The problem
Why this matters
Insurers now ask detailed security questions before they write or renew a cyber policy. The questions are full of jargon, and your answers need to match how things really work in your office.
Most of the questions come down to a handful of basics. When those basics are in place and written down, the form gets a lot easier.
What you get
- A walkthrough of your questionnaire, one question at a time
- Fixes for the gaps that are within reach before your renewal
- Written documentation of what's in place, to keep on file with your policy
- A written summary you can share with your insurance agent
- A 30-day follow-up after delivery

|---|---|
| Do you use multifactor authentication (MFA)? | Is there a second lock on your email and remote access? |
| Do you have endpoint detection and response (EDR)? | Do your computers have antivirus that watches for break-ins? |
| Do you keep offline or immutable backups? | Is there a copy of your files you can actually get back, kept where ransomware can't reach it? |

20 to 30 minutes by phone, video, or over coffee. Tell me the problem, and I'll include a quick 10-point check of your basics.

The work

A check-in a month later to make sure everything is still working for you.
Timeline
Best started about 60 days before your renewal. Most projects take 2 to 4 weeks, which leaves room to close gaps before the questionnaire is due.

FAQ
Questions owners ask
When should I start?
About 60 days before your renewal date. That gives enough time to understand each question, fix what's within reach, and document it before the form is due.
Can you fill out the questionnaire for me?
You sign the application, so the answers need to be yours. I explain each question, check what's actually in place, and help you document it so you can answer accurately.
Will this lower my premium?
I can't promise that. Pricing and coverage decisions belong to your insurer. What I can do is help you answer accurately and close the gaps within reach before renewal.
I'm an insurance agent. Can I send clients your way?
Yes. The ByteSize Partner Network is set up for agents, CPAs, and tax preparers. See the Partners page for how referrals work.
