Cryptographic Attestation Framework

Sovereign identity verification and security posture attestation for mission-critical environments.

🐢

Introduction

The financial and operational impact of cyber incidents continues to rise worldwide. Ransomware, data breaches, supply-chain compromise, and targeted attacks can disrupt operations, damage reputation, and create long-term liabilities.

Cyber insurance helps organizations absorb financial damage — but insurers increasingly demand demonstrable security maturity before offering adequate coverage.

CypSec bridges this gap by preparing organizations for insurance eligibility, reducing risk exposure, and supporting incident documentation and claims.

Most small and mid-sized businesses underestimate both the probability and the impact of a cyber event. Our readiness programme quantifies your current exposure, maps it to insurance requirements, and delivers a prioritised improvement plan that underwriters recognise.

By the end of the engagement you will have a concise evidence pack (policies, architecture diagrams, test reports, attestation letters) that can be handed to any carrier or broker, cutting weeks off the application cycle and often reducing quoted premiums by 15–40 %.

Individual Sovereignty

Cryptographic identity anchoring for individuals operating within sensitive domains: intelligence services, critical infrastructure, journalism, and activism. Implements selective disclosure protocols enabling granular control over attribute revelation while maintaining non-repudiable identity binding.

Zero-Knowledge Proofs

Verify identity attributes without exposing underlying personal data

Post-Quantum Cryptography

Quantum-resistant signature schemes for long-term identity validity

Jurisdictional Isolation

Complete sovereignty from foreign identity authorities

Access Individual Attestation

Enterprise Validation

Comprehensive security posture attestation for organizations operating critical infrastructure, defense supply chains, and sovereign enterprises. Implements continuous compliance monitoring with automated verification of security controls, incident response capabilities, and supply chain integrity.

Continuous Monitoring

Real-time security posture validation with automated compliance checking

Supply Chain Verification

Cryptographic validation of vendor relationships and component integrity

Incident Response Validation

Verified breach response capabilities and forensic readiness assessment

Operational Deployment Models

The attestation framework deploys across three distinct operational paradigms, each optimized for specific threat models and deployment constraints. Whether operating within classified government networks, critical infrastructure environments, or commercial cloud infrastructure, the framework maintains cryptographic integrity and operational sovereignty without compromise.

1

Pre-Insurance Assessment

We evaluate your:

  • attack surface
  • governance and documentation
  • security architecture
  • compliance obligations
  • existing protection tools

Result: This produces a risk profile insurers can work with.

You receive a Cyber-Insurer Ready Report (30-40 pages) containing:

  • Risk heat-map aligned to NIST CSF & ISO 27001
  • Gap analysis vs. major carrier questionnaires (AXA, Allianz, Munich Re, Beazley)
  • Prioritised remediation roadmap with owner & deadline columns
  • Pre-filled application forms (Word & JSON) ready for broker submission

Hardening & Preparedness

We implement required controls:

  • access management
  • logging and monitoring
  • incident response procedures
  • secure communication
  • vulnerability management
  • data-protection measures

Impact: These steps significantly improve insurability and reduce premiums.

Typical 30-day sprint delivers:

  • Conditional access rules for admin interfaces (MFA enforced)
  • Centralised log forwarder to immutable store (7-year retention)
  • Incident response playbook mapped to NIST 800-61r2
  • Quarterly phishing simulation & training records
  • Automated patch compliance dashboard (≥ 95 % within SLA)

Each control is documented with screenshots and attestation letter templates so underwriters can tick the box without extra questionnaires.

Compliance & Governance

Insurers require evidence of:

  • policies
  • reports
  • audits
  • user awareness
  • incident processes

Solution: CypSec's governance framework and policy-as-code ensure you meet those requirements.

We supply a Governance Evidence Pack including:

  • Information Security Policy (ISO 27001 aligned, version controlled in Git)
  • Management review minutes with risk-register extracts
  • Internal audit schedule and last two audit reports
  • Staff training completion certificates (≥ 90 % pass rate)
  • Statement of Applicability (SoA) signed by CISO

All documents are digitally signed and time-stamped so underwriters can verify authenticity.

Incident Response Support

If a breach occurs, CypSec provides:

  • forensic analysis
  • containment
  • documentation
  • impact assessment
  • recovery guidance

Essential: This is essential for facilitating insurance claims and reducing long-term losses.

Within 24 h of an incident we provide:

  • Forensic timeline with log integrity hashes (court-admissible)
  • Breach notification decision tree and template letters (GDPR / BDSG)
  • Business-impact statement for loss-adjuster / accountant
  • Photos and chain-of-custody sheets for any seized hardware

Having these documents ready typically shortens the claim approval cycle by 30–45 days and reduces disputes over coverage limits.

Integration & Interoperability

The attestation framework integrates with existing security infrastructure through standards-based protocols while maintaining operational independence. Native support for OpenID Connect Federation, SAML 2.0, and WS-Federation enables seamless integration with enterprise identity providers without compromising cryptographic sovereignty.
