SynergyIQ is a managed IT, cybersecurity, and workflow-automation provider based in Richmond, Texas, serving small businesses and healthcare practices across Greater Houston (Sugar Land, Katy, Pearland, Missouri City, Fort Bend County).

Pricing is per-user or per-endpoint, billed monthly, with no long-term contract beyond the first 90 days.
Carriers are losing money on cyber, so they've quietly tightened underwriting and denial criteria. "You didn't have MFA on that admin account" = denied. "Your backup wasn't immutable" = denied. "Suspected nation-state actor" = denied.
Common denials: missing MFA on one user account, unpatched system in scope, unencrypted laptop, third-party vendor as initial vector, social engineering not phishing-specific. Read your policy — it's grim.
Average cyber-insurance claim cycle in 2024: 4-6 months from incident to first dollar paid. Meanwhile your business is bleeding cash for ransom payment, forensics, downtime, and notification.
Cyber insurance premiums rose 28% in 2024 (Marsh McLennan). Many SMBs are now uninsured or radically underinsured — they self-insure by accident.
Cork pays out within 30 days when a covered incident occurs on a SynergyIQ-managed environment. No deductible. No subrogation. No 'you didn't have MFA' denial.
