Cybersecurity Insurance: Are Your KRIs Compliant?

Okay, so, Cybersecurity Insurance: Are Your KRIs Compliant? Lets talk about it, shall we?

Cybersecurity insurance, its like, the new hotness, right? Everybodys getting it, or thinking about getting it. Especially after, you know, (that whole data breach fiasco last year that shall not be named). But just slapping down some cash and getting a policy aint the whole story. You gotta actually be...compliant.

And thats where KRIs come in. Key Risk Indicators. Basically, these are the things insurance companies looove to poke at before they agree to, like, cover your butt. They want to know if youre actually taking cybersecurity seriously, or just, like, hoping for the best.

Are your KRIs even established? Do you even know what they are?! A lot of companies dont. Theyre just cruising along, thinking their firewall is enough. (Spoiler alert: its never enough).

Compliance with these KRIs is super important. Were talking things like:

• Patch Management: Are you patching your systems regularly?

  Like, actually regularly, or are you still running Windows XP somewhere in the back?!


• Employee Training: Are your employees trained to spot phishing emails? Because, lets be honest, most of them probably arent. (They click on everything!)


• Access Controls: Who has access to what? Is it just a free-for-all, or do you have some kind of, uh, sensible system in place?


• Incident Response Plan: Do you even have a plan for when (not if) something goes wrong?

  And is it actually, like, useful?

The insurance company is gonna want to see evidence! Screenshots, reports, audit trails (ooooh, scary!), the whole shebang. If your KRIs are a mess, they might deny your claim! Or worse, jack up your premiums so high you cant afford the insurance in the first place.

So, seriously. Take a good, hard look at your KRIs.
