Quick Answer 

Three stages: we assess where you actually stand against what insurers ask, fix the gaps that affect your application, and keep the controls in place between renewals so the answers stay true.

We Start With What's Real, Not What's Documented

Most businesses have controls that are partly deployed — MFA that misses the VPN, backups nobody has restored. We check each one against reports and sign-in data rather than policy documents, so you find out before the underwriter does.

Then We Close the Gaps

Findings are prioritised by what affects your application, not by what's easiest. We implement and configure what's missing — identity controls, endpoint protection, email security, backup resilience, patching, privileged access, monitoring — and produce the evidence behind each.

And Keep It That Way

Controls drift between renewals. People change roles, exclusions get added, systems get replaced. Ongoing monitoring and review means next year's questionnaire doesn't start from scratch.

We Work Alongside Your IT Provider

You don't need to replace anyone. Most of our clients have an IT company or internal team handling day-to-day technology — we focus on the security controls insurers examine, and work with whoever is already there.

Example Scenario 

A 180-person manufacturer preparing for renewal had gaps across MFA on privileged accounts, outdated software, inconsistent backup testing, and limited monitoring. We prioritised by risk, strengthened identity protection, improved patching, made backups resilient, and added continuous monitoring — before the application was submitted.
