Taking the Headache out of Cyber Security Insurance

Taking the Headache out of Cyber Security Insurance

Securing the right cyber insurance policy is no longer just a matter of signing a basic document. Insurance companies are increasingly requiring technical proof that your business data is locked down and secure before they will provide cover.

We want to share a recent example of how we helped a client navigate these changing rules to keep their business safe and compliant.

A Real World Requirement

Recently, we worked with a client who runs a business with a high need for privacy protection of their clients. That is actually a requirement we all have, so the message is apt for everyone.

To renew their cyber security insurance, their provider introduced a strict new requirement. The business needed to completely disable the ability for any staff member to plug in a USB drive and copy sensitive data.

In the past, controlling physical USB ports across an entire office would have been a tedious and disruptive process. Today, we use much smarter tools to get the job done quietly and efficiently so your team can focus on their work.

The Seamless Solution

To solve this for our client, we utilised SentinelOne, which is our standard advanced endpoint protection platform.

• Immediate Action: Using a specific feature included in SentinelOne, we were able to remotely disable access to any USB drive plugged into their office computers.
• Zero Disruption: The team could continue their daily work without any interruptions or frustrating downtime.
• Instant Compliance: The business met their insurance requirements immediately, keeping their sensitive client data perfectly secure.

Beyond Cyber Insurance

Our advice is to investigate the need and degree of Cyber Insurance for your business and circumstances. What Cyber Insurance requirements are showing us is that having insurance isn't the answer, it's the fallback when things go wrong. Just like having a fire extinguisher when the fire breaks out, you need safeguards against cyber attacks occurring.

This is why we use SentinelOne, which goes well beyond traditional antivirus software by actively monitoring behaviour on your devices to spot suspicious patterns.

For businesses looking for even more peace of mind, we also offer our Security Operations Centre as an optional addition. We treat this as a Proactive Response service. Rather than just reporting an issue and telling you something is broken, our experts actively investigate and fix vulnerabilities for you.

We Handle the Paperwork Translation

We know that you want to focus on running your business rather than deciphering complex technical requirements. Our team is always here to assist our clients in completing the technical needs of their cyber insurance.
