About Patrick Hayes
I work with companies to make sure they are secure and can get cyber insurance, keep it, and rely on it if there’s ever a claim. That’s where things tend to break down.Many organizations invest in cybersecurity but still end up struggling when they need cyber insurance. Often, they find out too late that gaps in controls, documentation, or operations leave them unable to get cyber insurance. And if they can be insured, the premiums are expensive, coverages are limited, and deductibles are high. But when customers and partners require cyber insurance coverage, there\'s no alternative.That’s the problem I focus on.I am a CISO and technology founder. My background is in security operations, architecture, and executive advisory. My work has always been centered toward outcomes, recovery, and financial impact. Can the business defend against an attack and keep running? Can we minimize the financial impact? Will cyber insurance actually be there when we need to file a claim?These are all challenges I have lived through.I’m the author of Integrated Assurance, Relevant Impact, and Can We Insure This: A CFO Guide to Cybersecurity. I work with executive teams, boards, and brokers to turn scattered efforts into something measurable, defensible, and aligned to real-world risk.If you’re heading into an insurance renewal, concerned about your current cybersecurity spending, or just not sure where you stand, that’s usually the right time to have a conversation.
