Coalition cyber policy application, held

The questions of the Questions in a Coalition Cyber Policy Application, held and mapped to the ISO 27001:2022 controls, the SOC 2 criteria and the NIST CSF 2.0 outcomes each one reaches. The source document (read 2026-10-11). The date shown is the date this copy was read, not a version the form itself states. This page quotes only the question each mapped row needs and states its source; it does not publish the carrier's form. A complete form would be held only under a stated policy for copyrighted forms. Coalition is a source document, never a customer.

This document's questions reach 23 of 290 held controls. Whether an applicant is offered cover is the carrier’s underwriting decision. 1 question here is flagged knockout (a "no" is a common decline point) and 0 flagged warranty (an answer the carrier relies on, that can affect cover if wrong).

This form heads the block "Attestation Questions" and confirms the answers by the Named Insured's e-signature, so each answer here is a statement the carrier relies on.

Application question Within the last 3 years has Named Insured suffered any cyber incidents resulting in a claim in excess of $25,000?
Coalition held application question

This is a loss history question, not a control requirement. It reaches no held control.

Answer options on this form: No / Yes.

No held control answers this line.

Application question Is Named Insured aware of any circumstances that could give rise to a cyber claim?
Coalition held application question

Prior-knowledge question. This asks whether the applicant knows of any circumstance that could give rise to a claim. A wrong answer here is the classic route to a prior-knowledge exclusion or rescission, so it is the highest-consequence line on the form, not a line to leave unread. It reaches no control by itself: it is about what the applicant knows, not a control to hold.

Answer options on this form: No / Yes.

No held control answers this line.

Application question Does Named Insured enable disk encryption on laptops, desktops, and other portable media devices?
Coalition held application question

Controls not asked in this held document (267)

None of this held document's questions reach 267 of the 290 held controls (for example A.5.1, A.5.2, A.5.4, A.5.5, A.5.6, A.5.7, A.5.8, A.5.9). That is a fact about this held document, not about what the carrier underwrites on: a carrier's fuller forms and supplements ask controls this summary does not, multi-factor authentication, offline backups and patching among them. A control here is not asserted as required, and not asserted as not required.
