This book walks the renewal form with you — the common core of controls in plain English, the honest-answer discipline, the policy fine print to read before signing, and the evidence pack that keeps every attestation provable. Three firms at three sizes carry every worked example.

This year's renewal asked for proof. Multi-factor authentication on every account, detection software on every computer, backups you have actually restored from, an incident plan with names on it. All of it certified, in writing, by a deadline. This book walks the form with you: what each question means in plain English, what "counts" for each control, what it should cost, and what evidence to keep so the answers hold up later, when it matters most. Written for the owner who is also the insurance contact, the person the renewal supplemental lands on. Three running case studies (a 12-person accounting group, a solo bookkeeper, and a 41-person title agency) show every worksheet completed at three sizes. The renewal-form decoder, the evidence pack checklist, the vendor cards for the MSP and broker calls, and the first-calls page are included as ready-to-customise tools. An imprint of Sylvan Press.

Companion to the Cyber Insurance Readiness Assessment toolkit — the assessment and ready-to-use templates that put this book to work.
