Your website might look fine on the surface — but if it hasn’t been updated in years, it could quietly be creating cybersecurity risks for your agency.
Today’s cyber threats don’t just target email systems or internal networks. Increasingly, insurance carriers and underwriters are looking at your entire digital footprint, including your public-facing website.
Why Your Website Matters for Cybersecurity
Websites built on older platforms or left unmaintained are often vulnerable to:
Unpatched security flaws in plugins, themes, or CMS software
Missing SSL certificates or improper HTTPS configuration
Lack of malware protection or firewall rules
Insecure contact forms that can expose client data
Slow performance or broken functionality that erodes user trust
These issues aren’t just technical — they can have real-world consequences for your agency’s reputation and compliance.
Cyber Insurance Carriers Are Paying Attention
Many cyber insurance providers now run external scans and require basic security standards before renewing or binding coverage. If your website is outdated, unsecured, or poorly maintained, it could:
Trigger additional security reviews
Delay your policy renewal
Increase your premium
In some cases, disqualify you from certain coverage altogether
A Modern Website Should Be More Than Just “Pretty”
Yes, it should reflect your brand. But it also needs to be:
Secure (encrypted, up to date, and monitored)
Fast (Google cares, and so do your visitors)
Optimized for visibility (especially local SEO)
Built on a platform you actually control — not locked behind a vendor
