Cyber-Insurance Readiness Checklist

The controls insurers ask about at renewal - each one mapped to the Microsoft 365 or Microsoft Azure setting that delivers it, and to the proof it happened. Work through it 60-90 days before your date, not the week the form lands.

The problem

A cyber-insurance renewal no longer accepts 'we have multi-factor authentication (MFA)' as an answer. Insurers ask control by control, and they expect evidence that each one was enforced when it mattered - not a verbal assurance from the team that configured it. Every item below names the plain-English control first and the Microsoft product or setting that delivers it second, so you can check yourself against a real estate rather than against a memory of one. Do it 60-90 days out: that is enough time to close a gap, and the renewal date does not move to suit you.

What's inside

  • Every control a current cyber-insurance questionnaire typically asks about, in plain English
  • The named Microsoft 365 or Microsoft Azure setting behind each one, and where in the admin centre it lives
  • What counts as evidence for each, since insurers now want proof rather than assurances
  • The controls that depend on a higher licence tier, flagged before you promise them to an insurer

Who it's for

  • Finance, insurance, and other regulated teams with a renewal approaching
  • IT and security leads asked to complete an insurer's control questionnaire
  • Anyone who suspects their answers would not survive a claim investigation

Most engagements start with a no-cost posture audit against the baselines that matter to you. If a fixed-fee roadmap is the right next step, we'll say so - and if it isn't, we'll say that too.
