The controls insurers ask about at renewal
MFA, endpoint protection, backups, payment checks, patching and your team.
General information about controls insurers commonly ask about. It’s not insurance, legal or financial advice, and it can’t tell you whether you’ll be offered cover or on what terms: your broker and insurer’s questionnaire have the final say. Your answers aren’t saved or sent anywhere unless you choose to send them to us.

Cyber insurance readiness: common questions
About the free cyber insurance readiness check.
Is the insurance readiness check free?
Yes. It takes about three minutes and there’s no sign-up. Your answers stay on the page and aren’t saved or sent anywhere unless you choose to send them to us.
What do cyber insurers usually ask about?
Common questions cover multi-factor authentication, endpoint protection, backups, how you check bank detail changes, security updates, staff training and whether you have an incident response plan. Every insurer’s questionnaire is different.
Why does one “No” rate me as at risk?
Some controls, like MFA on email, monitored endpoint protection, offline or immutable backups and payment verification, are treated by many insurers as essential. A gap in any of them can affect your cover or premium, so the check flags it first.
What evidence might my insurer ask for?
Insurers may ask you to show the controls you claim, such as MFA reports, endpoint protection coverage, backup reports, a written payment verification procedure and training records. The check lists what to have ready.
Will this tell me if I’ll get cover?
No. It’s general information, not insurance, legal or financial advice. Your broker and your insurer’s questionnaire decide your cover and terms.
Can Geekheads help us get ready?
Yes. We can put missing controls in place, such as MFA, monitored endpoint protection and immutable backups, and help you gather the evidence before your renewal.
