GRC + Cyber Insurance Readiness · 2026
Most businesses buy cyber insurance and hope for the best. We help you actually qualify, reduce premiums, and survive a claim — using a perspective no one else brings: years inside the insurance industry.
Why It Matters
When a claim hits, adjusters investigate your controls before they pay out. I was one of those adjusters. Now I help you prepare for that moment — before it happens.
After 4+ years evaluating claims at a large insurance carrier, I know the exact gaps insurers use to reduce or deny payouts.
Insurance underwriters have a checklist. I write policies to meet it, aligned to NIST CSF and CIS Controls.
You'll receive documentation that makes sense to your team, insurer, and auditor. Clear, actionable, professional.
Enterprise GRC consultants charge enterprise prices. Your 10–50 person company needs a right-sized solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
It means having the security controls, policies, and documentation in place that insurers expect before they'll issue a policy or pay out a claim — things like MFA, an incident response plan, and training records.
Most SMBs handle some form of sensitive data, whether that's customer payment info, employee records, or client files. Cyber insurance helps cover breach costs, but only if your business meets the insurer's requirements when it counts.
Often because the actual controls in place don't match what was represented on the application, or because basics like MFA, tested backups, or an incident response plan weren't in place at the time of the incident.
A standalone Readiness Audit typically takes 5–7 business days. The full Readiness Package, including policy documents and insurer-facing materials, generally takes 2–3 weeks.
