Protection from the Inside Out.

In our increasingly connected world, cybersecurity and risk management are top of mind. Large enterprises have the resources and know-how to address concerns before attacks strike. Too often, small businesses are left behind, unprepared to take on the expensive hit. Cyber insurance is broken - Managed Service Providers (MSPs) who support these businesses are often left out of the mix.

Enter Cork.

Cork is on a mission to transform this industry by empowering MSPs to provide simple, accessible financial protection against cyber risks. Launched by DVx Ventures, we are a cyber warranty company for managed service providers (MSPs) serving small businesses (SMBs) and the software solutions they manage. Our purpose-built platform is designed to offer MSPs and their clients peace of mind with near-instant coverage and settlements in the aftermath of security incidents.

Cork is the first cyber warranty provider offering Protection from the Inside Out with active risk monitoring, detection and remediation. We use real-time telemetry to underwrite the cyber risk of the protected environment. This approach enables MSPs to activate warranty instantly with dynamic premium, speed up claim payouts, and build client trust with data-driven security performance insights.

Every day, we are inspired by MSPs and the businesses they serve who make up the backbone of our economy. Enabling MSPs to grow while keeping their clients secure drives us to do our best work.

Based in Boston, we are backed by DVx Ventures, Outsiders Fund and Vestigo Ventures.
