Get Ready for the Cyber-Insurance Questionnaire (Without Lying)

MFA, backups, EDR, patching — answer every question truthfully yes with the 90-day sprint plan.

  1. 1. Score yourself honestly first

    Walk the application marking true answers: MFA everywhere? Tested backups? EDR deployed? Patched within 30 days? Incident plan? The gaps list writes your 90-day project plan automatically.

  2. 2. Close MFA and backup gaps first

    Underwriters weight these heaviest. Authenticator MFA on email, VPN, and admin accounts plus tested 3-2-1 backups move more premium dollars than anything else you can do.

  3. 3. Document everything as evidence

    Screenshots of MFA enforcement, backup test logs, EDR console coverage, training records. Insurers increasingly verify — and claims get denied on misrepresentation, not just gaps.

Guide FAQ
