Cyber Insurance Readiness Consultancy
Prepare the technical controls and evidence behind your cyber insurance application or renewal. We help you understand gaps, organise accurate information and build a practical improvement plan before insurer questions become a last-minute exercise.
Our Approach to Insurance Readiness
An insurer's questions need to be understood in the context of your organisation and the relevant policy process. We review the technical questionnaire with your team, identify the systems and entities involved and agree what evidence is needed. Your broker or insurer clarifies policy terms and interpretation where required.
Everything You Need From Insurance Readiness
- Identity, MFA, privileged access and account lifecycle
- Endpoint and email protection and their actual coverage
- Configuration, maintenance and vulnerability-management responsibilities
- Backup protection, recovery arrangements and available test evidence
- Incident roles, reporting and escalation readiness
- Staff awareness and applicable training evidence
- Suppliers, remote access and important external dependencies
- Governance, exceptions, ownership and continuing control operation
Review controls and evidence
The areas above are reviewed depending on the agreed scope. Record the difference between a policy requirement, a deployed control and evidence that the control operates as described. Identify unknowns and exceptions explicitly.
Close gaps before declaring the position
We produce a prioritised action plan, with owners and the evidence needed to demonstrate completion. Some work may be completed internally; other items may require a separately agreed technical project or co-managed service.
Questionnaire answers must accurately describe the current position. An action planned for later is not a control operating today. Your organisation reviews and approves its declarations.
Make risk and insurance decisions together
Insurance can transfer some financial consequences within agreed terms. It does not prevent incidents or remove the need to manage security and resilience. We help explain remaining technical exposure and the improvement options that require a business decision.
Authorised leadership retains responsibility for risk acceptance. Your broker or insurer advises on cover, exclusions, conditions and policy choices.
What a readiness engagement can deliver
- An agreed questionnaire and technical scope.
- A control and evidence review.
- Gaps, exceptions and questions needing clarification.
- A prioritised remediation plan.
- An evidence index with owners and review dates.
- A review of the technical information prepared by your team.
- A plan for maintaining relevant controls through renewal and change.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you complete the insurer questionnaire for us?+
We can help review technical questions and supporting evidence. Your organisation remains responsible for accurate answers and approval; policy questions are clarified with your broker or insurer.
Does ISO 27001 guarantee cyber insurance acceptance?+
No. Certification may support assurance evidence, but underwriting requirements and policy decisions remain with the insurer.
Can this help before a renewal?+
Yes. A scoped review can identify changed systems, gaps and evidence that needs refreshing before your organisation prepares its renewal information.
Will you guarantee a lower premium?+
No. Premiums, acceptance and policy terms are determined by the insurer. The consultancy focuses on technical readiness, evidence and risk improvement.
Can you implement the improvements?+
Implementation can be agreed separately or through an appropriate co-managed scope. We distinguish assessed findings, planned work and completed controls.
