Compliance

Cyber Insurance

Cyber insurance proposal forms ask detailed questions about your security. If the answers turn out to be wrong when you claim, the insurer may not pay. We make sure they are right.

TESTED
100% success record

Every client we have taken through an accreditation has achieved it - and kept it at every renewal.

We never mark our own homework

We submit ourselves to independent third-party testing. Certification is always issued by an independent body, never by us.

Physical tests, not questionnaires

We prove each control works on your real devices and services. Questionnaire answers can be inaccurate or optimistic; tests cannot.

Free assessment of where you are

We will look at your current position for free and tell you exactly which controls you need - with no obligation.

What is Cyber Insurance?

Insurers now expect a baseline of controls before they will offer cover - and they check after an incident. Multi-factor authentication, offline or immutable backups, endpoint detection and response, timely patching and email security come up on almost every proposal.

Many businesses answer "yes" in good faith to controls that are only partly in place. We test each one physically, fix what is missing and give you evidence to stand behind your answers - which can also help with premiums and cover limits.

Who needs it

The controls you will need

Multi-factor authentication

On email, remote access, cloud services and all admin accounts.

Backups you can restore

Offline or immutable copies, tested by actually restoring them.

Endpoint detection and response

EDR on every device, monitored so alerts are acted on.

Patching

Critical and high-risk updates applied promptly, with unsupported systems removed.

Email and privileged access security

Filtering, DMARC and restricted, monitored admin rights.

Incident response plan

A plan the team has practised, with insurer contact details ready.

How we get you there - and keep you there

  1. 1Free assessment

    We review your devices, cloud services and processes against Cyber Insurance and show you where you stand.

  2. 2Close the gaps

    We fix or guide you through every control that would fail, in priority order.

  3. 3Test physically

    We prove each control works - scans, patch checks, malware tests, restores and MFA checks - before anyone else looks.

  4. 4Independent sign-off

    An independent assessor, auditor or certification body confirms it. We never certify our own work.

  5. 5Stay compliant

    We monitor your controls in real time and fix drift as it happens, so renewal is a normal day, not a cliff edge.

What sets Total Group apart

Compliance monitored in real time - not checked once a year

Our own intellectual property is how we run compliance: we monitor the major Cyber Insurance controls in real time using the leading enterprise SaaS tools. That lets us map gaps and bridge controls quickly and accurately while you work towards accreditation - and then keep standards up, and risk down, every day after it.

Controls monitored in real time

We watch the major controls continuously using leading enterprise SaaS security and compliance tools - not once a year with a questionnaire.

Gaps mapped and bridged fast

Live data shows exactly which controls are missing or drifting, so we can map the gaps and bridge them quickly and accurately.

Compliant change management

Every change to your systems follows a compliant change process, so an upgrade or a new starter never quietly breaks a control.

Compliance that improves, not decays

Issues are picked up and fixed as they happen. Your risk goes down over the year instead of creeping up until the next audit.

Annual review is not viable in the current threat landscape. Attackers do not wait twelve months - so neither do we.

Cyber Insurance questions and answers

Does Cyber Essentials include insurance?

IASME includes cyber liability insurance for eligible UK organisations with turnover under £20m that certify their whole organisation - a useful base layer of cover.

Can you fill in our insurance proposal?

We help you answer accurately and give you the evidence behind each answer. The declaration remains yours, so accuracy matters.

Why physical testing?

Because questionnaires can be answered optimistically. We prove MFA is enforced, restores work and EDR responds - so there are no surprises when you claim.

Will this reduce our premium?

Insurers price on risk; demonstrable controls often improve terms, but we cannot promise a specific premium.

What makes Total Group different from other compliance providers?

We monitor the major controls in real time using leading enterprise SaaS tools, with compliant change management behind every change. Gaps are found and bridged quickly, standards are maintained every day, and accreditation stops being a fraught cliff edge - you can say you were compliant yesterday, not a year ago.

Why is an annual review not enough?

Controls drift: devices miss patches, accounts change, new services appear. With an annual review that drift goes unnoticed for months while risk rises. Real-time monitoring catches it as it happens, so issues are fixed quickly and your compliance improves rather than decays.
