Cyber Insurance Workbook

Everything you need to prepare, apply for, and manage cyber insurance — 8 tabs, 167 live formulas, built for security teams who need to hold their own with brokers and underwriters.

A comprehensive workbook that covers the entire cyber insurance lifecycle — from first application to annual renewal. Feels like a $200+ deliverable. Actually useful, not just a checklist.

**What's inside (8 tabs, 167 live formulas):**

Control Questionnaire — 35 questions across 12 categories (MFA, Endpoint, Backups, Email Security, Access, Vuln Mgmt, IR, Training, Network, Third Party, Data Protection, Logging). Each question includes the "why insurers ask" context. Dropdowns for Answer, Maturity, and Priority. Conditional formatting auto-colors green/amber/red. The Premium Impact column auto-flags "Declinable" or "Increases Premium" based on your answers.

Readiness Dashboard — live Overall Readiness Score, Readiness Tier (Preferred / Standard / Substandard / High Risk / At Risk of Decline), per-category breakdown, and a dynamic Top Gaps list.

Broker Summary — one-pager that updates automatically as you fill in the Questionnaire. Hand it to your broker on day one.

Evidence Register — 20 pre-seeded evidence items (EV-001–EV-020) cross-referenced to the Questionnaire.

Renewal Log — year-over-year history: carrier, premium, limit, retention, readiness score. The reason buyers come back annually.

Also includes: Company Profile (25+ fields), Glossary (15 terms: BEC, DMARC, EDR, PAM, 3-2-1-1-0, tabletop, sub-limit, and more).
