Who is signing your Cyber Liability attestations right now?
For a $20M to $100M firm, cybersecurity insurance isn't just a policy; it’s a set of promises. When your CIO seat is vacant, those promises often start to "drift."
The Symptom: You receive a 20-page security questionnaire from a major client or your insurance carrier. Your IT team says, "We've got it," and sends it back. You sign it. But do you actually know if your Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is enforced on every legacy system?
The Reality: In a leadership vacuum, technical teams focus on "uptime," not "attestation." If there is a gap between what you promised on paper and what is happening in your server room, your insurance coverage could be void when you need it most.
The Check:
- Is there a monthly audit of your security controls that lands on an executive's desk?
- If you had a breach today, who is the single point of accountability for the response plan?
If the answer is "the MSP" or "I'm not sure," you’ve lost the Sentinel.
The Continuity Goal: Maintain the Standard of Care. During a transition, you need an executive-level "Sentinel" who ensures that compliance doesn't slip and that your insurance standing remains bulletproof. Don't leave your personal liability to chance because of a temporary vacancy.
