Enable: Insurance & Audit Readiness
Business Case
Insurers, auditors, and customers ask for the same controls, described differently — and want documented evidence, not verbal assurance. Documented controls move premiums 20 to 40% in your favor and cut audit time in half. Build the evidence package once; use it for every party that asks. Walk away with closed control gaps, a tabletop-tested IR plan, and a compliance platform collecting evidence continuously.
Scope
| In Scope |
Out of Scope |
- Control deployment for any gaps (MFA, EDR, immutable backup, email security, DNS filtering, awareness training)
- Privileged-access hardening (admin separation, JIT where viable, legacy auth off)
- Documented incident response plan with tabletop rehearsal
- Right-sized policy set (security, AUP, access, change, IR, BCDR, vendor, data classification, retention)
- Compliance automation platform deployment (evidence collection)
- MDR (managed detection and response) selection and integration

- Framework applicability analysisPre.1
- Foundational identity and endpoint platformPre.2
- Backup architecture itselfPre.3
- vCISO retainer (separate ongoing engagement)
- HRIS replacement or major system customization

Milestones
| # | Milestone | Description |
|---|
| 1 | Engagement baseline | Anchor framework confirmed; control gap analysis run against insurer application and framework requirements. |
| 2 | Control gaps closed | Missing controls deployed and configured; baseline policies and conditional access tuned. |
| 3 | Documentation layer built | Right-sized policy set authored; IR plan documented and tabletop-tested with decision tree. |
| 4 | Evidence platform live | Compliance automation platform integrated with cloud, identity, MDM, and ticketing; evidence auto-collecting. |
| 5 | Readiness package delivered | Insurance application, customer questionnaires, and audit evidence package complete; MDR operational; operating cadence handed off. |

Prerequisites
Each prerequisite can be satisfied by a prior TruScope engagement or by documented evidence you provide for our sign-off before we begin.
Pre.1 — Framework applicability analysis — covered by Enable: Compliance Framework Clarity (Stage 4)
Pre.2 — Foundational identity and endpoint platform — covered by Enable: Unified Login & Endpoint Control (Stage 2)
Pre.3 — Backup architecture itself — covered by Enable: Ransomware Survivability (Stage 2)
Benchmarks drawn from SMB-scoped insurance and compliance research (Insureon and SeedPod Cyber broker benchmarks 2025–2026, Inteltech 2025–2026 audit requirements, IBM Cost of a Data Breach 2025, Cynomi 2025 State of the vCISO Report). Your specific control gaps and premium impact come from your environment and your insurer during the engagement.
