Cyber Insurance Security Assessment
Documented Proof of Security Controls Your Cyber Insurance Carrier Is Requiring.
Underwriters now require evidence — not attestations — of your controls. Risk72 generates analyst-verified documentation that supports your application and holds up when a claim is filed.
- Evidence of external vulnerability assessment
- Internal network security testing
- Documented security controls inventory
- Risk score with remediation roadmap
- Third-party analyst verification
- Executive summary for underwriter review
Why This Is Getting Harder
Cyber Insurance Carriers Are Tightening Underwriting Requirements Every Year.
Applications now require detailed, documented evidence of security controls — MFA deployment, email security configuration, backup and recovery practices, patch management, and incident response planning. Checkbox attestations are no longer sufficient; carriers want proof.
Organizations without documented risk postures are being denied coverage outright, excluded from ransomware coverage, or charged significantly higher premiums that eliminate the value of having the policy at all.
When a claim occurs, underwriters investigate what controls existed at the time of policy purchase. Undocumented, overstated, or non-existent controls can void your coverage at exactly the moment you need it most.
What Underwriters Are Evaluating
Five Security Controls Cyber Insurance Carriers Require Documentation Of
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Enforcement
Documented evidence that MFA is enforced on email, remote access (VPN, RDP), and privileged accounts — not just deployed but actively required. Risk72 tests and documents your MFA posture across your environment.
Email Security Controls (SPF, DKIM, DMARC)
Many carriers run automated checks on your email security records before quoting. Risk72’s external scan verifies your SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configuration and includes the results in your documented report.
Tested, Isolated Backup & Recovery
Ransomware coverage increasingly requires documented evidence that backups are tested, air-gapped or offsite, and isolated from primary systems. Risk72’s posture assessment documents your backup and recovery controls.
Vulnerability & Patch Management Program
A documented process for identifying and remediating known vulnerabilities in your external-facing systems and internal software stack. Risk72’s external pentest and CVE intelligence produces exactly this evidence.
Written Incident Response Plan
Carriers want evidence of documented incident response procedures — who gets called, what happens in the first 24 hours, and how the organization recovers. Risk72’s posture assessment evaluates and documents your IR readiness.
How Risk72 Helps
Third-Party Verified Documentation That Underwriters Respect.
Tests the Controls Carriers Look For
Risk72 checks the exact controls underwriters evaluate: email security records, SSL/TLS configuration, exposed services, known CVEs in your external footprint, MFA posture, and backup practices. The report documents both what was found and what the expected standard is.
Human-Analyst Certification
Every Risk72 report is reviewed and certified by a credentialed cybersecurity analyst before delivery. The resulting documentation carries the weight of professional third-party review — not raw automated scanner output that an underwriter will dismiss.
Remediate Before Renewal
Run your assessment before your renewal date. Identify critical gaps, remediate them, re-run, and submit your renewal with a documented risk score and evidence of improvement. This is exactly the risk reduction story carriers want to see.
