From Cyber Tzar – Cyber Risk Intelligence, Built for Law Firms

Cyber insurance is no longer a luxury or an afterthought for law firms — it’s becoming a regulatory expectation and a client assurance tool. But premiums are rising, exclusions are growing, and underwriters are asking tougher questions.

If your firm is buying or renewing cyber insurance in 2025, it’s no longer enough to simply claim you have controls in place. You need to prove it.

At Cyber Tzar, we help firms prepare for these conversations with evidence-based cyber risk intelligence — giving both insurers and regulators confidence in your risk posture.

Why Cyber Cover Now Matters More Than Ever

  • Rising attack volume: The legal sector continues to be a prime target for ransomware, business email compromise, and supplier-based attacks.

  • Higher impact: Even minor incidents can result in data loss, ICO notifications, and reputational harm.

  • Increased scrutiny: Insurers want verifiable assurance before issuing or renewing policies.

The result? Firms that can’t demonstrate control are facing higher premiums, higher excesses, or limited coverage.

What Cyber Insurers Are Asking for in 2025

Underwriters are no longer satisfied with yes/no checkboxes. They now expect detailed answers — and evidence — on the following:

🔒 1. Do you actively monitor for vulnerabilities?

  • When was your last scan?

  • Was it internal only — or external-facing too?

  • What did you find, and how long did it take to fix?

Cyber Tzar provides:

  • Continuous vulnerability scanning

  • Historical remediation logs

  • Audit-ready reports by asset and timeframe

🧠 2. Do you prioritise based on business risk?

  • How do you decide which vulnerabilities to fix first?

  • Are high-risk systems (email, client portals, financials) protected?

Cyber Tzar provides:

  • Risk-weighted prioritisation

  • Mapping of vulnerabilities to data sensitivity

  • Business-aligned remediation workflow

🧩 3. Can you evidence third-party due diligence?

  • Do you assess the cyber hygiene of your cloud providers and outsourced IT?

  • Can you show the last time you reviewed your suppliers?

Cyber Tzar provides:

  • Live third-party risk monitoring

  • Supplier-specific risk scores

  • Logs of inherited risk from integrations or vendors

📜 4. Do you have incident logs and breach response evidence?

  • Can you demonstrate how you detect and respond to events?

  • Have you documented and retained incident logs?

Cyber Tzar provides:

  • Real-time alerting and event history

  • Exportable incident records

  • Structured documentation for insurer, regulator, or ICO use

📊 5. Do you have a live risk posture dashboard?

  • Can your board, insurer, or regulator see your current exposure?

  • How do you track progress over time?

Cyber Tzar provides:

  • Executive-friendly dashboards

  • Trend analysis over weeks and months

  • Cyber Risk Score tailored to law firm risk models

Benefits Beyond the Policy

Even beyond renewal and pricing, insurers now reward proactive firms with:

  • Reduced premiums

  • Lower excess thresholds

  • Fewer exclusions

  • Faster payouts in the event of a claim

Firms that can’t demonstrate this maturity? They’re often left exposed, underinsured, or worse — denied coverage post-breach due to non-disclosure or weak controls.

Summary: The Insurance Market Has Evolved — Have You?

Cyber insurance is no longer about ticking a box. It’s about demonstrating operational maturity with clear, evidence-based metrics.

Cyber Tzar helps law firms:

  • Prepare for insurance renewals

  • Reduce risk exposure

  • Prove cyber maturity to underwriters

  • Lower overall cost of cover
