Executive summary As of March 31, 2025, most of PCI DSS v4.0’s “future-dated” items are now required. The big shifts: tighter payment-page script controls, broader MFA, stronger password standards, and the formal use of Targeted Risk Analyses (TRA) for setting certain control frequencies. If you package these updates into a concise, carrier-ready evidence pack, you’ll speed up underwriting, cut follow-ups, and reduce surprises at claim […]
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are driving innovation across industries — from finance and healthcare to logistics and retail. But with these advancements come new exposures for technology providers. When algorithms misfire, produce biased outcomes, or fail altogether, clients often look to the developer or vendor for accountability. That’s where Technology Errors and Omissions […]
A Real Incident: Microsoft vs RaccoonO365 Phishing Operation In September 2025, Microsoft and Cloudflare disrupted a phishing network called RaccoonO365 (also known as Raccoon0365). The attack operation enabled phishing-as-a-service; it stole at least 5,000 Microsoft 365 credentials from victims across many countries. Criminals used fake Microsoft login pages and leveraged tools like CAPTCHA to appear legitimate. […]

If you build software or run a tech-enabled service, you’ve probably wondered whether Technology Errors & Omissions (Tech E&O) or Cyber Liability should be your primary line of defense. The truth: they protect against different (often complementary) risks. This guide uses short tables and scenario flows so you can see—at a glance—which policy responds, why, and where you may need both. The quick […]
Underwriters increasingly expect core controls in place—MFA everywhere, EDR on all endpoints, offline/immutable backups, email security & training, patch/vulnerability SLAs, secured remote access (no exposed RDP), privileged access management, incident response plans/tabletops, centralized logging/monitoring (often MDR), and third‑party risk controls. If you can document these quickly (screenshots, exports, RMM/PSA evidence), you’ll qualify faster, avoid sublimits/exclusions, and often save […]

In 2023, one of the U.K.’s oldest logistics firms, KNP Logistics Group, fell victim to a catastrophic ransomware attack—all because of a weak password.
