Get ready for your cyber insurance application or renewal
Insurers increasingly ask detailed security questions before they'll quote or renew: multi-factor login, endpoint protection, tested backups, patching and staff training. We put the controls in place and document them so you can answer honestly.
A simple "yes" on an application without technical verification can lead to denied claims following an incident. We help small businesses across Halifax and Nova Scotia meet insurance underwriting criteria with verifiable evidence, clear policies, and hardened configurations.
What's included in the package
We handle the technical heavy lifting, resolve security deficiencies, and provide the documentation your broker needs to negotiate the best terms.
- ✓Review of your insurer's questionnaire: Line-by-line technical audit of your carrier's specific application or renewal form.
- ✓Gap list: Written report outlining missing controls, weak default settings, and items requiring immediate remediation.
- ✓MFA and backup setup: Configuration and enforcement of multi-factor login and verified cloud backups (up to 10 users included).
- ✓Endpoint protection setup: Deployment and verification of managed antivirus/EDR software on office workstations.
- ✓Written summary of controls for your broker: A written summary of the controls in place, for you to share with your broker.
Note: We don't sell insurance or guarantee coverage decisions; that's between you and your broker. We put the technical controls in place and document them. The accuracy of your insurance application remains your responsibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about cyber insurance compliance, broker coordination, and underwriting renewals.
Do I need this if I already have insurance?
Yes. Cyber insurance policies are renewed annually, and carriers add new mandatory security prerequisites every year. Insurers now routinely deny renewals or substantially increase premiums for companies lacking enforced MFA, endpoint detection, or verified offsite backups.
Can you talk to my broker?
Yes, with your explicit authorization. We frequently review technical questionnaires directly with insurance brokers to clarify wording, verify control implementations, and help you describe your controls accurately.
Is this included in a plan?
The technical security controls are built into our IT Complete and IT Secure plans. The full written policy documentation package, incident response templates, and written summary of the controls in place are included in IT Secure, or can be purchased as a standalone $995 project.
