For cyber insurance agents, brokers, and carriers
Cyber Insurance Partner Program
High Sierra Cyber is a local, in-person provider of the security awareness training, phishing simulation, and documented reporting that cyber insurers ask Northern Nevada businesses to have. Refer us as a recommended provider.
Give your insureds a local way to meet their training requirement
Cyber insurance applications and renewals increasingly ask one simple question: are employees trained and regularly tested against phishing? Many Northern Nevada small businesses check “yes” without any real program behind it, and then struggle at claim time or renewal.
High Sierra Cyber closes that gap. We are a locally owned Reno-Tahoe firm that delivers in-person security awareness training, safe phishing simulations, and the dated reporting insurers want to see. Recommend us, and your insureds get a straightforward way to satisfy the control and document it.
Why this matters to your book
- Human error drives most claims. The large majority of cyber claims start with a person clicking a phishing link, approving a fraudulent wire, or handing over a credential. Training and testing attack that risk directly.
- Documented controls smooth renewals. When an insured can show dated training records and phishing-test results, applications are faster and answers hold up.
- Fewer surprises at claim time. A real, documented program reduces the odds that an attestation on the application turns into a coverage dispute later.
- A local name to hand clients. Instead of pointing an insured at a generic video platform, you can refer a local expert who shows up in person across the Reno-Tahoe region.
What we provide your insureds
- Security awareness training, in person or virtual, tailored to Northern Nevada threats. See training.
- Phishing simulation on a baseline-then-recurring cadence. See phishing simulation.
- Reporting and evidence: click rates, trends over time, and a plain-English summary for the compliance or insurance file. See reporting.
- Cyber insurance readiness: a gap review against the controls applications ask about, so the whole submission is stronger. See insurance readiness.
How a referral works
- We get acquainted. A short call to confirm we’re a fit and agree on how you’d like to refer us (a named recommended provider, a resource on your renewal checklist, or a warm introduction per client).
- You refer the insured. You hand them this page or introduce us by email. There is no cost to you and no obligation on the insured.
- We deliver and document. We train, test, and report. If the insured agrees, we can provide a concise summary they can share with you or attach to their application.
- You get a reliable local partner. One point of contact who knows Northern Nevada, replies personally, and treats your clients the way you would.
Why a local partner
We are your neighbors in the Reno-Tahoe region. We understand the vendors, agencies, and scams that actually target businesses here, and we show up in person rather than emailing a login link. For your insureds, that means a program people actually complete, not a box that gets checked and forgotten.
Let’s talk
Tell us about your agency and the kinds of clients you’d want covered. We’ll set up a short call and can sign a mutual NDA before sharing specifics.
High Sierra Cyber is not an insurance broker, agent, or carrier. We do not sell insurance, advise on coverage, or pay commissions or fees for policy referrals. We are a security training and testing vendor you can recommend so your insureds can meet and document the human-side controls on their application.
