Small Business Cyber Starter Kit

13-page fillable kit for solo founders and 2-25 person businesses — 2026 cyber insurance pre-fill worksheet (19 carrier questions), 7 starter policies (AUP, Password, Data Handling, Privacy Notice, IR Plan, Onboarding/Offboarding, Vendor Risk), and a 90-day implementation roadmap. 67 text fields + 66 checkboxes.

Built around the 2026 cyber insurance questionnaire. If you're applying for or renewing cyber insurance, your broker just sent you a 12-20 page application asking line-by-line about MFA, EDR, backups, and training. This kit answers those exact questions — honestly.

Why 2026 matters: carrier applications now run 12-20 pages with line-by-line control questions. 82% of denied claims in 2024 involved organizations without MFA. Material misrepresentation clauses void coverage if you overstated security on the application — this kit helps you answer honestly.

For solo founders, freelancers, agencies, e-commerce shops, consultants, and 2-25 person businesses. Not SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / HIPAA / PCI — this gives your compliance consultant a head start.
