01 — The Problem
Insurers changed the rules. Most firms haven’t noticed yet.
Cyber-insurance carriers used to sell coverage on price and paperwork. Since 2022 that has flipped. Underwriters now enforce a hard baseline of security controls (multi-factor authentication, endpoint detection and response, immutable backups, a written incident-response plan, DMARC on email) and they check.
Answer the 100 to 200-question application without those controls in place, and the policy is declined. Answer “yes” without the evidence to back it up, and a future claim can be denied for misrepresentation. Some firms are already discovering the second one the hard way.
For a mid-sized firm bidding on a project, insurance isn’t optional paperwork any more. It’s a gate. General contractors, owners, and prime insurers now flow security requirements down through the whole chain. If your renewal fails, you don’t just lose coverage. You can lose the ability to bid.

02 — The Sprint
A 30-day, fixed-fee readiness engagement, with the evidence pack your broker actually needs.
The Insurability Sprint scans your Microsoft 365 environment against the eight control domains cyber-insurance underwriters score, fixes the gaps that would cause a decline, and hands you a formal evidence pack your broker takes straight to the underwriter. Fixed fee. Fixed timeline. No open-ended consulting.
Insurability Scorecard
A one-page pass-fail against every control your insurer scores. Colour-coded, with an honest overall verdict: will you pass renewal today?
Insurer Evidence Matrix
A row-per-question mapping of your carrier’s application form to the exact evidence we collected, so you answer the 100-200 questions accurately, not from memory.
Risk Register
Every gap identified, with business risk stated in dollars, downtime, or uninsurability terms. Prioritized by what your carrier weighs hardest.
Fixed-price Remediation Roadmap
A 30-60-90-day plan to close every gap, with fixed pricing per phase. No surprise invoices.
Ongoing Managed Proposal
How we keep the controls in place after the Sprint ends, so next year’s renewal is easy, priced so you can compare it to what you pay today.

- You keep the evidence pack. It’s yours.
04 — Fit Check
Built for one specific kind of firm.
Right fit if you are:
- 10-75 employees, one to five offices, running on Microsoft 365
- BC-based construction, accounting, legal, or professional services
- Facing a cyber-insurance renewal, application, client security questionnaire, or a Copilot rollout
- Without a senior in-house security lead
- Willing to make the fixes the underwriter needs, not just get a report
Not a fit if you are:
- Under 10 employees or over 250, different economics either way
- Not on Microsoft 365 (Google Workspace-primary firms need a different provider)
- Looking for a one-off audit with no fixes
- Looking for compliance certification (SOC 2, ISO 27001), that is a different, longer engagement
