CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and other EDR vendors — their warranties only cover their own stack. Breach Warranty is the first insurance-backed, vendor-agnostic financial layer that works across your entire environment. It pays first. Before your cyber insurance ever kicks in.
Four converging forces are creating a market that existing solutions can't address.
Premiums rising. Exclusions multiplying. Underwriters demanding more evidence of control posture — and still declining or limiting coverage for complex environments.
CrowdStrike's warranty only works if you run CrowdStrike. SentinelOne's only covers SentinelOne. Real environments run multiple vendors. No existing warranty covers that.
Traditional insurance claims take months. Adjusters, coverage disputes, and exclusion arguments delay financial response when businesses need it most — immediately after a breach.
Organizations investing heavily in security controls see little to no benefit in their insurance pricing or placement. The link between good security and financial outcomes is broken.

Breach Warranty sits at the center of a three-layer model that connects governance, financial protection, and insurance alignment into one deployable solution.
Turn-key security governance for clients without an internal security team. The environment is assessed and validated against defined standards — creating the evidence trail that activates the warranty and supports underwriting.
An insurance-backed financial layer attached to the validated environment. If a breach occurs, Breach Warranty responds first — before the traditional cyber insurance policy triggers. Faster. Defined. Vendor agnostic.
The warranty improves underwriting alignment and supports placement for hard-to-place risks. Carriers get cleaner posture data. Brokers get better outcomes. Clients get coverage that actually reflects their security investment.
From validation to financial response — a defined, repeatable process.
Security controls, monitoring, and infrastructure are assessed against defined standards. This creates a verified posture that supports both the warranty and the underwriting process — with no ambiguity.
A structured first-loss financial layer is applied to the validated environment. Insurance-backed. Vendor agnostic. Defined triggers. No surprises about when it responds or what qualifies.
The warranty sits in front of the traditional cyber policy — complementing coverage, improving placement, and enabling faster financial response when a breach occurs. The whole stack works together.
Breach Warranty is designed for partner-driven deployment across three distinct buyer motions.
Your clients want to know what happens financially when a breach gets through. Your security stack alone can't answer that. Breach Warranty gives you a vendor-agnostic financial layer — and a new recurring revenue stream.
Your warranty shouldn't live on your balance sheet. Every major EDR vendor is now expected to offer breach warranty coverage — but self-funded warranties create real exposure. Let us underwrite it.
Breach Warranty gives brokers and MGAs a turn-key, fully integrated cyber risk solution — combining vCISO governance, a first-loss warranty layer, and cyber insurance alignment into one deployable package.
Breach Warranty was founded by Tim Hepner, who has spent his career working at the intersection of cybersecurity, technology infrastructure, and insurance. Tim recognized a structural gap in how security posture, financial risk, and insurance outcomes connect — and built Breach Warranty to close it.
Based in Wichita, Kansas, Breach Warranty Inc. is developing next-generation cyber risk transfer models designed to align security, underwriting, and financial response in ways the market has never seen. The idea is straightforward: validated environments deserve a financial layer that reflects their posture. Breach Warranty is that layer.
