Cyber insurance is changing, and the questions on the proposal form have got sharper.
Insurers increasingly want evidence that basic controls are genuinely in place and working, not a tick in a box saying they are.
What they usually ask about
- Multi-factor authentication, and where it is enforced
- Backup protection, including whether restores are tested
- Patch management on a schedule rather than when someone remembers
- Security awareness training across the team
- Endpoint protection on every device
- A written incident response plan
Good security does more than reduce risk. It means you can answer confidently when an insurer, an auditor or a client asks what protections you have, and point at something real.
Because “we think we are covered” is a very different position from being ready.
