Assessments
Cyber Insurance Readiness Assessment
Identify weaknesses before a cyber insurance application or renewal. Maps your posture to common insurer questionnaire themes and produces remediation guidance plus a documentation checklist. Not a regulatory framework, not a compliance certification: an internal readiness worksheet to organise the documentation carriers commonly request. Coverage outcomes, premium levels, and claim adjudications are carrier determinations under specific policy terms; this assessment does not predict them.
Use this page to decide whether this assessment belongs in your binder. It is framework-independent: Security Binder generates it from your business profile and guided answers, without requiring a framework selection.

What this assessment covers
- 01
Insurance Posture
Context for the assessment: first-time application, renewal, or improvement-focused. Shapes the interpretation framing throughout.
- 02
Network & Perimeter
Firewall management, segmentation, remote-access posture, Wi-Fi, and network monitoring. Carriers commonly run their own external scans alongside these questions.
- 03
Endpoint & Email Security
EDR coverage, OS/application patching, email filtering, DMARC/DKIM/SPF, and automatic updates. Highest-signal baseline questions for many carriers.
- 04
Access & Identity
MFA scope across remote access / email / admin accounts, password-manager deployment, offboarding cadence, and dormant-account review.
- 05
Backup, Continuity & Disaster Recovery
Backup frequency, restoration testing, immutability/offline backups, RTO/RPO definition, continuity-plan testing, DR-plan documentation, ransomware-recovery posture, and recovery time.
- 06
Incident Response
Documented IR plan, testing cadence, breach-notification procedures, carrier-notification readiness, and forensic-investigation capability.
- 07
Vulnerability Management & Penetration Testing
Scanning cadence, patch SLAs, prioritization, external attack-surface inventory, remediation tracking, third-party pen-test recency, and web-application testing.
- 08
Software & Development
Application-patching cadence, dependency vulnerability management, secure code review, vulnerability-disclosure programme, and end-of-life software inventory.
- 09
Data Protection
Data classification, encryption at rest and in transit, data-loss-prevention controls, and PII inventory.
- 10
Vendor & Supply Chain
Vendor security assessment, contractual security requirements, vendor access controls, cloud-provider attestations, and vendor incident-notification expectations.
- 11
Awareness, Training & Workforce Compliance
Training cadence, phishing simulations, reporting mechanism, social-engineering breadth, completion tracking, signed-acknowledgment rates, violation tracking, and policy distribution.
- 12
Risk Governance & Policies
Risk-assessment cadence, risk register, executive oversight, security budget, incident history, documented policies, framework alignment, change management, log monitoring, log retention, and policy-exception process.
Decisions this assessment captures
A sample of the guided questions the wizard walks through. Answers stay placeholder-safe in the hosted draft; sensitive specifics are completed in your exported copy.
- What is your current cyber insurance situation?
- How do employees access your network remotely?

- How often are your critical business data and systems backed up?
- How often do you scan your systems for known security vulnerabilities?
- How quickly do you apply security patches to your applications and third-party software?

- How often do all employees receive cybersecurity awareness training?
- How often does your organization perform formal cybersecurity risk assessments?
- Do you monitor your network traffic for unusual activity or intrusion attempts?
Framework mappings
This assessment stands on its own. It does not map to a specific framework: the draft is built from your business profile and guided answers, and you can pair it with any framework binder you maintain.
When teams need it
- A customer, insurer, partner, or internal reviewer asks for the document.
- You need a clear owner, scope, review cadence, and evidence checklist.
- You want framework-aware wording without starting from a blank template.
What Security Binder generates
- A structured draft based on your business profile and answers.
- Framework-aware wording where the product supports that framework mapping.
- PDF, DOCX, Markdown, and Local Pack exports for review and local finalization.
