Frequently asked questions
Why is cyber insurance compliance IT so important now?
Insurance carriers have faced massive payouts due to ransomware and data breaches. Consequently, they have moved from simple questionnaires to strict technical requirements. If your IT infrastructure does not meet their specific standards for encryption, authentication, and monitoring, you may face significantly higher premiums or be denied coverage entirely. North Star helps you implement these controls to remain insurable and secure.
What IT controls are usually required for cyber insurance?
While requirements vary by provider, most now demand Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) across all remote access points and email accounts. They also look for Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions rather than traditional antivirus. Additionally, carriers require immutable or air-gapped backups and regular security awareness training for all employees to mitigate human error, which is a leading cause of insurance claims.
How does North Star assist with insurance renewals?
We provide a thorough assessment of your current security posture against your insurance provider requirements. Our team identifies gaps, such as missing patches or lack of logging, and implements the necessary technical changes. We also provide the documentation and proof of controls required during the application process, ensuring your business is accurately represented and fully protected before you sign your renewal.
