Does Risk Scores Drive Cyber Insurance Underwriting for Better?

By CIO Applications| Monday, February 17, 2020

Here's why service providers depend on risk score calculators to offer valuable cyber insurance policies.   

FREMONT, CA: Modern security measures under cybersecurity approaches have become obligatory for businesses operating in today's hyper-connected platforms. However, no protection is reliable when it comes to cyber threats. Hence, in addition to security measures, businesses are seeking to buy cyber insurance for their organizations. This has led to increased opportunities for insurance service providers who are now seeking to cater to a rapidly expanding market for cyber insurance products. For the insurers, cyber insurance is a new domain, and several of the insurance firms are seeking to design service delivery models. Risk scores are an essential metric that can help insurers determine the level of security insurance seeking organizations have and, thus, result in specific underwriting.

Evaluations that produce qualitative reports concerning cyber risk and security are not beneficial enough for insurance organizations. On the other hand, risk scores, which are a quantitative measure of how to secure business is against cyber threats, are much more insightful. Insurers can use the specified ratings to get a clear understanding of applicants. The risk scores are based on a wide variety of factors like an organization's security infrastructure, data management strategy, and disaster response policies, teams, and overall IT framework. Thus, risk scores give insurance businesses a credible and accurate view of a potential client company's risk outline.

Also, to the objectivity, the risk scores facilitate insurance companies to conduct a similar analysis of different organizations. Deciding whether or not to underwrite a candidate can be a difficult decision. By being able to analyze risk scores, insurers can differentiate cybersecurity competencies and then provide services accordingly. Moreover, insurance premiums can be tailored according to risk rates to make underwriting profitable for the service providers.

Cybersecurity issues are complex, and risk scores give it a simple angle to make cyber insurance offerings quick and efficient. The insured organizations also get a chance to improve security performance when they are notified of the risk scores, resulting in mitigated risks both for the insured and the insurers.
