Cyber insurance readiness and control evidence
Cyber insurance applications ask direct questions about multi-factor authentication, endpoint protection, backups, patching and incident response. Answers are only as good as the evidence behind them. This group covers how our team collects that evidence from the systems the business already runs, so the answers on the form match what is actually configured.
What we do
- Application question review against real settings
- MFA enforcement evidence
- Endpoint and backup coverage reports
- Restore test records
- Patch status snapshots
- Privileged access inventory
- Dated evidence packs
- Gap remediation plan
Our team works with Microsoft Secure Score to see which Microsoft 365 and Defender controls are on, with Microsoft Entra Conditional Access to show where multi-factor authentication is enforced, with Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager to track assessments and improvement actions, and with Prowler to check cloud accounts against benchmarks. We turn the results into a dated evidence pack and a short gap list with owners.
This links to our Cybersecurity and Managed IT services. An evidence pack supports an application; it does not decide coverage, and it is not an insurance, legal or audit opinion. Questions about policy terms go to the customer's broker and counsel. These are tools our team has experience with, not partnerships.

How we use Cyber insurance readiness and control evidence for clients
Frequently asked questions
Direct answers to the questions we hear most. Something else on your mind?
Send us a messageDoes an evidence pack guarantee cyber insurance coverage?
No. An evidence pack helps your answers on the application match what is actually configured. It does not decide coverage or price, and it is not an insurance, legal or audit opinion. Policy terms are a matter for your broker and counsel.
What do underwriters usually ask us to show?
Application questions commonly cover these areas: multi-factor authentication, endpoint protection, backups, patching, privileged accounts, email security, incident response. We collect dated reports for each from the systems you already run, so the form and the settings agree.
What if the evidence shows a gap?
We put it on a short gap list with an owner and a date, so you can fix it or answer the question honestly. Do not answer yes to a control that is only partly in place. Ask your broker how a partial control should be described.
Do you need to change our systems to collect the evidence?
Usually not. We read settings and reports from tools you already have, such as Microsoft 365, Entra and your cloud accounts. Any change to fix a gap is scoped and approved with you first.
