Is DefenderBasic enough to meet cyber-insurance requirements?

For many small to medium business policies, yes – insurers usually look for multi-factor authentication, up-to-date patching and proven backups. DefenderBasic delivers all three and produces evidence you can attach to renewal forms.

How quickly can we be up and running?

Most businesses complete onboarding in 7 business days:
Essentials Scan day 1
MFA and critical patches by day 3
Backup verification by day 7

Do we need any extra hardware or on-site visits?

No. All controls are cloud-managed and can be deployed remotely to Windows, macOS and Microsoft 365.

Can we add phishing training or application control later?

Absolutely. You can either step up to DefenderCore at any time; the upgrade enables allow-listed apps, phishing-resistant email filtering and geo-restricted sign-ins without starting from scratch or opt for add-ons as that suite your businesses needs.
