Public entity risk pools are facing growing pressure to improve cyber resilience across their member organisations, many of which vary significantly in cybersecurity maturity and use of technology. This diversity makes it increasingly challenging to maintain a strong defence against ever-evolving digital threats. As cyber incidents grow in frequency and impact, risk pools must find better ways to manage collective exposure and strengthen preparedness across their ecosystems.
KYND, a cyber risk prevention specialist, has announced a major step forward in its long-standing work with public entity pools across the U.S.
The company has introduced the KYND Portal, a purpose-built platform designed to simplify how pools manage, monitor, and support member cyber resilience.
The platform offers a single access point for cyber risk visibility and member engagement, consolidating insights that previously may have been fragmented across tools, reports, and internal processes.
According to KYND, the new portal is built specifically for pools and aims to deliver enhanced clarity and actionable intelligence.
Administrators can access real-time reporting, portfolio-wide risk visibility, and intuitive dashboards designed to support strategic decision-making. This means pools can gain faster insight into developing threats, understand shared vulnerabilities across their membership, and better identify where resources should be prioritised.
Among the platform’s key benefits, KYND highlights streamlined reporting features that allow pool administrators to monitor member exposure and generate reports within moments.
The platform also promises enhanced visibility across the risk portfolio, enabling users to view changes in risk posture over time. KYND said it also improves member engagement by making cyber risk information more accessible and easier to communicate. It helps identify shared technology dependencies and emerging trends, giving pools the evidence required to inform more resilient long-term strategies.
The launch also supports a broader shift in how pool executives approach portfolio cyber risk. With the need for executive-ready reporting becoming more urgent, KYND said the platform helps leaders understand how exposure is evolving and where intervention is required. Clearer insights support more productive conversations with members regarding vulnerabilities, remediation priorities, and strategic improvements.
Cyber resilience is increasingly viewed as essential beyond insurance placement alone. KYND argues that better visibility and reporting can help limit exposure by identifying vulnerabilities earlier, provide long-term data retention independent of insurers or brokers, and demonstrate ongoing improvement to underwriters and reinsurers.
Pool leaders already working with KYND have echoed the importance of these improvements.
The South Carolina School Boards Insurance Trust director of insurance services Lyde Graham said, “KYND has enabled a pivot point in the way we approach cyber hygiene. In today’s connected world, where threats evolve quickly and insurance expectations continue to rise, it’s essential to show proactive and manageable risk management strategies. KYND gives us clarity to focus resources where they matter most, and it helps our members quickly discern opportunities to strengthen their postures. It also provides a portable solution, which is critical when competition or program changes lead to a carrier shift. For us, KYND reinforces our approach to delivering value through risk management, supporting our members, demonstrating diligence, and driving more solutions-focused conversations with members, insurers, and public sector partners.”
The new KYND Portal is now available for all existing pool clients, and the company is encouraging public entity pools to explore the platform to see how it can enhance their risk management programmes.
