Insurance Readiness Scorecard

Assessment of your security controls against the top 25 insurer evaluation criteria, with a readiness rating and gap identification.

Insurer Questionnaire Responses (Assurance+)

Pre-completed responses for major NZ cyber insurance questionnaires, ready for your review and submission.

In practice

The output is an insurer-readiness scorecard showing the controls likely to be challenged, the evidence already available, the answers that need tightening, and the specific fixes most likely to change the renewal conversation.

The pressure

An insurer is asking questions now and weak answers could make renewal slower, more expensive, or impossible.

You get a clearer view of underwriter-facing gaps, the evidence needed for renewal, and what to fix first before the insurer decides for you.

Cyber-insurance renewals get expensive when the business cannot prove the basics underwriters care about or answers questions with too much uncertainty. This assessment shows what is likely to help, what is likely to hurt, and which gaps will create premium pressure or exclusions.

Good Security reviews insurer-facing controls, turns the findings into a readiness view, and leaves you with the evidence, response material, and improvement actions needed to approach renewal in a more controlled way.

FAQ

Common questions.

These answers are here to make the next decision easier, not to hide the real scope.

When does Cyber Insurance Readiness Assessment make sense? +

An insurer is asking questions now and weak answers could make renewal slower, more expensive, or impossible. Use this when renewal or first-time cover is active and the business needs better answers before the application goes in.

What changes after Cyber Insurance Readiness Assessment is delivered? +

You get a clearer view of underwriter-facing gaps, the evidence needed for renewal, and what to fix first before the insurer decides for you.
