OBRYN GUARD® • EXECUTIVE OUTCOME BRIEF

Pass Insurance

Outcome
Underwriting-ready • Fewer follow-ups • Better terms
Proof packs beat promises.

Cyber insurance underwriting is not a conversation about “security.” It’s a test of proof: MFA enforced, access controlled, staff trained, vendors governed, and controls documented. OBRYN Guard is built to make hotels insurable by reducing staff-driven risk and producing insurer-ready evidence on demand.

Rule 1
Controls must be enforced
Optional MFA = underwriting risk.
Rule 2
Controls must be documented
If it isn’t logged, it doesn’t exist.
Rule 3
Controls must be operating
Reviews + cadence + sign-off.

What underwriting is really testing

Underwriters aren’t trying to “learn your tech.” They’re trying to judge whether a claim is likely and whether controls are operating. Hotels fail underwriting when controls are inconsistent, undocumented, or owned by nobody.

Top hotel failure points
  • MFA not enforced everywhere
  • Shared logins / generic admin accounts
  • Email compromise risk (phishing)
  • Vendor access is unmanaged
What they look for
  • Access control + least privilege
  • Training + reporting process
  • Patch/device hygiene baseline
  • Evidence and cadence
What “good” looks like
  • Named owners for controls
  • Proof packs ready on demand
  • Reviews with sign-off records
  • Documented remediation

The underwriting control map (what we implement)

We reduce staff-driven risk with enforced controls and produce the evidence that underwriting expects.

01
MFA enforcement (non-negotiable)
Underwriting confidence starts with MFA being required across core systems.
We enforce
  • MFA required for staff and admin accounts
  • Conditional controls for risky sign-ins
  • Exception handling with owner + date
  • Rollout plan that respects shifts
Proof pack items
  • MFA status report
  • Policy export
  • Exception register
  • Remediation timeline
02
Access control (least privilege)
Reduce impact by limiting what staff and vendors can do.
We implement
  • Role-based access (front desk ≠ admin)
  • Admin accounts limited to named owners
  • Access reviews on cadence
  • Shared login elimination or control
Proof pack items
  • Access roster by system
  • Role summary packet
  • Admin inventory
  • Review sign-offs
03
Email + phishing protection
Hotels get hit through inbox workflows: invoices, refunds, and booking changes.
We implement
  • Phishing safeguards + reporting flow
  • Decision rules for invoice/refund scams
  • Escalation path for high-risk requests
  • Training tied to real hotel scenarios
Proof pack items
  • Training + playbook packet
  • Reporting SOP
  • Completion logs
  • Incident drill record
04
Vendor governance
Vendors are a main underwriting concern: remote access + unknown ownership.
We implement
  • Vendor inventory + relationship owner
  • Remote access methods and time windows
  • Vendor account rosters
  • Offboarding record and review cadence
Proof pack items
  • Vendor roster
  • Remote access policy
  • Offboarding log

Proof packs + audit narrative
Your best leverage is a clean packet that answers underwriting quickly.
We produce
  • Underwriting-ready evidence bundle
  • Policy packet + acknowledgements
  • Exception register + remediation plan
  • Quarterly operating status summary
Proof pack items
  • Executive summary (1 page)
  • Control evidence exports
  • Review cadence record
  • Remediation log
