How Cryptographic Attestation Can Reduce Cyber Insurance Premiums

The Premium Problem

Cyber insurance premiums have increased 50-100% since 2020. Insurers cannot accurately price risk because they cannot verify policyholder security posture.

The result: higher premiums for everyone, regardless of actual security investment.

Verified Policyholders Should Pay Less

HATS certification provides independently verifiable evidence that a policyholder maintains specific security controls. Not a questionnaire. Not a point-in-time audit. Continuous cryptographic proof.

What Gets Verified

  • Multi-factor authentication enforcement
  • Endpoint detection and response coverage
  • Backup and disaster recovery configuration
  • Vulnerability and patch management
  • Access control and privilege management
  • Encryption in transit and at rest

Each control is attested with three post-quantum signature families — ML-DSA, FALCON, SLH-DSA — and committed to a 74-byte H33-74 primitive.

The Insurer Value Proposition

For the insurer: verified risk means accurate pricing. Lower loss ratios. Better portfolio performance.

For the broker: differentiated quotes for verified clients. Reduced E&O exposure.

For the policyholder: lower premiums, faster renewals, verified HATS badge.

The Reinsurer View

Reinsurers need portfolio-level visibility. The HATS reinsurer demo shows aggregated cryptographic risk verification across the entire book.
