounts), run endpoint detection and response (EDR), keep tested and segregated backups, filter email for phishing and malware, patch on a regular cadence, have a written incident response plan, and run security awareness training. This tool is built around those commonly-requested controls.
No. This is a self-assessment to help you prepare before you apply, not an insurance quote or a guarantee. Actual underwriting, coverage terms, and pricing are decided by insurers based on their own questionnaires, your industry, revenue, and claims history.
Yes, the readiness check is free and requires no signup. It is meant to help you spot and close obvious gaps before an underwriter does.
Start with the controls insurers most often treat as baseline: MFA everywhere (particularly email and remote access), EDR on endpoints, and tested backups kept separate from production. This tool flags your weakest of these first so you can close them before an application forces the issue.
