Cyber Insurance: SeedPod’s Elite Program Boosts MSP Risk Strategy

Posted on June 6, 2025June 6, 2025 By Martin Hinton No Comments on Cyber Insurance: SeedPod’s Elite Program Boosts MSP Risk Strategy

SeedPod Cyber has announced the launch of its Elite Risk Advisor™ (ERA) Program. The initiative is tailored for managed service providers (MSPs)—companies that remotely manage a client’s IT infrastructure and security—to support cybersecurity and cyber insurance needs.

What Is the Elite Risk Advisor™ Program?

The ERA Program is designed to elevate MSPs from pure service providers to trusted cyber risk advisors. This program offers actionable tools and training that enable MSPs to handle threat prevention, response, and recovery. It focuses on bridging the gap between traditional cybersecurity services and insurance-based risk transfer strategies.

Cyber Insurance with Smart Insurability Audits

One of the key features of the ERA Program is the Smart Insurability Audit. This tool allows MSPs to evaluate a client’s cyber readiness and insurance eligibility. These audits help identify vulnerabilities while opening new conversations about policy adequacy and system resilience.

Strengthening Client Security Posture and Revenue Streams

With tailored guidance, MSPs can help clients improve their cybersecurity maturity. These improvements may lead to lower insurance premiums and create recurring revenue opportunities. The ERA Program incentivizes these efforts by aligning them with measurable security outcomes.

Responsive Cyber Insurance, Not Just Paper Coverage

ERA emphasizes practical, responsive cyber insurance coverage. Rather than just issuing policies, SeedPod Cyber aims to ensure that coverage supports real-time incident response, remediation, and claims support. This approach aligns MSP operations with insurer performance goals.

Doug Kreitzberg: “Empowering Risk Advisors”

Doug Kreitzberg, Founder and CEO of SeedPod Cyber, stated, “The ERA Program empowers our partners to be trusted advisors in cybersecurity risk management.” He added that the program combines “actionable tools with expert insurance placement” to support client resilience.

Becoming the Client’s Full-Spectrum Risk Partner

The ERA Program enables MSPs to manage the full lifecycle of a cyber event, from planning and prevention to post-breach response and recovery. This unified service model allows MSPs to provide continuous support, which improves trust and long-term client retention.

Strategic Growth and Marketing Support Included

Participants in the ERA Program receive co-branded tools, educational assets, and access to marketing development funds. These features enable MSPs to expand their reach and enhance their value to existing and potential clients.

Why This Move Matters for the Cyber Insurance Market

With cyberattacks increasing in both frequency and cost, organizations are demanding more from their MSPs. The ERA Program responds to this shift by integrating cyber insurance with managed services, creating a more holistic, outcomes-based risk management approach.
