Cybersecurity Insurance

Cyber Insurance Coverage is not Cybersecurity

When busying cyber insurance, you will be asked to prove you have comprehensive cybersecurity in place that reduces risk for your company. Many insurance companies and brokers will ask you to fill out a very detailed form and attest to the truthfulness.  You may still get coverage without proof at a much higher rate, or with many exceptions and if there is a cybersecurity event that is claimed, proof of cybersecurity preparedness will be required to process your claim.

Background

Executives involved in making cyber security insurance decisions should view the insurance as financial reaction and it will not prevent a break in company operations, performance of its services or losses of clients due to a cyber event.  Cyber Insurance along with a structured cyber program that is rooted in a cyber compliance framework is the best mitigation action any company could take to prevent, respond and recover from a cyber event.


In advance of purchasing cyber insurance, a complete cyber framework based assessment would validate and verify the actual cyber posture of the company.  It is a best practice to engage a 3rd party expert in this assessment as a confidential evaluation of risk. 


A high scoring company in risk and cyber management may be able to negotiate lower premiums and higher coverage levels.  Scoring leveraging a standards based cyber framework provides and industry measurement that provides a higher quality of measurement.
