# Cyber Insurance Readiness — Manage, Reduce, and Transfer Risk

# Cyber Insurance Readiness

Manage, Reduce, and Transfer Risk

### Introduction

The financial and operational impact of cyber incidents continues to rise worldwide. Ransomware, data breaches, supply-chain compromise, and targeted attacks can disrupt operations, damage reputation, and create long-term liabilities.

Cyber insurance helps organizations absorb financial damage — but insurers increasingly demand demonstrable security maturity before offering adequate coverage.

CypSec bridges this gap by preparing organizations for insurance eligibility, reducing risk exposure, and supporting incident documentation and claims.

## Why Cyber Insurance Matters

$

#### Escalating Costs

Ransomware and downtime costs are skyrocketing

⚠

#### Key Insight

Cyber insurance is part of a strategic risk-transfer plan — but it cannot stand alone. Security maturity determines coverage, premiums, and claim success.

> “Hope is not a strategy.”

Often cited in cybersecurity and risk governance circles, the quote underscores a harsh reality: most companies—especially small businesses—assume the odds of a cyberattack are low. Yet the stakes are high enough to wipe out the entire business.
