Questions

Does PolicyReady get me approved or insured?
No. It helps you assess and improve readiness; underwriting and coverage decisions are made by insurers. It does not sell, bind, or guarantee any policy.
Is this a security audit or a guarantee I'm secure?
No. It is a self-assessment against commonly requested controls — a strong starting point, not a penetration test or a guarantee against a breach.
Is this insurance or legal advice?
No. PolicyReady is an educational readiness tool. For coverage decisions talk to a licensed broker; for legal questions, an attorney.
Who is it for?
Small and mid-sized businesses without a dedicated security team who want to understand what insurers expect.
Does it connect to my systems?
No. Your answers are self-reported; the app does not scan or access your network.
Is my business data private?
Your assessment data is stored for your use and is not sold. See the in-app privacy policy.
Please note. PolicyReady is an educational readiness tool. It is not insurance, legal, or security-audit advice. It scores your readiness from your own self-reported answers against published frameworks, which makes it a structured estimate of where you stand — not a security audit, not a penetration test, and not a guarantee against a breach. It does not sell, bind, or guarantee any policy, and a high readiness score does not mean an insurer will approve you or lower your premium: underwriting is the insurer's decision, made on their own application, which is what governs your coverage. Confirm anything you rely on with your IT or security lead, and talk to a licensed broker about coverage and an attorney about legal questions.
