The challenge
A renewal questionnaire from their cyber-insurance carrier surfaced gaps Northwood didn’t know they had. MFA was only on some accounts. The endpoint stack was three different products that didn’t talk to each other. Documentation lived in someone’s head.
What we did
We mapped the questionnaire to our standardized security baseline and worked through it line by line. Identity locked down. Endpoint consolidated onto our managed EDR. Email security upgraded. Documentation rebuilt in a system the whole team can use.
“We knew we were behind. What we didn’t know was how quickly the right partner could get us back ahead.”
The outcome
Renewal premium came in 22% lower than the prior year despite an industry trend going the other way. More importantly: the firm now has the controls and documentation to handle any client diligence request that comes in.
