Free cyber insurance checklist
Insurers now ask detailed questions about your security before they quote or renew. Check off the 21 controls they ask about most, see your readiness score, and get a gap report to close before your renewal.
These are the controls cyber insurance applications ask about most often. Your readiness score updates as you go.
How it works
Cyber insurance underwriting has shifted from a short questionnaire to a detailed review of your controls. Missing MFA, no endpoint detection and response, or backups that live on the same network can mean higher premiums, lower limits, exclusions, or a declined application.
Many policies also make coverage depend on the answers you give. If an application says a control is in place and it is not, a claim can be disputed. Answer carefully, and keep evidence.
Next steps
Work through the list with whoever manages your IT. Anything you cannot confirm should stay unchecked. Your gap report lists every unchecked control with a short explanation of why underwriters care about it.
Give yourself at least 60 to 90 days before renewal. Controls like MFA and EDR can often be rolled out in weeks, but backup redesigns and policy work take longer.
FAQ
The most common requirements are MFA on email, remote access, and admin accounts, endpoint detection and response, offsite or immutable backups, regular patching, security awareness training, and an incident response plan.
It cannot guarantee a lower premium, but closing the gaps insurers ask about is the most reliable way to improve your terms and avoid exclusions.
