Frequently Asked Questions
What is cyber insurance compliance and why does it matter for my business?
Cyber insurance compliance means implementing the specific security controls that your insurer requires to issue or renew your cyber liability policy. Insurers increasingly deny claims if they find that required controls, like MFA or backup systems, were not in place at the time of an incident.
What security controls do most cyber insurers require in Canada?
Common requirements include multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all remote access and email, endpoint detection and response (EDR) software, verified and tested data backups including offsite copies, email security filtering, patch management processes, and documented incident response procedures.
How can PlexxTech help my business meet cyber insurance requirements?
PlexxTech reviews your current cyber insurance questionnaire or renewal requirements, assesses your existing security controls against those requirements, implements any gaps, and provides documentation that supports your application or renewal, including evidence of MFA, backups, and staff training.
My insurer sent a cyber insurance questionnaire — can PlexxTech help me complete it?
Yes. We assist businesses in accurately completing cyber insurance questionnaires and identifying any controls that need to be implemented before submission. Submitting inaccurate responses can void your coverage, so it is important to answer truthfully and remediate gaps proactively.
What happens if my business has a cyber incident but was not compliant with policy requirements?
If your insurer determines that required controls were absent at the time of a claim, they may reduce or deny your payout. This is why proactive compliance is critical, not just checking boxes but implementing and maintaining the required security measures.
How long does it take to become cyber insurance compliant?
For most small to mid-sized businesses, implementing the core required controls takes four to eight weeks depending on the current state of your IT environment. PlexxTech can prioritize the most critical items first to meet an upcoming renewal deadline.
Does cyber insurance cover ransomware attacks?
Most cyber liability policies cover ransomware, including ransom negotiation, data recovery costs, business interruption losses, and notification expenses, provided the required security controls were in place. PlexxTech ensures your environment meets those requirements before an incident occurs.
Should I have cyber insurance even if I have strong cybersecurity in place?
Yes. Cyber insurance is a financial backstop for costs that arise even when you do everything right, including breach notification costs, legal fees, regulatory fines, and reputational damage management. Good cybersecurity reduces risk; cyber insurance covers residual risk. Both are recommended.
Can PlexxTech help us respond to a cyber incident covered by our insurance policy?
Yes. PlexxTech provides incident response support including containment, forensic investigation, remediation, and recovery. We can also coordinate with your insurer’s incident response panel and help document the incident for your claim.
