CyberCert Gold Level 3

Clarity Insurance Brokers Achieves Prestigious CyberCert Gold Level 3 Certification

At Clarity Insurance Brokers, protecting our clients' sensitive data and digital assets is at the core of everything we do. We are proud to announce that we have officially achieved the Gold Level 3 Certification under the globally recognized SMB1001:2026 Standard, issued by CyberCert.

What is CyberCert and the SMB1001 Standard?

CyberCert is a leading international cybersecurity certification platform that certifies small and medium-sized businesses against the world's only dynamic cybersecurity framework—SMB1001 (developed by Dynamic Standards International). Unlike rigid, "one-size-fits-all" frameworks, SMB1001 provides a tiered pathway (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum) to help businesses progressively build robust, enterprise-grade digital resilience.

Achieving the Gold Level 3 tier means Clarity has moved well beyond baseline security. We have implemented a comprehensive, risk-based maturity model designed for high-assurance, compliance-driven industries.

What This Means for Our Clients & Partners

When you partner with Clarity, you can have complete peace of mind knowing that our data infrastructure aligns with top-tier international security controls. This certification serves as verified evidence that we actively defend against evolving cyber threats, safeguard private information, and maintain operational resilience.

This achievement is further strengthened through our partnership with Evolution Technology (Evotech)—whose security-first toolkit and managed services align seamlessly with the CyberCert framework, ensuring our protection strategy is not only compliant, but continuously evolving alongside emerging threats.

Streamlining Our Cyber Insurance & Underwriting Compliance

Because we are in the insurance industry, we understand firsthand how rigorous cyber underwriting has become. Achieving the Gold Level 3 certification gives us—and our underwriters—a distinct advantage:
  • Aligned Controls for Smoother Underwriting: The comprehensive security requirements of CyberCert Gold closely align with the core technical controls and evidence typically demanded by top-tier cyber insurers.
  • Simplified Renewals & Verification: Rather than navigating exhaustive, repetitive technical questionnaires during our annual cyber insurance renewals, our certified posture is instantly verifiable via a secure, live registry.
  • Continuous Compliance Maintenance: By embedding the SMB1001:2026 framework directly into our day-to-day operations, we easily maintain the proactive risk management habits that underwriters look for year-round.
Ultimately, this certification proves that we don't just advise our clients on risk—we actively walk the talk by managing our own infrastructure to the highest insurable standards.

The Gold Standard Security Measures We Have Implemented:

To secure our Gold Level 3 status, our infrastructure has successfully fulfilled rigorous requirements across several critical categories:
  • Advanced Threat Protection: We deploy active network firewalls, anti-virus software, automated system patching, and enterprise-grade Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) to catch and neutralize cyber threats in real time.
  • Strict Access Management: We enforce strong password hygiene, utilize unified password managers, mandate Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) across all employee emails, business applications, and social media, and restrict administrative privileges so data is only accessible on a strict need-to-know basis.
  • Data Privacy & Governance: All of our devices utilize secure TLS encryption for public-facing assets. We maintain a strict digital asset register, alongside protocols for the secure physical and digital destruction of obsolete devices and sensitive documents.
  • Fraud & Incident Response: We have implemented a formal, tested Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan, an Invoice Fraud management policy, and continuous employee cybersecurity awareness training to prevent social engineering attacks.
  • Artificial Intelligence Safety: We operate under a proactive and responsible corporate policy governing the secure use of AI technology.
  • Business Continuity: Our vital assets are fully backed up under a comprehensive recovery strategy, and we maintain robust cyber insurance policies to ensure zero disruption to our operations.
Our certification (Certificate ID: 01263000009429049035988Z) remains fully validated, independently verifiable via secure QR registry, and active through June 2027.

At Clarity, we don't just broker risk solutions for our clients—we actively manage and mitigate our own. We remain steadfastly committed to leading our industry in cybersecurity excellence.
