How Cyber Insurance Readiness Works

A straightforward sequence that keeps everyone in their proper role: you decide, your broker specifies, and we make the technical controls real and provable.

Before the work begins

Three roles, kept separate on purpose

None of the three parties does another’s job. It keeps your advice clean and keeps each party accountable for what they are actually good at.

You set the direction

You decide you want coverage, and you learn to recognize a broker who asks the right questions of you.

Your broker sets the terms

A licensed broker identifies the coverage and the exact controls you need to qualify and stay covered.

We keep it true

We validate, build, and document the controls, then keep them running and provable. We sell readiness and proof, never insurance.

How it works

From first review to a file that holds up

01 · Step

We assess where you stand

We measure your environment against the controls underwriters expect and hand you a plain gap report with a roadmap ordered by what matters most.

02 · Step

We close the gaps

Working from the roadmap, we make the controls real: MFA enforced, endpoints covered, backups proven to restore, and a response plan you have actually rehearsed.

03 · Step

We verify the application answers

When you apply or renew, we confirm each technical answer against reality and assemble the evidence your broker and underwriter need to see.

04 · Step

We keep it true all year

Controls drift. We monitor them on a schedule, report with dated proof, and bring your file current before each renewal.

Answering accurately, and proving it

Most wrong answers are not lies. They are assumptions.

A business says it has a control because it was switched on once. After a loss, that assumption is tested against reality. We run that test first, while there is still time to fix the answer.

The application asks

Do all users have MFA?

We confirm

Is it enforced, not merely available, across every user, admin, VPN, email, and cloud login, with exceptions documented?

The application asks

Do you use endpoint detection?

We confirm

Is it deployed to every endpoint and server, with someone monitoring the alerts it produces?

The application asks

Are your backups tested?

We confirm

Not just configured, but restored. On what date, at what scope, and with what result?

The application asks

Do you have an incident response plan?

We confirm

A written, rehearsed plan with named contacts and escalation, or a document nobody has opened?

This is technical verification, not insurance advice. We confirm what is and is not running in your environment, and we write it down. We never tell you what policy to buy or whether a loss would be covered. That stays with your broker.

FAQ

How it works FAQ

Answers to common questions about cyber insurance readiness and how TeckPath supports your broker relationship.

How long does a cyber insurance readiness review take?

Most initial reviews take one to two weeks depending on environment size and documentation. We confirm timing after a short discovery call.

When should we start before renewal?

Sixty to one hundred twenty days ahead of renewal is ideal so gaps can be closed and evidence collected before underwriter review.

Do you work with our insurance broker?

Yes. We stay in our technical lane and support your broker with verified facts, evidence binders, and optional participation in underwriter conversations.

What happens after the gap report?

You decide whether to close gaps internally, engage TeckPath for remediation and evidence work, or set up ongoing control management. There is no obligation to proceed.

TeckPath serves businesses across Calgary, Edmonton, and the Alberta foothills, including Okotoks, High River, Black Diamond, and DeWinton, as well as Toronto and the GTA. Cyber insurance readiness is available for Canadian and US organizations.
