Cyber Insurance Questionnaire Assistance & Technical Attestation
Facing renewal deadlines or carrier pushback? We audit your environment, deploy the mandatory technical controls (24/7 MDR, DMARC enforcement, immutable backups, MFA), and provide verified documentation for your insurance broker.
The "Guessing Yes" Trap: Why Incorrect Attestation Nullifies Coverage
Many small businesses accidentally check "Yes" to questions about 24/7 Managed Detection and Response or air-gapped backups because they assume their standard antivirus or local USB drive qualifies. It does not.
In the event of a ransomware attack or wire fraud incident, insurance forensic investigators review DNS history, firewall logs, and EDR timestamps. If false attestations are uncovered, carriers can exercise policy exclusion clauses—denying 100% of the claim and leaving your business fully liable for recovery costs.
The 4 Technical Controls Every Underwriter Requires
Modern cyber insurance applications have moved past general IT policies. Here is exactly what carriers demand and how Enuclea deploys compliance across your environment.
1. 24/7 Human-Led MDR (SOC)
Standard antivirus is no longer accepted. Underwriters require continuous behavioral monitoring and rapid human containment to stop active ransomware execution.
2. Domain DMARC Enforcement
Business Email Compromise (BEC) accounts for the largest share of dollar losses. Carriers require active cryptographic blocking (p=quarantine or p=reject).
p=none → p=reject transition, SPF synthesis, and reputation monitoring without dropping legitimate business invoices.
3. Immutable, Air-Gapped Backups
Ransomware actors actively hunt and delete local network backups. Carriers mandate tamper-proof snapshots so your business never has to pay a ransom.
4. Universal MFA & Password Vaults
Single-factor passwords are the #1 attack vector. Carriers mandate phishing-resistant MFA and audited credential hygiene across all user accounts.

Cyber Insurance Questionnaire FAQs
Will implementing these controls lower our insurance premiums?
Yes. Insurance underwriters use tier-based risk rating tables. Demonstrating active 24/7 MDR, enforced DMARC, and immutable backups moves your business into preferred risk tiers, often reducing annual premiums by 20% to 40% compared to unhardened environments.
Do we have to sign a long-term IT contract to get help with our questionnaire?
No. Enuclea operates on a transparent, monthly model with zero multi-year lock-in. Whether you need a one-time questionnaire remediation or ongoing co-managed security tooling, you retain full flexibility.
Can Enuclea coordinate directly with our commercial insurance broker?
Absolutely. We regularly work alongside commercial insurance brokers to supply the exact technical diagrams, log retention policies, and configuration receipts their underwriters require to bind coverage quickly.
