Cyber Assess is Infoprotect’s cyber insurability assessment: an independent review of your cyber risk from the underwriter’s point of view, not just the IT department’s. It goes beyond technical controls to also examine governance, policies and human-factor risk, giving you an evidence-based picture of where you stand before a proposal form goes to market. By identifying the specific gaps that trigger loadings, exclusions or declines.
Cyber Assess helps demonstrate stronger Governance Risk and Compliance (GRC) maturity, supports eligibility for cyber insurance, and can lead to broader cover and more proportionate premiums. The output is a full report, a cyber risk score and a prioritised remediation plan — giving your broker underwriter-ready evidence to negotiate with insurers on your behalf.
In summary:
• See your cyber risk the way an underwriter sees it, before you go to market
• Turns self-declaration on a proposal form into independent, evidenced answers
• Identifies the specific gaps that trigger loadings, exclusions, or declines
• Gives your broker something concrete to negotiate with, supporting broader cover, higher limits, and more proportionate premiums
• Goes beyond a scan or pen test: governance and human-factor risk included, not just technical findings
• Clear output you can act on: full report, cyber risk score, prioritised remediation plan, and an advisory session
