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
Legal Liability
Data breaches create significant legal exposure
Regulatory Fines
Notification obligations and compliance penalties
Supply Chain Risk
Vendor dependency creates cascading vulnerabilities
Trust Loss
Business continuity and customer relationship damage
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.
