I reached out to Jason for help with my business insurance. He walked me through the entire process, ensuring I understood every step. Jason highlighted situations where my coverage might need to change as my business evolves, providing invaluable foresight and peace of mind. Thanks to Jason, this once-confusing task was taken off my list. I feel secure knowing that both I and my business are well-covered

Janet and Jason have been tremendous in helping me find the right insurances for our business. Janet has worked with me for a number of months making sure we get it right where a new type of insurance was required. Janet held my hand through the paperwork and took all of the headache away. Having previously used a large broker I am thrilled to have the personal touch from Portal Broking where I know I am going to speak to the same person and get answers with little to no delay. I have no hesitation in recommending Portal Broking Group for your insurance needs.

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.
