§ 04 For cyber-liability brokers

Refer the application you can't answer. Get back evidence.

Commercial insurance brokers placing cyber liability coverage for small healthcare, law, and CPA and tax practices are a primary DIAM referral channel. The engagement is straightforward: send the carrier application or the declination letter; DIAM replies within one business day with a scoping note the client can read without translation; the client gets a signed written risk analysis or Written Information Security Plan, a POA&M, and carrier-ready exhibits.

§ 04 For cyber-liability brokers

A technical partner for the application your client can't answer.

Carriers denied 41% of cyber applications on first submission in 2025. The denial pattern is nearly always the same across healthcare, law, and CPA books: the application attests to a control that is not actually in place — MFA on every account, immutable backups, a documented incident response plan, a callback procedure before every wire. DIAM produces the written evidence that either supports the attestation or tells the client what to fix first.

§ 04.1 When to refer a client

Four triggers reliably signal that a practice needs outside help before its next cyber-coverage interaction. A broker who catches any of these 60 to 90 days ahead of the event has the leverage to change the outcome.

  1. § 04.1

    Renewal is 90 or more days out

    and the practice has not been assessed against the eight-control spine since the last policy was bound.

  2. § 04.2

    A prior renewal was priced up, sub-limited, or excluded

    for control deficiencies, and the broker needs a remediation plan to present at rebind.

  3. § 04.3

    The practice has just received an incident or ransom notice

    and needs immediate triage while coverage is still in force.

  4. § 04.4

    The practice is a Texas firm with a mixed client book

    and is uncertain which state clocks apply — HIPAA and TDPSA for healthcare, SB 768 for law and CPA firms, the FTC Safeguards Rule for tax preparers.
