UpSure launches Instant Quote tech package with CyberCert Gold value add
Eligible startups and scaleups can now move from a short set of questions to packaged Cyber, Professional Indemnity and Management Liability cover in minutes.
UpSure has launched what we believe is Australia's first Instant Quote tech package for eligible startups and scaleups, giving companies a faster path from a short set of underwriting questions to packaged Cyber, Professional Indemnity and Management Liability cover.
Eligible companies can Learn more about the Instant Quote pathway before starting. Where a risk fits the available policy parameters, the aim is to move from enquiry to quote in minutes; where it needs more context, UpSure can route the enquiry into a broker-led review.
Built for the way technology companies buy cover
Many startups only start looking at insurance when a customer contract, investor diligence request or board requirement makes it urgent. The Instant Quote pathway is designed to make that first step faster for straightforward eligible risks, without removing the option of broker review where the business is more nuanced.
The pathway is intended for Australian technology, SaaS, AI and digital services businesses seeking eligible Cyber, Professional Indemnity or Management Liability cover.
CyberCert Gold value for eligible cyber clients
As part of the pathway, eligible cyber clients may access a $395 CyberCert Gold credit once cover is bound. CyberCert Gold helps businesses work through SMB1001 Level 3 controls across incident response, cybersecurity policies, email authentication, endpoint detection and response, backups, cyber insurance and responsible AI use.
The certification is director-attested, valid for 12 months and designed around 27 controls that are increasingly relevant to insurers, customers and boards.
Why this matters
"It has been a great collaboration across the Cova team and CFC to get this live as what we believe is the first Instant Quote tech package in Australia," said Andrew Birt, founder of UpSure and Cova. "UpSure has been building for six years, and this has always been the vision: making high-quality insurance faster, easier and more relevant for startups and scaleups. By pairing cover with CyberCert Gold certification, we're also helping clients strengthen their cyber hygiene at the same time as they arrange the protection they need."
Instant Quote does not replace broker advice for complex risks. It gives eligible companies a faster starting point, with UpSure still available where the business needs deeper review around contracts, limits, exclusions, claims history, international exposure or unusual activities.
