Intersys, a UK-based cybersecurity and IT services provider, has announced the official launch of its operations in India.
The company, which helps businesses improve their cyber resilience and mitigate threats, aims to support local insurers and brokers in growing their cyber insurance portfolios, according to InsurTech Insights.
The launch comes in response to a pressing challenge in the Indian insurance sector: accurately assessing and pricing cyber risk, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that often lack internal IT security capabilities. Intersys believes that tackling this gap will unlock growth opportunities and enable more robust underwriting practices.
Intersys specialises in cyber security solutions, offering services to both private and public sector organisations. The company provides scalable security tools, assessments, and continuous monitoring to reduce cyber threats, mitigate risk, and support better business continuity.
The new India offering includes two core components: Cyber Risk Assessments and Continuous Cyber Monitoring. The assessments operate under a “Cyber Security as a Service” model, allowing insurers and brokers to evaluate a client’s cyber maturity and vulnerabilities before issuing a policy.
Meanwhile, the monitoring service ensures that clients maintain their security posture throughout the coverage period, lowering the chance of incidents and simplifying policy renewals.
Intersys’ new model fosters a continuous feedback loop between cyber hygiene and insurance pricing.
By establishing a clear baseline and applying real-time risk data, the service makes it easier for underwriters to offer more accurate and profitable policies. This approach is particularly valuable in India, where cyber losses are rising but risk evaluation remains underdeveloped.
Heading the new Mumbai office is Tanmay Gore, director of Intersys India. The team will offer resalable cyber services, including baseline assessments and live monitoring, tailored for corporate SMEs. These tools enable underwriters to make more confident, data-backed decisions while enhancing the insurability of their clients.
Matthew Geyman, managing director of Intersys, said, “Intersys clients in the UK are ten times less likely to suffer a cyber attack compared to the national average. Using cyber risk mitigation best practices developed in the UK, we’re launching Intersys India to give local brokers and underwriters the tools they need to support India’s SME corporate policyholders with practical cyber security services that directly improve their insurability. When clients are better protected, they’re a better risk – and that unlocks profitable growth for everyone.”
Dr. Prerna Tambay of Intersys India added, “There is a clear gap in the market to support India’s brokers and insurers in offering proactive cyber risk assessment and management services. Our model is proven in mature markets like the UK, where Intersys has a clear track record of embedding cyber security best practices within the insurance journey. For Indian insurance brokers and carriers, the offering unlocks new business potential among underserved mid-market corporates and supports efforts to increase cyber insurance penetration.”
With this expansion, Intersys is bridging the gap between cyber security and cyber insurance in India, giving insurers and brokers scalable tools to manage cyber risk more effectively in a complex digital landscape.
