COMPLIANCE & REGULATORY SOLUTIONS
Information security (infosec) questionnaires are a critical component of the cybersecurity insurance underwriting process, helping insurers assess an organization’s risk profile by evaluating security controls, policies, and incident response capabilities. These questionnaires cover areas like data protection, network security, employee training, and incident management. Completing them accurately and efficiently is essential, as delays can impact policy issuance, pricing, and renewal timelines. Rapid completion not only streamlines the insurance process but also demonstrates the organization’s preparedness and commitment to cybersecurity best practices, often resulting in more favorable terms and lower premiums. Organizations with well-documented security programs and automation tools are better positioned to respond quickly, minimizing business disruptions. ABM can help set your business up for success to not only address cybersecurity threats but to also put your best foot forward when completing infosec questionnaires for insurance, vendor onboarding, and security reviews for regulated industries and government.
Provide precise and honest responses, reflecting the current state of your cybersecurity practices. Misrepresentation or vague answers can lead to policy denials, coverage gaps, or claim rejections. If certain controls are not fully implemented, clearly outline any compensating measures or planned improvements.

If certain controls are not fully implemented, clearly outline any compensating measures or planned improvements. Support your responses with well-documented policies, procedures, and reports.
Involve relevant teams—such as IT, compliance, legal, and risk management—to ensure comprehensive responses. Cybersecurity touches multiple departments, and cross-functional input ensures all aspects, from technical controls to governance, are accurately covered.
Use a centralized repository for past questionnaires and leverage automation tools to streamline the process. Consistent responses across similar questionnaires reduce errors and build credibility. Automation platforms can pre-fill repetitive sections, speeding up completion while maintaining quality and alignment with past submissions.
