"My broker sent me a questionnaire" is the moment most businesses realize they don't actually know where they stand. Answer 10 quick questions — modeled on the real underwriting themes major carriers like Coalition, At-Bay, and Chubb ask — and see your estimated readiness grade instantly. Every question cites the real control category it maps to.
Most "security scorecards" are self-graded quizzes with made-up questions. This one is grounded in the actual control categories (SOC2 Trust Services Criteria, NIST CSF) that cyber insurance carriers underwrite against — the same categories our Argos GRC platform tracks for clients.
MFA and endpoint detection carry the most weight — they're the two controls carriers screen hardest, because they're the two most common ransomware entry points. Softer controls (training, vendor risk) carry proportionally less.
A missing answer isn't just a red X — it's mapped to the actual SOC2 or NIST control category a carrier would flag it under, so you know exactly what a real questionnaire would ask next.
Argos GRC's AI drafts an actual carrier questionnaire from your real environment evidence — not self-report guesses — with confidence scores and evidence citations on every answer. This free version is the estimate; that's the real assessment.
No — this is a planning estimate modeled on the common themes across major carriers' real underwriting categories. Your actual carrier's questionnaire will differ in wording and may ask additional questions specific to your policy.
No — this runs entirely in your browser based on your own answers and sends us nothing until you choose to request a review. A real Argos GRC assessment is what actually pulls evidence from your environment.
Carriers price premiums and set eligibility based largely on whether you meet baseline controls like MFA, EDR, and tested backups. Gaps in those areas are the most common reason for higher premiums, coverage exclusions, or declined applications.
Even better time to check — closing gaps before you apply typically gets a better first quote than applying first and remediating after a carrier flags problems.
A 20-minute call scopes a real readiness review — we map your actual controls against your carrier's real questionnaire and show you exactly what to close first.
