Insurance for some financial effects of cyber incidents.
Core term for the page and should be explained without legal promises.
Business cybersecurity
Cyber insurance IT requirements for business
Cyber insurers may ask about backups, MFA, firewall rules, monitoring, patching and recovery procedures. Aptigo does not sell insurance, but helps prepare practical IT and security foundations.
Key risk
Cyber insurance is not a replacement for security
A cyber policy may reduce financial exposure, but it will not restore systems, recover data or stop ransomware by itself.
Practical context
Terms and information that make the decision easier
These short explanations help discuss risk without going too deep into technical detail.
Installing updates that fix security or stability issues.
Useful where insurers may ask about system updates.
Statements a company makes about existing security controls.
Clarifies the risk of saying controls exist when they do not work.
Scope and approach
What to know before the next step
What insurers may ask about
Questions usually focus on controls that should actually work, not only exist in declarations.
- MFA for email, VPN and admin access
- backup and restore testing
- firewall and access control
- system patching
- monitoring of logins and backups
- response procedures
The risk of incorrect declarations
If a company declares controls that are missing or ineffective, the problem may appear only after an incident.
What Aptigo reviews
We verify practical readiness: firewall, MFA, backup, Microsoft 365, VPN, patching, monitoring and technical documentation for management and IT.
Outcome for management
The company receives a list of risks, gaps and priorities, making insurance and compliance conversations more factual.
Cyber insurance often starts with IT questions
Companies considering cyber insurance are increasingly asked about backup, MFA, patching, email security, firewall, remote access, procedures and incident history. Aptigo is not an insurance broker; we support IT/security readiness.
What should be checked
It is usually worth reviewing backups, MFA, firewall configuration, remote access, updates, user accounts, Microsoft 365, monitoring and security documentation.
- backup and restore tests
- MFA
- firewall and VPN
- updates
- accounts and permissions
- response procedures
What we do not promise
Meeting technical requirements does not guarantee a policy. The decision depends on the insurer and terms. Aptigo supports technical readiness, not the insurance process.
