PLEASANTON, Calif., July 8, 2025 – Cowbell, a leading provider of cyber insurance for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and middle-market businesses, today announced the launch of Cowbell COMPaaSSM (Compliance-as-a-Service), a new offering tailored for startups, growth-stage companies, and service providers handling sensitive customer data. Designed to support organizations pursuing SOC 2 compliance in both U.S. and global markets, COMPaaS delivers expert-guided readiness and high-touch support throughout the compliance journey.
As part of this expansion to its Resiliency Services, Cowbell has also strengthened its Incident Response capabilities with the appointment of Joe Hoosech as Principal of Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR), enhancing support for policyholders impacted by business email compromise (BEC) and ransomware events.
COMPaaS, offered through Cowbell Resiliency Services (CRS) and powered by Accorian, accelerates SOC 2 compliance by providing a comprehensive service bundle that includes gap analysis, risk assessment, penetration testing, policy and procedure development, audit preparation, practitioner-led support, and access to a proprietary, purpose-built GRC platform.
“When we introduced Cowbell Resilience Services (CRS) in February 2025, our vision was to continually expand our subscription-based security solutions to meet the evolving needs of our policyholders,” said Rajeev Gupta, Co-founder and CPO of Cowbell. “Compliance-as-a-Service is the natural next step. As SOC 2 compliance becomes increasingly critical for startups and global enterprises alike, our partnership with Accorian enables us to deliver a streamlined, high-touch compliance journey. Together, we’re helping organizations strengthen their cyber hygiene and readiness, validating security postures with confidence across the U.S.”
Mr. Hoosech joins Cowbell as the company advances its efforts to streamline DFIR services, panel support, enhance claims handling efficiency, and deliver improved outcomes for both policyholders and agency partners.
“Joe brings a wealth of cybersecurity and ransomware negotiation experience to Cowbell, which will significantly elevate the support we offer to policyholders navigating BEC and ransomware incidents,” said Matthieu Chan Tsin, SVP & Head of Cybersecurity Services, CRS at Cowbell. “His deep expertise enhances our ability to quickly identify and deploy the most appropriate incident response teams, tailored to the unique nature of each claim.”
