For Underwriters and MGAs
SME cyber readiness data, built around the controls you already ask about.
CyberScore is a 22-question self-assessment that Australian small business owners complete in plain English. It maps to the ACSC Essential Eight and the controls on a typical cyber proposal form: MFA, backups, patching, endpoint protection, staff awareness.
The Gap
Most SMEs arrive unprepared
Many small businesses do not know what MFA or offline backups are until the proposal form asks.
Proposal forms are yes/no
CyberScore asks the same questions in plain language and explains why each one matters, so answers are more considered.
Brokers need a starting point
A readiness report gives the broker and the client a shared view of the gaps before a quote is sought.
What the Assessment Captures
- Access control and MFA
- Backup and recovery
- Patching and supported systems
- Endpoint protection
- Staff awareness and phishing
- Incident response readiness
Scoring uses a structured risk approach informed by the FAIR model. See Methodology.
Pilot Data Partner Program
We are inviting three underwriters or MGAs to help shape CyberScore during our broker pilot.
You get
- Anonymised, aggregated readiness data from pilot assessments

- Early access to any future broker integration
- No cost
We ask
- 30 minutes to review the question set
- Feedback on the report format
- Permission to name you as a pilot partner, only if you agree
Where We Are, Honestly
CyberScore is new. The assessment has not yet been validated against claims data, and no insurer currently uses it for pricing. The pilot is how we will build that evidence, with your input.
Data and Privacy
Pilot data is shared only in anonymised, aggregated form. Individual business results are never shared without that business's consent. See our Privacy Policy.
