PCI DSS 4.0 (2025): The Changes That Matter—and What Insurers Want to See

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 […]

Tech E&O in the Era of AI and Machine Learning

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 […]

Phishing Scams: Real Example, The Risks, and How Cyber Insurance Protects You

A Real Incident: Microsoft vs RaccoonO365 Phishing Operation In September 2025, Microsoft and Cloudflare disrupted a phishing network called RaccoonO365 (also known as Raccoon0365).

Why Every Business Needs Standalone Cyber Insurance in 2025

Tech E&O vs. Cyber: Where Each Responds (with real-world scenarios)

Cyber Insurance Requirements: The Minimum Controls Checklist (for SMBs & MSPs)

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 […]
