Corporate Risk Solutions, LLC (CRS), an independent risk management and insurance advisor to investment firms, their portfolio companies, and global corporates, today announced a partnership with Spektrum Labs, builder of the first cyber resilience proof engine, backed by 25 patents. Through the partnership, CRS clients can now prove the cyber resilience of every entity and enterprise for which they are accountable.

More than 30 of the largest cyber insurance carriers accept a Spektrum Passport in place of the cumbersome cyber risk questions on their applications, with associated preferential pricing and terms. CRS views the partnership as a unique opportunity for asset management firms as well as commercial and financial companies to prove, rather than assert, the strength of their cyber safeguards to the insurance market.

What Cyber Resilience Means

Cyber resilience means three things: safeguards actually work and stay configured properly; backups are tested and ready to recover if those safeguards fail; and the promises made in an insurance application are met with mathematically irrefutable evidence, so any dispute is about the policy, never about the facts.

How Spektrum Fusion Proves It

Spektrum Labs’ platform, Spektrum Fusion, proves all three. It connects to a company’s security tools and backup tools through read-only APIs and validates every day against criteria grounded in cyber claims data. Each result is sealed as a Cyber Resilience Token in an append-only, Merkle-anchored ledger and can be shared with a click as a Spektrum Passport.

What This Means for Investment Firms

For investment firms, the security challenge has been accountability without operational control: a sponsor answers for resilience across a portfolio of companies it does not run, each on its own technology stack, and has relied largely on what each company reports about its own security controls, posture, and evolution. Whether for an alternative asset manager or a corporate entity, Spektrum operates under a single contract across the full portfolio or engaged enterprise, with every holding validated daily against the same client-defined baseline, so the result is comparable and consistently verified rather than self-reported.

Carrier Acceptance & Next Steps

Carriers in the Spektrum network accept the Passport in lieu of the cyber questionnaire and applications and provide preferential pricing and terms, in writing. CRS will introduce the program to its clients of all types and continue to serve as their independent advisor, and each client’s placing broker can present the Spektrum Passport to the markets at their respective renewal.

Leadership Perspectives

“Our asset manager and individual corporate clients have struggled for years to best evolve and evidence the most robust security posture and protections across their respective investment portfolios and enterprises. Unfortunately, to date, that evidence has been static and based largely upon each company’s own security positioning & narrative. Spektrum gives us evidence that stands on its own: validated daily, sealed, and accepted by carriers. Every renewal evaluation and claim process can now begin with certified proof instead of a questionnaire.”

Kimberly Patlis Walsh, CEO & President, Corporate Risk Solutions

“Sponsors (and Corporate Security Executives) have been asked to oversee resilience on the strength of questionnaires. With CRS, that risk management input becomes sealed evidence: comparable across a portfolio / enterprise and accepted by the insurers who price the risks. We are enabling security proof to pay you back in upfront protection and at the time of a claim/breach.”

Max Perkins, Chief Insurance Officer, Spektrum Labs
