Applying for or renewing commercial cyber liability insurance? Underwriters now require verified technical controls before binding coverage. Review the 5 baseline requirements and download the complete readiness protocol.
Carriers like Travelers, Nationwide, and Chubb will deny or heavily restrict policies without proof of these technical controls in place:
MFA must be enforced on Microsoft 365/Google Workspace, remote desktop (RDP), VPNs, and cloud accounting software. SMS verification is increasingly rejected; app-based authenticator or hardware keys are standard.
Backups must be physically or logically segregated from the production network. If ransomware strikes, the backup copies cannot be encrypted or deleted by the attacker.
Traditional static antivirus is no longer sufficient for cyber underwriting. Underwriters require active behavioral EDR monitored by a 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC).
Policy applications now ask for documented training frequency. Businesses must demonstrate regular simulated phishing exercises and documented employee completion records.
Documented chain-of-command protocols outlining forensic containment, legal notification obligations under Arizona law, and rapid recovery steps.
When your broker sends the cyber application questionnaire, having these artifacts pre-assembled prevents underwriting delays:
A tenant-wide administrative export showing 100% active MFA status across all licensed corporate user accounts.
Automated daily screenshot verification logs proving successful backup snapshots and offsite cloud immutability.
Quarterly patch compliance reports showing critical OS and third-party vulnerabilities patched within 14-30 days.
