Cyber-Insurance Readiness

Evaluate whether your business has evidence supporting the security control statements required by cyber-insurance carriers — before renewal or application.

Carriers increasingly require documented evidence of security controls during application and renewal. Root Command IT helps you assess whether your current program supports the statements you are being asked to make.

Controls we commonly evaluate

  • Multi-factor authentication — enforcement scope and coverage for email, VPN, and admin access
  • Backups — backup scope, retention, offline/immutable copies, and restoration testing
  • Endpoint security — EDR/AV deployment, monitoring, and patch management
  • Privileged access — admin account controls and least-privilege practices
  • Security training — workforce awareness program and completion records
  • Incident response — documented procedures and contact lists
  • Vulnerability management — patching cadence and vulnerability tracking
  • Email protection — anti-phishing, SPF/DKIM/DMARC, and filtering controls

Questions that appear on nearly every renewal application

  • Is MFA enforced on email and remote access?
  • Are backups isolated from production and restoration-tested?
  • Do you have endpoint detection/response deployed?
  • Is there a written incident response plan?
  • Does workforce security training happen at least annually?

An assessment documents your current control posture, identifies gaps, and helps you prepare evidence for carrier applications and renewals.
