What we actually look at.
Most cyber proposal forms ask whether you have multi-factor authentication. We look at where it is enforced, who is exempt, and how admin access is controlled. These are the areas that shape your terms.
Internet-facing services, remote access, expired certificates and forgotten domains: what an attacker sees first.
MFA across email, remote access and privileged accounts. Conditional access, admin separation and how access is removed when people leave.
Offline or immutable copies, restore tests that actually happened, and a realistic view of how long it takes to bring core systems back.
SPF, DKIM and DMARC enforcement, mail filtering, and how your finance team verifies a change in banking details.
Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, AWS and Azure: logging, external sharing, legacy authentication and the misconfigurations behind many cloud incidents.
Endpoint detection, log coverage, and whether someone is watching and able to act outside office hours.
Underwriters and engineers, in the same room.
Most cyber policies are priced by people who have never configured a firewall. At UIG, every risk is reviewed by underwriters who understand insurance and engineers who understand infrastructure, cloud and attack surfaces. The result is cover that reflects how your business actually runs.

Cover in four clear steps.
From first conversation to bound policy, every step is designed to give you a clearer picture of your own risk, whether or not you buy.
Request a Cyber Risk Check
A short intake covering your business, your IT environment and the cover you need. Brokers can submit on a client's behalf.
We assess your posture
With your written consent, we run a non-intrusive review of your external attack surface and discuss your controls with your IT lead or provider.
Terms priced on reality
Your quote reflects the controls you actually have. Where a gap affects terms, we tell you what it is and what would change it.
Bind and stay supported
Once cover is in place, your policy schedule tells you exactly who to call if something goes wrong, and what happens next.
