Key Differences in Cyber Insurance

Who Buys This For You

Newfront runs a named Cyber Risk practice that takes client consultations directly and negotiates bespoke policy language, while RiskCube's disclosures describe itself as an independent brokerage that is explicitly not a carrier and compares quotes from third-party insurers on the client's behalf. 5 9

Who Each One Is Built For

RiskCube's page names a narrow target list — AI and data companies, cloud and DevOps platforms, payment processors, defense startups handling controlled unclassified information, and companies bound by SOC 2 or handling PII/PHI — while Newfront's cyber page speaks generally about clients facing "evolving cyber risk and increased underwriting standards" without naming an industry or company profile.

RiskCube targets cyber coverage at AI and data companies, cloud/DevOps platforms, payment processors, defense startups handling controlled unclassified information, and SOC 2-bound or PII/PHI-handling companies. 9Company-reported. Cyber product page "Who needs cyber insurance" section.

Speed to Quote and Claims Support

RiskCube describes a roughly 10-minute digital intake followed by its AI agents and licensed brokers comparing carrier options, typically producing a quote and vendor-ready certificate of insurance within about 24 hours; its cyber page does not describe claims handling for this line. Newfront's page does not describe a comparable quoting timeline, but does describe hands-on claims consultation with pre- and post-loss advocacy. 9 9 5

What to Confirm in Cyber Insurance Quotes

  • Ask RiskCube which specific carriers it compared for your quote, since its disclosures name no insurer. 8
  • Ask Newfront the same; its cyber page also does not name an insurer. 5
  • If you run AI or agentic products, ask RiskCube whether affirmative AI coverage or a wrap policy applies to your specific model and training-data risks. 9
  • Ask RiskCube who handles a claim after binding, since its reviewed page does not describe a claims process. 9
