Question 1

What is the Cyber Defense Score?

Accepted Answer

The Cyber Defense Score is an A-F letter grade plus a 0-100 numerical score produced by an external attack surface scan. It shows you exactly what cyber insurance underwriters see when they assess your business, mapped to NIST CSF 2.0 underwriting criteria.

Question 2

How does Cyber Defense Agent help with cyber insurance?

Accepted Answer

Cyber Defense Agent runs the same external scans that cyber insurance underwriters use. By scanning first, you can identify and fix gaps before your application. Then we match you with carriers based on your industry, location, and readiness score.

Question 3

Is Cyber Defense Agent free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Everything is free — the scan, the score, the recommendations, and quote matching with carriers. No signup required, no credit card, no obligation.

Question 4

Why was my cyber insurance application denied?

Accepted Answer

The most common denial reasons are: no MFA on email and remote access (41% of denials), missing DMARC email authentication, open RDP ports, no EDR/endpoint protection, and no incident response plan. Cyber Defense Agent scans for all of these and shows you exactly what to fix before reapplying.

Question 5

How long does a scan take?

Accepted Answer

A full external attack surface scan completes in approximately 60 seconds. No software installation, no questionnaires, and no credit card required. You see the same view of your attack surface that underwriters see.
