For Insurers & Brokers: Practical IG1-Focused Support
Blu3berryPi helps small and mid-sized insureds understand, implement, and evidence the basic controls that reduce loss frequency and improve insurability—using CIS Controls v8 and IG1 as a guide.
The SMB Security Gap
Many smaller insureds struggle with security expectations. Forms mention MFA, logging, privileged access management, and vendor controls—but they may not have staff who understand what that means in practice.
- “Yes/No” attestation doesn’t capture partial or in-progress implementation.
- Insureds may not know how to design a realistic roadmap for control adoption.
- Evidence is often ad hoc, incomplete, or missing entirely.
- MSPs may handle operations, but not necessarily framework-level alignment.
Our Role with Your Insureds
Blu3berryPi is an independent security advisor that helps insureds turn expectations into concrete, right-sized actions.
- Use IG1 as a baseline to interpret control requirements.
- Develop prioritized remediation plans focused on the highest-impact gaps.
- Coordinate with MSPs and internal IT to execute work.
- Produce light-touch documentation and evidence packages.
The goal is better control adoption, more accurate underwriting information, and fewer avoidable incidents.
Evidence, Not Just Promises
Configuration Snapshots
Screenshots, exports, and short narratives showing how MFA, backups, logging, or filtering are actually configured.
Process Descriptions
Plain-English descriptions of key processes (e.g., user onboarding/offboarding, patching cadence, backup testing).
Roadmaps & Exceptions
Simple roadmaps explaining what will be improved over the next 6–12 months, and where exceptions are consciously accepted.
Why Work with Blu3berryPi
We’re a small, practitioner-led service focused on practical, verifiable basics—not security theater.
- Improved adherence to IG1-level fundamentals for your insureds.
- More accurate, evidence-backed responses to control questionnaires.
- Reduced confusion between what MSPs cover and what they don’t.
- Support for post-incident improvement plans where required by the carrier.
Interested in a Focused Program?
We can support targeted efforts—for example, helping a subset of your insureds strengthen MFA, backup, and email controls that align directly with common loss scenarios.
