Cyber insurance might feel like a safety net, but when a breach happens, insurers, regulators, and courts start asking tough questions. Can you prove you followed your cybersecurity policies? Did your team document its compliance efforts? Without airtight evidence, businesses—and their executives—can be accused of negligence, fraud, or worse. 

Compliance is overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. For vCSOs feeling the pressure, the smartest move is to start with what matters most: Cyber Insurability. Meeting the requirements for cyber insurance gives you a strong baseline, providing protection while addressing fundamental cybersecurity controls. 

The question isn’t whether you should implement a compliance program, it’s how you can most resource-efficiently implement the kind of compliance program that will best mitigate your risk.
