We Fix What Insurers Flag — So You Get Approved
Half of Irish SMEs have been refused cyber insurance or given a remediation list they don't know how to action. We close the gaps insurers care about — MFA, backups, patching, incident response — typically in 2–4 weeks.

Why Insurers Are Saying No
Since 2023, Irish cyber insurers have dramatically tightened their requirements. Controls that were "nice to have" are now mandatory. The most common reasons for decline:
No MFA on email or remote access
Microsoft data shows MFA blocks 99.9% of automated attacks. Insurers know this — it's now non-negotiable.
No tested backup strategy
Untested backups are as good as no backups. Insurers want proof your data can be restored.
Unpatched systems
Known vulnerabilities left unpatched are the easiest attack vector — and the easiest reason to decline.
No incident response plan
Insurers want to know you can contain a breach quickly — not just react in panic.
What We Fix — And How Fast
We address the specific controls your insurer flagged, in priority order, so you can reapply as quickly as possible.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
The #1 reason insurers decline applications. We implement MFA across email, VPN, admin accounts, and cloud services — typically in under a week.
Backup & Recovery
Insurers want tested, immutable, offline backups. We design and verify a backup strategy that satisfies even the strictest underwriters.
Patch Management
Unpatched systems are an automatic red flag. We set up automated patching for OS, applications, and firmware with compliance reporting.
Incident Response Plan
Most insurers now require a documented, tested IR plan. We create one tailored to your business and run a tabletop exercise to prove it works.
Typical timeline: 2–4 weeks from assessment to reapplication
Most remediation costs between €3,000–€8,000 — a fraction of the €35,000–€65,000 average cost of an uninsured cyber incident for an Irish SME.

The controls insurers require today are the same controls that protect your business from a real attack. Fix them now — get insured and get protected.
Insurers Want Evidence of Real Controls
MFA, EDR, tested backups, email filtering — insurers now require proof before issuing policies. We deploy and manage these controls so you can get covered.
