Protecting your operations and your balance sheet. No cyber security programme can eliminate risk completely. Cyber Resilience 360 helps protect your technology, identities, employees, information and business operations. Through our relationship with Consilium, clients can also access specialist cyber insurance expertise to explore appropriate financial protection for the risk that remains.
Even an organisation with strong security controls, effective monitoring, resilient backups and trained employees can experience a cyber incident. The right protection therefore needs to consider two related questions:
A serious cyber incident can create consequences across the whole organisation. Depending on the circumstances, a business may need to manage:
Strong technical controls can reduce the likelihood of an incident and help limit its impact. However, they cannot guarantee that every incident will be prevented or remove every potential financial consequence.
Cyber insurance can provide an additional layer of financial protection and specialist support, depending on the policy purchased and the circumstances of the incident. The exact cover will always be determined by the insurer, underwriting information and the terms, conditions, exclusions and limits of the issued policy.
Cyber Resilience 360 brings together the practical controls an organisation needs to protect its environment and improve its ability to respond. Depending on the selected service level, this can include:
These capabilities help the organisation prevent incidents, identify suspicious activity, contain threats, recover information and demonstrate that cyber risk is being actively managed.
Cyber insurance may provide access to specialist support and financial protection for certain losses or liabilities arising from an insured cyber incident.
The protection available will depend on the policy. It may address areas such as incident response, forensic investigation, recovery assistance, business interruption, crisis management and certain third-party liabilities.
Cyber insurance does not replace effective security. Equally, strong technical security does not eliminate every possible operational or financial consequence.
The strongest resilience strategy considers both.
Many organisations discuss cyber insurance only when a policy is due for renewal. By that point, weaknesses in security controls, recovery arrangements or governance may already be affecting the conversation.
Reliable Networks takes a more structured approach. We begin by helping the organisation understand its current cyber resilience position. This can include reviewing:
The findings are prioritised according to their relevance and potential business impact. Where Cyber Resilience 360 services are selected, we then help implement, operate and improve the appropriate controls.
This creates a clearer security position and more useful evidence for a subsequent insurance discussion. It does not guarantee particular insurance terms, but it helps ensure that the conversation is based on an informed view of the organisation’s cyber risk and control environment.
Reliable Networks works with Consilium to connect practical cyber resilience with specialist cyber insurance expertise.
Our role is to help clients:
Consilium provides access to specialist cyber insurance guidance based on the organisation, its activities and its risk profile.
The insurance relationship, recommendations, quotations and policy documentation are handled through the appropriate insurance process. Any insurance offered remains subject to underwriting, accurate disclosure and the terms of the issued policy.
Together, the aim is to create a more informed and joined-up conversation about prevention, response, recovery and financial protection.
Depending on the selected insurer and issued policy, cyber insurance may provide protection or specialist support relating to areas such as the following.
Access to specialist resources that may include forensic investigators, legal advisers, breach-response professionals and crisis-management support.
Financial protection relating to defined disruption caused by an insured cyber event.
Protection for certain cybercrime or social-engineering scenarios where these are included within the policy.
Specialist support when responding to ransomware or cyber extortion events, within the terms and conditions of the policy.
Protection for certain legal expenses, investigations or regulatory matters arising from an insured cyber incident.
Protection against specific liabilities connected with customers, suppliers or other third parties, subject to the policy terms and limits.
Insurers may ask organisations to provide information about the controls they have in place. Cyber Resilience 360 helps clients establish and evidence practical security measures across important areas of risk.
Monitoring and protecting identities can reduce exposure to account compromise, unauthorised access and business email compromise.
Managed endpoint protection helps identify suspicious behaviour across supported laptops, desktops and servers.
Ongoing monitoring and investigation provide greater visibility of potential threats and security incidents.
Regular identification, prioritisation and remediation of weaknesses demonstrate that the organisation is actively reducing exposure.
Security posture management helps identify risky settings, configuration weaknesses and policy drift within Microsoft 365.
Managed learning and phishing simulations provide evidence that employees receive continuing guidance about cyber threats.
Independent Microsoft 365 backup supports information recovery and demonstrates that cloud-data resilience has been considered.
Documented responsibilities, security requirements, escalation routes and review arrangements demonstrate organisational accountability.
Defined decision-making and escalation processes help the organisation prepare for a serious incident.
Certification can provide independent evidence that relevant fundamental controls have been implemented and, for Cyber Essentials Plus, technically verified within the agreed scope.
Constant automated tracking of your infrastructure against strict baseline security frameworks to detect deviations instantly.
Strategic leadership to bring your security controls, risks and ongoing improvement activities into one unified business roadmap.
Together, these capabilities help an organisation present a clearer picture of how cyber risk is being managed.
When a serious cyber incident happens, technical recovery is only one part of the response. An organisation may need to coordinate technical specialists, senior management, legal advisers, communications teams, customers, regulators and insurers. Delays or uncertainty around responsibilities can increase disruption at precisely the point when clear decision-making is most important.
Cyber Resilience 360 establishes a coordinated route through:
Suspicious activity is detected through endpoint, identity or security monitoring, or reported by an employee or third party.
Action is taken to limit further impact and protect critical systems, accounts and information.
Available evidence is reviewed to determine whether the activity represents a credible incident and what may be affected.
Systems and information are restored through the appropriate technical and backup processes. Where relevant, the organisation coordinates with its insurance specialist and appointed incident-response providers.
The appropriate technical, management, legal, regulatory and insurance contacts are engaged according to the nature and severity of the incident.
The incident and response are reviewed, and lessons are converted into improved controls, policies, training and response arrangements.
Monitoring, technical response, leadership escalation, backup and insurance considerations are connected rather than treated as separate conversations.
Effective cyber resilience begins with a clear understanding of the organisation’s current position.
The Cyber Resilience 360 Assessment examines three principal areas:
The resulting resilience baseline helps leadership understand:
The outcome is a practical improvement roadmap rather than a collection of disconnected technical findings.
Answers to the questions organisations ask about cyber security and cyber insurance readiness.
No. Cyber insurance and cyber security perform different roles. Security controls help reduce the likelihood and impact of cyber incidents. Insurance may provide cover for specified financial losses or liabilities that remain, subject to the issued policy.
No. Cyber Resilience 360 can help strengthen your security position and provide clearer evidence of the controls you operate. Insurance remains subject to underwriting, accurate disclosure and the insurer’s acceptance criteria.
No. The outcome of any claim depends on the circumstances of the incident and the terms, conditions, limits and exclusions of the issued policy.
Specialist cyber insurance expertise is provided through Consilium. Reliable Networks focuses on the technical, operational and governance elements of cyber resilience.
Reliable Networks can help provide relevant information about the technical controls and managed services operating within the agreed scope. The client remains responsible for ensuring that all information submitted to an insurer is complete and accurate.
Not necessarily. However, beginning with an assessment can help identify weaknesses, clarify existing controls and create a more informed basis for the insurance conversation.
