Move cyber insurance from static assessments to continuous risk intelligence.

Falcon is a continuous cyber risk intelligence platform for insurers, underwriters and reinsurers. It assesses risk across 30+ frameworks, distils it into a single Cyber Risk DNA score, and keeps monitoring after you bind — so a deteriorating risk never stays invisible until a claim.

Executive summary

Cyber insurance is a balance-sheet instrument — priced like a form.

Cyber insurance is no longer an IT product. It protects the balance sheet against operational disruption, regulatory fines, ransomware, business interruption, supply-chain compromise and reputational damage. Yet the industry still underwrites it on proposal forms and self-attestations — a limited snapshot of risk at a single point in time.

Falcon closes that gap by combining comprehensive risk assessment and third-party intelligence with continuous external monitoring, threat intelligence, credential-leak detection and attack-surface visibility — one platform across the whole cyber risk lifecycle.

The problem with traditional underwriting

Proposal forms can't see the risk they're pricing.

Current models depend on proposal forms, questionnaires, self-declarations and limited security assessments — and that creates significant blind spots.

CHALLENGE 01

One form can't assess every risk

A healthcare provider, a bank, a manufacturer, a pharma company and a cloud provider have fundamentally different cyber risk profiles — yet many insurers assess them with near-identical proposal forms. The result is inaccurate scoring, mispriced premiums and rising loss ratios.

CHALLENGE 02

Underwriters aren't cyber experts

Real cyber risk demands reading Zero Trust, identity security, OT/ICS, third-party risk, cloud security, data-protection frameworks and regulatory compliance. Without objective intelligence, it's hard to tell strong controls from a confident questionnaire.

THE GAP

Good, bad and ugly look alike

Mature governance, quiet control gaps and active compromise can all submit a clean form. Falcon separates them with evidence — controls maturity, real exposure and live threat indicators — not gut feel.

Our solution · Phase 1

Intelligent risk assessment, one DNA score.

Falcon runs a unified cyber risk assessment across more than 30 security and compliance frameworks, then converts the responses into a single Cyber Risk DNA score — measuring actual security maturity, not checkbox compliance.

Cyber Risk DNA

Real maturity, not a checkbox.

Instead of asking “Do you have MFA?”, Falcon evaluates coverage percentage, administrative accounts protected, vendor access controls, privileged identity controls and conditional-access maturity — then rolls assessment, threat intelligence and attack surface into one score.

Good, bad and ugly — automatically.

Falcon categorises every organisation by real posture, with the expected loss behaviour that follows — so you can select and price before binding.

Good risk

Strong controls, mature governance

  • Strong identity controls
  • Mature governance
  • Continuous vulnerability management
  • Low external exposure
  • Strong incident response
Expected outcomes
  • Lower claim frequency
  • Lower claim severity
  • Better loss ratios
Bad risk

Partial controls, real gaps

  • Partial control implementation
  • Security gaps
  • Weak third-party governance
  • Limited monitoring
Expected outcomes
  • Moderate claims likelihood
  • Higher premium requirements
Ugly risk

Exposed, compromised, active threat

  • Exposed assets
  • Leaked credentials
  • Poor patching
  • Weak governance
  • High ransomware susceptibility
Expected outcomes
  • Elevated claims probability
  • Premium uplift
  • Mandatory remediation
Our solution · Phase 2

The real risk begins after the policy is issued.

Most insurers lose visibility once a policy is bound — a major blind spot. Falcon keeps watching across four domains and re-scores posture continuously.

External attack surface

Internet-facing assets, shadow IT, unknown assets, exposed services and misconfigurations — the footprint applicants can't fully see themselves.

Outside-in

Threat intelligence

Dark-web monitoring, credential leaks, data-breach exposure, criminal-forum intelligence and malware indicators tied directly to the insured.

Threat intel

Vulnerability exposure

Exposed vulnerabilities, high-risk CVEs, exploitable assets and internet-facing weaknesses — ranked by what an attacker would actually reach first.

Vulnerabilities

Digital risk protection

Brand impersonation, domain spoofing, phishing infrastructure and executive impersonation detected before they turn into a claim.

Digital risk
Continuous underwriting

Risk posture updates continuously — not once a year.

Instead of an annual review, Falcon re-scores as the world changes. One insured, tracked over eight months:

Month 1
87/100
Baseline — strong posture at bind.
Month 3
73/100
Critical vulnerabilities increase.
Month 6
61/100
Leaked credentials discovered.
Month 8
48/100
Ransomware infrastructure observed.

The insurer receives proactive alerts before a claim occurs — not a surprise at renewal.

Benefits across the value chain

Value for every party to the policy.

See the portfolio, not the policy

  • Portfolio aggregation visibilityUnderstand cyber exposure concentration.
  • Accumulation risk analysisIdentify correlated cyber exposures.
  • Systemic risk monitoringDetect emerging threats across portfolios.
  • Better treaty pricingEnable data-driven reinsurance decisions.
For insured organisations

One assessment, continuous gain

  • Single assessmentOne assessment mapped across multiple frameworks.
  • Reduced compliance fatigueEliminate duplicate questionnaires.
  • Continuous security improvementTrack cyber posture over time.
  • Better premium opportunitiesStrong posture can earn preferred pricing.
Market opportunity

A growing market that's outgrowing static assessment.

$20B+
Global cyber insurance market —
projected to keep growing rapidly
  • Ransomware remains among the largest drivers of cyber claims.
  • Third-party and supply-chain compromises continue to rise.
  • Human error is involved in a majority of cyber incidents.
  • Organisations with continuous monitoring programs detect incidents significantly faster than those relying on annual assessments.

These trends are increasing demand for continuous cyber risk intelligence among insurers and reinsurers.

The future of cyber insurance

The future isn't annual questionnaires.

Traditional model
Assess → Bind → Wait for claim
The Falcon model
Assess → Underwrite → Monitor → Alert → Improve → Renew

Know the risk. Monitor the risk. Price the risk. Reduce the risk.

Falcon turns cyber insurance from a reactive claims product into a proactive risk-management platform for insurers, reinsurers and brokers. See it score — and keep watching — a real submission.
