Cyber insurance evidence tool

Charity cyber insurance readiness checker

Prepare for cyber insurance quotes, renewals, trustee review, or supplier due diligence by checking whether the charity has evidence for MFA, backups, account ownership, incident response, sensitive-data rules, logs, cloud budget controls, training, and remediation ownership. The checker is local-only and does not collect insurance or security data.

Insurance scenarios5First policy, renewal growth, sensitive services, fundraising exposure, and cloud or digital programmes.
Evidence checks10Weighted around MFA, backups, incident response, inventories, data rules, logging, training, and trustee records.
Warning signs8Recent incidents, unclear ownership, shared logins, untested backups, exposed campaigns, and scalable spend.
PolicyNo premium claimsThis is evidence triage, not an insurance quote or broker recommendation.

1. Select the insurance context

2. Tick evidence already ready

3. Tick warning signs before quote or renewal

How to use this before speaking to a broker or insurer

  • Use the missing evidence list to prepare internal records before requesting quotes, renewing cover, or answering supplier due diligence forms.
  • Keep screenshots, dates, owners, policy links, access-review notes, and incident-response decisions with the insurance or trustee evidence file.
  • Use the cybersecurity budget calculator to estimate remediation cost if the evidence pack shows unfunded gaps.
  • Use the password and access security checker when MFA, shared accounts, offboarding, or admin ownership is the main blocker.
  • This checker is not insurance advice, legal advice, security certification, broker selection, provider eligibility review, or a premium quote.
