Why It Matters

The Application Is a Security Audit in Disguise

Cyber-insurance applications from Coalition, At-Bay, Travelers, Chubb, and the rest all ask the same core control questions: is MFA enforced, is EDR deployed, are backups tested and offline, is RDP exposed. Get one wrong and a claim can be denied.

SBCMSP already measures most of those controls. The readiness scorecard maps your client's live posture — across every scan source and their compliance attestations — onto the carrier's questions, so you answer the application from evidence.

It's source-aware: a control only reads “ready” when the relevant source was actually assessed. No M365 connection means MFA shows “needs review,” not a false green — so the answer you give the carrier is one you can stand behind.

How It Works

From Posture to Renewal Packet

One report the client hands their broker.

🧭
1. Map Posture
SBCMSP maps the client's live findings and attestations onto the carrier control set for the domain.
🚦
2. See Ready / Gap / Review
Each control is marked ready, a gap to fix, or needs-review when its source hasn’t been assessed yet.
📄
3. Export Branded PDF
Download a branded readiness scorecard the client can attach to their renewal application.
🔧
Close the Gaps
Gaps link back to the findings and remediation workflow, so you fix what the carrier flags.
🔄
Re-Run Anytime
Re-generate as you remediate — watch “gap” controls turn “ready” before the renewal date.
📊
Evidence-Backed
Every “ready” is grounded in a real scan result or a timestamped attestation, not a checkbox.
FAQ

Common Questions About Insurance Readiness

Does this fill out the insurance application for me?
It maps the client’s live posture onto the control questions carriers ask, so you can answer the application from evidence. It is a readiness scorecard, not a submission to any carrier.
Why do some controls say “needs review”?
The scorecard is source-aware. A control only reads “ready” when the relevant source was actually assessed. If, for example, no M365 connection exists, MFA shows “needs review” rather than a false pass.
Can I hand the report to the client?
Yes. The readiness scorecard exports as a branded PDF the client can attach to their renewal packet or share with their broker.
Does a “ready” scorecard guarantee coverage or a paid claim?
No. SBCMSP documents the technical controls it can measure to help you answer honestly. Coverage terms and claim decisions are the carrier’s — the scorecard helps you represent posture accurately.
