Cyber Insurance Renewals Have Changed — Here’s What That Means
Getting cyber insurance used to be straightforward. Most businesses just had to show they had antivirus, a firewall, and some kind of backup plan. Carriers rarely asked for proof, and renewals were routine. That’s no longer the case.
Today, insurers are under pressure from rising claims and stricter underwriting standards. They now require evidence of strong cybersecurity controls before they’ll approve or renew a policy — and that includes technical safeguards and documented processes. Without them, you risk higher premiums, limited coverage, or flat-out denial.
What Carriers Expect
Cybersecurity Essentials for Insurance
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Implementing MFA is absolutely critical for verifying user identities and preventing unauthorized access. With AI-assisted cybercrime on the rapid rise, it’s often the first line of defense.
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)
EDR solutions monitor activity on devices like laptops and servers to quickly detect, contain, and respond to cyber threats. Think of it as a security guard that’s always watching for suspicious behavior and ready to take action before damage is done. EDR is essential for spotting threats that traditional antivirus tools miss.
Regular Backups
Do you backup your data daily, hourly, in real-time? Where is it stored: in the same location, off-premises, in the cloud? Is it ran automatically or do you do it manually? How long is the data stored for? These are some of the questions you need to know answers to, because hardware failure, and other ways to lose data are never and “if” but a “when”.
Patching and Updates
Stay protected against vulnerabilities by regularly applying software patches and updates. As the speed with which new cyberthreats like viruses and exploits get created is accelerating, outdated software and firmware is a sure way to get hacked, even if you have other precautions in place.
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) Plan
Do you know what steps to take in case of a ransomware attack, data loss, power outage or fire, including where things are, who you need to contact, and who needs to do what to get you back up to operational in shortest amount of time?
Backup Testing
It’s not enough to have a backup, or even a backup of a backup if they’re not tested regularly. It’s like having a fire extinguisher but not knowing where it is, how to access it, or whether it’s too old to work if you need it.
