The cyber insurance market has transformed. After massive payouts from ransomware and business email compromise, insurers have gotten aggressive about security requirements. Organizations are finding that their policy renewal comes with a checklist: annual penetration testing, MFA everywhere, endpoint detection, patching cadence documentation, incident response plans, and vulnerability scan results. Some insurers are outright denying coverage or hiking premiums for organizations that cannot demonstrate these controls. The challenge for most businesses is that these requirements arrive with short timelines and vague specifications. "Annual penetration test" could mean anything from a basic scan to a full red team engagement. We help you figure out exactly what your insurer needs, deliver the right assessment, and document it in a format that satisfies underwriters.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

My insurer said I need a penetration test. What exactly do they want?
Most insurers want an external and internal network penetration test conducted by a qualified third party. Some also require web application testing if you have customer-facing apps. We can review your specific insurer requirements letter and scope the exact assessment they need - no more, no less.
How fast can you deliver results for a policy renewal deadline?
We understand insurance timelines are tight. For network assessments, we can typically deliver results within 2-3 weeks of kickoff. If you have an urgent deadline, we offer expedited scheduling to meet your renewal date.
Will your report satisfy my insurer?
Yes. Our reports are structured for insurer review with executive summaries, methodology documentation, findings with severity ratings, and remediation evidence. We have experience with requirements from major carriers and can adjust the report format to match what your specific insurer expects.
Do I need to fix everything before my insurer will accept the results?
Not necessarily. Insurers want to see that you identified vulnerabilities and have a remediation plan. Critical and high findings should be addressed quickly, but having a documented timeline and plan for medium and low findings is typically sufficient. We help prioritize what needs immediate attention vs. what can be scheduled.
Can you help with the other security requirements on my insurer checklist?
Yes. Beyond penetration testing, we can help with vulnerability management programs, security awareness assessments (phishing simulations), and security posture reviews that address common insurer requirements like MFA verification, endpoint protection validation, and backup testing documentation.
