In combination with Embroker’s expertise in cyber liability insurance, this partnership creates a comprehensive solution for businesses to manage their cyber risk. 

Key Benefits of the Partnership

The alliance between Embroker and SecurityScorecard introduces two pivotal advantages for clients seeking cyber liability insurance:

Streamlined Insurance Application Process

Continuous Cyber Health Monitoring

A standout feature of this partnership is the integration of continuous cyber health monitoring over the term of the insurance policy. Embroker, utilizing the insights provided by SecurityScorecard, will be able to track and address potential digital security concerns throughout the policy’s duration to provide suggestions for further improvements and digital protections.

Advantages of Continuous Monitoring:

  • Proactive Risk Management: Hourly, daily, and weekly monitoring allows for immediate identification and response to emerging cybersecurity threats.
  • Dynamic Policy Adjustment: Insurance coverage can be adjusted dynamically in response to changes in a company’s cyber health profile.

Industry-Wide Implications

By intertwining cybersecurity assessment with insurance offerings, Embroker and SecurityScorecard are setting a new standard for commercial insurance.

Uplevlelling Insurance Practices

The integration of cybersecurity ratings into the insurance application process and the provision of ongoing cyber-health monitoring are poised to become necessary in the commercial insurance industry. This approach promotes a more informed and responsive insurance landscape.
