Cyber insurance is now a core requirement for many New Zealand businesses. Whether it’s driven by board directives, client expectations, or internal risk strategy, the need is clear, but the process? Not so much.
What used to be a simple tick-box exercise has become something more technical, more detailed, and more confusing. Forms are full of jargon, requirements keep changing, and one wrong answer can cost you coverage, or worse, a rejected claim.
At NSP, we cut through the confusion.
We simplify the process, bring clarity to the complexity, and help you focus on what actually matters, reducing real cyber risk.
Cyber Insurance Doesn’t Have to Be Complex - Not When NSP Has Your Back
Yes, compliance still matters. Insurers want to see the fundamentals: antivirus, backups, MFA, and documented policies. These are the minimum requirements, and you need to meet them.
But increasingly, insurers are asking tougher, more specific questions:
Can you detect a breach quickly?
Do you have active monitoring in place?
Is there a tested response plan ready to go?
It’s no longer enough to say “we have the tools.” Insurers want to see that those tools are actually working, and that you know how to respond when it counts.
Compliance helps you qualify.
Risk mitigation helps you recover.
NSP helps you do both.
Smarter Cyber Insurance Starts with NSP
We partner with businesses and brokers to make the insurance process smooth, accurate, and stress-free. Our team works directly with you to bridge the gap between what the insurer is asking, and what’s actually happening in your environment.
We offer three flexible service options based on how much support you need:
1.Application Walkthrough
A step-by-step review of your cyber insurance application. We explain each question, clarify what insurers are really asking, and help you craft clear, confident responses.
Ideal for: businesses with good internal IT but limited insurance experience.
We guide you through the application and technically validate your answers. No assumptions, no guesswork. Just real, provable alignment between what’s claimed and what’s in place.
Ideal for: businesses wanting to reduce risk and ensure accuracy before submission.
We handle everything, from completing the application and assessing your environment, to implementing missing controls and helping you submit with confidence.
Ideal for: time-sensitive teams, complex environments, or high-value coverage needs.
We Don’t Just Help You Get Insured, We Help You Stay Secure.
Many providers stop at the application. We go further, because cyber insurance is only one part of managing risk.
NSP helps you build a security posture that works every day, not just on paper.
That includes:
24/7 Managed Detection and Response (MDR) to detect and contain threats fast
vCISO advisory to align security with business strategy
Incident response planning to keep teams ready for real-world scenarios
Ongoing security assessments to stay compliant and protected
Our clients don’t just meet the minimum, they’re proactive, prepared, and protected.
We also work closely with cyber insurance brokers who are navigating increasingly complex client needs.
The reality is: most brokers don’t want to decode technical forms, and clients don’t always understand what’s being asked. You’re stuck in the middle.
NSP takes that pressure off. We support you by working directly with your clients, explaining technical language, validating their answers, and giving you peace of mind that the submission is credible and complete.
Here’s what brokers get when partnering with NSP:
Less back and forth. We work directly with clients so you don’t have to chase them for technical detail.
Clearer, stronger submissions. No more guesswork or vague answers, just accurate, verified responses.
Faster turnarounds. Our process speeds up submissions and improves insurer confidence.
Added value. You become the broker who goes the extra mile, without needing to be the security expert.
You don’t need to have all the answers.
You just need a partner who does; that’s us.
