Most cyber security insurance now requires the company have MFA or they won’t underwrite a policy. In my opinion, cyber security insurance is a big waste of money. I can’t discuss specifics, but ours went from a few hundred thousand to nearly $1M in one year, the requirements to meet the underwriting criteria were far more involved and difficult than in the past. That, and as most insurers are wont to do so, if you did make a claim they would go through everything with a fine toothed comb and find a way to deny it.
My suggestion was to forget it and invest the funds in more/better security controls. Cool! Good luck!
