About Assured Cyber Protection
Assured Cyber Protection is an independent, ad-free resource that explains cyber security and cyber insurance in plain English for UK businesses. We write for owners and managers, not security engineers, so the language stays practical and jargon-free.
Most of our readers run small and medium businesses. You want to understand your cyber risk, buy the right cover, and avoid the warranty traps that void a claim later. That is what we cover: how cyber insurance works, what affects your premium, what good security looks like, and the tools to check where you stand. The aim is simple. Understand your cyber risk, then sleep at night.
We are independent. We are not owned by an insurer or a broker, and we do not take advertising.
How we research
We work from primary sources and recognised UK standards rather than secondhand summaries. That means the NCSC Cyber Essentials scheme, the ICO’s guidance on GDPR and data protection, and ISO 27001 principles, plus real policy wordings and published claims data where we can cite them. When we use a figure, we say where it came from and when it was published, so you can check it and judge whether it still holds.
Where we test or compare tools, calculators, and processes, we describe what we did and what we found.
We do not invent named experts or fake credentials, and we do not attach a made-up byline to make an article look more authoritative. Our work is produced and reviewed by the Assured Cyber Protection editorial team.
Editorial standards
We aim for accuracy over speed. Articles are written to be specific: real numbers, real source names, and clear caveats about what we do not know. We avoid scare tactics and vendor bias, because frightening you into a bad purchase helps no one.
If we get something wrong, we want to fix it. Tell us, and we will correct the page and note the change. Guidance here is general information, not regulated financial or legal advice for your specific situation, so check policy details with the provider before you buy.
Some links to providers may earn us a referral fee if you contact them through us. That fee never changes which products we recommend or what we write about them.
