Cyber Insurance Readiness

Background
share close

Zippie IT helps small and medium businesses in Meridian and across the Treasure Valley, Idaho get ready for cyber insurance. 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 your business is protected. 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

Cyber insurance readiness can be offered as a stand-alone option. It is also included with our managed IT, co-managed IT, vCIO and consulting engagements. Call (208) 810-1795 to talk about which fits you.
