Cowbell Strengthens Resilience with New Offerings

On July 8, 2025, Cowbell, a well-known provider of cyber insurance for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and middle-market businesses, announced exciting advancements in its service offerings. The company rolled out the Cowbell Compliance-as-a-Service (COMPaaS), tailored specifically for startups and organizations that handle sensitive customer data. This initiative aims to support companies in attaining SOC 2 compliance, essential for demonstrating operational security and trustworthiness in the eyes of consumers and partners alike.

COMPaaS is particularly significant as organizations increasingly look for reliable ways to validate their cyber hygiene. Cowbell’s new offering is designed to ease the compliance journey through expert guidance, ensuring that clients do not navigate the complicated terrain of regulatory requirements alone. It includes essential components such as gap analysis, risk assessments, penetration testing, and policy development, which are crucial to achieving compliance efficiently.

The introduction of COMPaaS is part of Cowbell's broader Resiliency Services ecosystem. The company has been consistently enhancing its offerings since launching Cowbell Resiliency Services (CRS) in February 2025. Rajeev Gupta, Cowbell’s Co-founder and Chief Product Officer, emphasized the company's commitment to adapting and expanding subscription-based security solutions, stating that compliance services represent a natural progression aligned with ongoing market needs.

In addition to COMPaaS, Cowbell has bolstered its Incident Response capabilities by appointing Joe Hoosech as Principal of Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR). His expertise in cybersecurity and ransomware negotiation is expected to significantly enhance Cowbell’s support for policyholders affected by business email compromise (BEC) and ransomware events. Matthew Chan Tsin, Senior Vice President and Head of Cybersecurity Services at CRS, expressed his enthusiasm about Hoosech joining the team, highlighting the value of his extensive experience in rapidly identifying and deploying effective incident response teams tailored to unique claims.

Part of what sets Cowbell apart in the cyber insurance market is its innovative approach to risk management. The company utilizes a proprietary GRC (governance, risk, and compliance) platform to provide ongoing support throughout the compliance process, ensuring that SMEs can focus more on their core operations while trusting that their compliance needs are being managed effectively.

Cowbell's partnership with Accorian, a New Jersey-based cybersecurity firm known for its expertise in HITRUST auditing and SOC assessments, adds further credibility to the COMPaaS offering. With over 175 security specialists on their team, Accorian enhances Cowbell’s capability to deliver security measures that meet the standards necessary for successful compliance across both U.S. and global markets.

To facilitate SMEs across various stages of growth, Cowbell's COMPaaS is presented as a comprehensive service bundle. Companies can utilize it to enhance their organizational readiness, ultimately aiding them in reinforcing their security framework and maintaining rigorous operational standards. In today’s landscape, maintaining an effective cybersecurity posture is not just advantageous; it is essential for continuing operations and maintaining consumer trust.

Cowbell continues to pave the way in the field of Adaptive Cyber Insurance, focusing on creating solutions that meet the evolving landscape of digital risk. The company’s innovative services aim to redefine how businesses view and approach their insurance needs, with a vision to streamline the insurance purchasing experience significantly.
