The following are common reasons cyber insurance applications are denied:
- Inadequate cyber security testing procedures and audits
- Inefficient processes to stay current on new releases and patches
- Inadequate cyber incident response plans
- Inadequate backup processes and recovery procedures
- Inadequate policies concerning the security of vendors and business partners
- Poor-quality security software and employee training
- Lack of adherence to a published security standard
