Cyber Awareness Assessment

In today’s digital world, cyber threats are evolving faster than ever. While cyber insurance provides vital financial protection, insurers are increasingly focused on how well businesses prepare for, prevent, and respond to cyber risks.

A Cyber Awareness Assessment is the first step towards understanding your exposure and ensuring your business meets the criteria necessary for robust cyber insurance protection.

Why Is a Cyber Awareness Assessment Important?

A Cyber Awareness Assessment helps to identify vulnerabilities in your systems, people, and processes. It evaluates how prepared your business is to prevent, detect, and recover from a cyber incident.

Insurers now require more detailed information about your cyber hygiene before offering cover, making assessments not only useful—but often essential.

1

Data Handling and Access Control

We assess how your business stores, manages, and restricts access to sensitive data. This includes data encryption, access permissions, and policies for data storage and transfer.
2

Staff Awareness and Training

Human error is a leading cause of cyber breaches. We evaluate how well your employees understand cyber threats and whether regular training or simulated phishing exercises are in place.
3

System Security and Updates

Are your systems up to date? Do you use antivirus software, firewalls, and secure configurations? We review your IT infrastructure to ensure basic security controls are implemented.
4

Incident Response Planning

Having a cyber incident response plan is crucial. We examine whether you have formal procedures in place to respond to an attack quickly and effectively.
5

Backups and Business Continuity

The ability to recover data quickly following an attack is essential. We assess your backup frequency, storage location, and your ability to restore operations with minimal disruption.
6

Third-Party Risks

Many breaches occur through suppliers or software vendors. We review your processes for managing third-party access and ensure they follow appropriate cyber security standards.
