Next-Generation Cyber Risk Transfer

The Breach Warranty
Every EDR Vendor
Wishes They Had.

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.

The Problem

The Gap Between Security
and Insurance Is Growing.

Four converging forces are creating a market that existing solutions can't address.

Cyber Insurance Is Harder to Place

Premiums rising. Exclusions multiplying. Underwriters demanding more evidence of control posture — and still declining or limiting coverage for complex environments.

Vendor Warranties Are Too Narrow

CrowdStrike's warranty only works if you run CrowdStrike. SentinelOne's only covers SentinelOne. Real environments run multiple vendors. No existing warranty covers that.

Claims Are Slow and Uncertain

Traditional insurance claims take months. Adjusters, coverage disputes, and exclusion arguments delay financial response when businesses need it most — immediately after a breach.

Security Posture Doesn't Translate to Pricing

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.

Until Now. The layer that connects security, financial response, and insurance alignment has never existed — as a standalone, vendor-agnostic, insurance-backed product. Breach Warranty is that layer.
The Difference

Not Another Tool. Not Another Policy.

The Solution

The Complete Cyber Risk Stack.

Breach Warranty sits at the center of a three-layer model that connects governance, financial protection, and insurance alignment into one deployable solution.

Layer 01
Governance
vCISO · Security Validation

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.

  • vCISO services
  • Control validation
  • Compliance alignment
  • Evidence documentation
↓
Layer 02
Breach Warranty
First-Loss Financial Layer

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.

  • Insurance-backed
  • Vendor agnostic
  • Defined triggers
  • First-loss response
↓
Layer 03
Cyber Insurance
Traditional Policy · Improved Placement

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.

  • Improved placement
  • Better pricing alignment
  • Cleaner underwriting data
  • Stronger renewals
Process

Three Steps. One Integrated Layer.

From validation to financial response — a defined, repeatable process.

1
Validate the Environment

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.

2
Attach the Warranty Layer

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.

3
Align With Insurance

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.

For Partners

Built for the Intersection of Cybersecurity,
Insurance, and Infrastructure.

Breach Warranty is designed for partner-driven deployment across three distinct buyer motions.

For MSPs & MSSPs

The Warranty Your Clients Have Been Asking For.

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.

  • Add a first-loss financial layer to every validated client environment
  • Differentiate against single-vendor warranties tied to one platform
  • Create new recurring revenue tied to protection, not just monitoring
  • Support clients navigating cyber insurance requirements
  • White-label available — brand it as your own offering

For EDR & Security Vendors

Make Your Warranty Insurance-Backed. Without the Liability.

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.

  • Transfer balance sheet warranty risk to an insurance structure
  • White-labeled under your brand — powered by Breach Warranty infrastructure
  • Stack-dependent on your EDR controls — your environment, your standards
  • CFO and legal-friendly structure with defined caps and triggers
  • Differentiate from competitors still self-funding their warranties

    Common Questions

    Everything You Need to Know.

    How is Breach Warranty different from cyber insurance?
    +
    Cyber insurance is a traditional policy that responds after a breach — often with a lengthy claims process, adjusters, and significant waiting periods. Breach Warranty is a first-loss financial layer that responds before the insurance policy is triggered. It's faster, defined by validated breach evidence, and designed to complement your existing policy — not replace it. Think of it as the financial layer that pays while your insurance claim is being processed.
    How does the warranty get triggered?
    +
    The warranty is triggered by validated breach evidence assessed against the defined standards established during environment validation. This removes ambiguity — both sides know exactly what qualifies, which means faster response and no surprises. The validation process up front creates the evidentiary baseline that makes fast response possible.
    Does my client have to use a specific security vendor?
    +
    No. That's one of the most important differences between Breach Warranty and vendor-issued warranties from companies like CrowdStrike or SentinelOne. Breach Warranty is vendor agnostic — it works across mixed environments, multiple platforms, and complex infrastructure. If your client runs three different security tools across two cloud providers, Breach Warranty can still apply to that environment.
    Who underwrites the warranty?
    +
    Breach Warranty works with insurance partners to underwrite the first-loss layer. This is what separates it from self-funded vendor warranties — the financial backing comes from an insurance structure, not a vendor's balance sheet. Contact Tim directly to discuss the underwriting structure and insurance backing in detail.
    Is this available to white-label or embed in a partner offering?
    +
    Yes. Breach Warranty is designed for partner-driven deployment. MSPs, MSSPs, cybersecurity platforms, and EDR vendors can all embed or co-brand the warranty layer as part of their own offering. Insurance brokers and MGAs can deploy the full Cyber-in-a-Box package across their book of business. Contact Tim to discuss the partnership structure and fit.
