Cyber Insurance Readiness

Cyber insurance questions you can’t answer? Start here.

Cyber insurance applications and renewals ask direct technical questions. Is multi-factor authentication enabled for all email and remote access? Do you run endpoint protection on every machine? Are backups tested and stored separately? Do you have a written incident response plan? Is remote access restricted and monitored?

Answering “yes” when the honest answer is “not exactly” is a problem at claim time. Answering “no” costs you coverage or premium now. DriveTech reviews what your office actually has, closes the gaps the questions are asking about, and documents it so the answers are accurate.

The controls insurers ask about

Access

Multi-factor authentication on email and remote access.

Workstations

Endpoint protection on every workstation.

Backups

Backups separated from the network and actually tested.

Email

Email filtering and phishing protection.

Network

A firewall, with controlled and monitored remote access.

Response

A written incident response and recovery plan.

Inventory

An inventory of the systems and data you hold.

People

Staff security awareness training.

How it works

  1. Send the questionnaire. The actual document, not a summary of it.
  2. Review. Each technical question checked against what’s really configured in your office.
  3. Gap list. A plain-English list of what’s true, what isn’t, and what each gap would take to close.
  4. Remediation. Fix what’s fixable before the deadline; plan the rest.
  5. Documentation. Written evidence of the controls in place — for the application and for your own file.

One honest note

DriveTech doesn’t sell insurance, doesn’t advise on coverage, limits, or carriers, and won’t tell you what a policy should cost. This is about making sure the technical answers on the form are accurate and that the controls behind them exist.
