# Cyber Insurance Questionnaire Asking About MFA, EDR and Backups? What It Means

Insurers ask whether you have basic controls in place: two-step login (MFA) on email and remote access, endpoint detection and response (EDR) on computers, tested offline backups, security training and timely updates. Answer honestly, because a wrong “yes” can put a claim at risk.

- **Starting price:** From $500

- **Where:** Remote, anywhere in the U.S.

- **Quote:** Fixed price before work starts

## Try this first

- Read each question and note any term you don’t understand
- Check which controls you actually have, everywhere
- Turn on MFA for email, remote access and admin accounts first
- Confirm your backups are separate from your network and test a restore
- Ask your agent whether partial answers are acceptable
- Keep notes on what you have and when you set it up

Common causes

- Insurers tightening requirements after ransomware losses
- Questions written in security jargon
- Controls that exist on some computers but not all
- Backups that have never been tested

### Does Microsoft 365 count as a backup?

Usually not by itself. Insurers want separate backups you can restore from.
