Zippie IT helps small and medium businesses in Meridian and across the Treasure Valley, Idaho get ready for cyber insurance through our cyber insurance readiness service. We review your insurer’s questionnaire, check that the controls it asks about are in place, and help you fix the gaps, so your answers are accurate and your application is ready.
Why cyber insurance readiness matters
Cyber insurance applications and renewals ask detailed technical questions about how you protect your business. Insurers commonly ask about things like multi-factor authentication, backups, software updates and email security. Answering without checking can leave you with answers that do not match what is actually in place, and that can cause problems when you need your policy most.
What we do
- Review the insurer’s questionnaire. We go through what your insurer is asking.
- Check your controls. We check controls such as multi-factor authentication and backups against your real environment.
- Fix the gaps, or document them. We fix the gaps we find, or provide a detailed remediation document so you or your team can.
What you receive
- A findings report showing what we found.
- The questionnaire, completed based on our findings.
- A remediation document listing what to fix and in what order.
Stand-alone, or included
We can offer cyber insurance readiness as a stand-alone option, and we also include it with our managed IT, co-managed IT, vCIO and consulting engagements. Call (208) 810-1795 to talk about which fits you. Insurers also ask about monitoring and logging; see our Advanced Cybersecurity service.
