Core vs Warranted
Same security. One difference: the warranty.
Core and Warranted run the identical security stack. The only difference is whether a Cork Cyber financial warranty sits behind it, and the agreement term that goes with it.
At a Glance
Two plans. One security stack.
| Core | Warranted | |
|---|---|---|
| Security stack | Full stack | Identical full stack |
| Cork Cyber financial warranty | None | Protect500, $500,000 |
| Price | $450 monthly minimum $130 full user · $85 mobile user | $750 monthly minimum $160 full user · $115 mobile user |
| Agreement | Month-to-month | 12 months |
| Best for | Businesses that already carry a cyber policy they trust | Businesses with no policy, low limits, or that can’t absorb a bad week |
The monthly minimum is a dollar amount, not a user count: any mix of full and mobile users can reach it. Add-ons are billed in addition.
Who Each Plan Is For
Which one sounds like your business?
Core fits you if…
- You already carry a cyber policy and have checked its limits.
- Its ransomware, wire fraud and deductible figures look adequate to you.
- You want the full stack that keeps you insurable, without paying for a warranty you don’t need.
- You could absorb a bad week from your own reserves.
- You prefer month-to-month.
Warranted fits you if…
- You have no cyber policy, or one with low sublimits.
- You couldn’t absorb a ransomware event or a week of downtime.
- You want ransom, data recovery, business interruption and wire fraud funded.
- You want one package, not a separate policy to shop for.
- You’re comfortable with a 12-month agreement.
Check Your Policy
Check your policy for three things.
Ransomware sublimit
The most your policy pays if ransomware hits.
Social engineering / wire fraud sublimit
The most it pays if someone is tricked into sending money.
Deductible
What you pay before the policy pays anything.
If any is low, or you don’t have a policy at all, Warranted fills that gap.

Core has no warranty. Warranted adds Protect500.
