The Problem

Coverage decisions now hinge on what you can prove.

Many small businesses already have some controls in place — but underwriting gets delayed when documentation is incomplete, evidence is scattered, and no one has packaged the basics into an insurer-ready format.

Insurer expectations keep rising

Carriers increasingly require proof of baseline controls — not just yes/no answers — before they bind or renew coverage.

Controls exist, evidence doesn't

Most small businesses already do many of the right things. What's missing is the documentation and organized evidence to show it.

Renewals turn into a scramble

Questionnaires arrive, deadlines compress, and internal teams spend weeks chasing answers across email, drives, and vendors.

A focused sprint fixes it

A fixed-scope readiness engagement closes the documentation gap quickly — without a long, open-ended consulting project.

What's Included

Six deliverables. One readiness package.

Every sprint produces the same core artifacts, tailored to your business. No surprises, no scope creep.

Insurance Readiness Gap Summary

A clear, plain-language assessment of where your current posture meets insurer expectations and where the gaps are.

Evidence Binder Structure

An organized binder framework with the artifacts insurers ask for, ready to share during application or renewal.

Core Policy & Procedure Pack

Right-sized policies — acceptable use, access, incident response, vendor risk — written for a small business, not an enterprise.

Prioritized 30-Day Remediation Plan

A focused list of practical actions sequenced by risk and effort, so your team knows exactly what to tackle first.

Training & Tracking Starter Setup

A simple structure to launch and document security awareness training and ongoing attestations.

Insurance Questionnaire Mapping

Your evidence and policies mapped against common insurer questionnaires so answers come from a single source of truth.

How It Works

A calm, four-step engagement.

Designed to be light on your team's time and predictable from day one.

  1. 01

    Complete the intake or pre-check

    Start with a short questionnaire so we understand your size, stack, and timing.

  2. 02

    Upload your questionnaire & materials

    Share the insurer questionnaire and any existing policies, configs, or evidence.

  3. 03

    We build your readiness package

    Mostly asynchronous work, with a brief check-in or two to clarify and validate.

  4. 04

    Receive deliverables in 7–10 business days

    Evidence binder, policy pack, gap summary, remediation plan, and questionnaire mapping.

Scope clarity

What this Sprint is not

We keep scope tight so delivery stays predictable. The Sprint focuses on insurer-ready documentation — not the items below.

  • Not full IT implementation
  • Not 24/7 monitoring
  • Not a full compliance audit
  • Not a guarantee of underwriting approval

Who It's For

Built for small professional services firms.

The sprint is best suited for firms with 10–75 employees and lean internal IT — often a part-time IT lead, an outsourced MSP, or an operations leader carrying the load.

  • 10–75 employees, with limited dedicated security staff
  • Applying for, renewing, or reviewing cyber insurance coverage
  • Office-based professional services with client data to protect

Common fits
