UK SaaS / ISV startups listing on AWS Marketplace (or preparing a seller / ISV pack) often need a clear answer to: what insurance evidence does AWS Marketplace / ISV diligence expect, and how is that different from a generic SOC 2 buyer questionnaire or MSA security pack? This page owns that AWS Marketplace seller / ISV insurance requirements job for UK startups. It is not a second SOC 2 / ISO buyer questionnaire pack, not a second MSA security questionnaire page, not a second cyber product hub, and not a second marketplace platform (U2U) page.

SOC 2 / ISO buyer pack: SOC2 / ISO Buyer Insurance Questionnaire Pack for UK Startups. MSA security evidence: MSA Security Questionnaire Insurance Evidence for UK Startups. Cyber product depth: Cyber Insurance UK. U2U marketplace platforms: Marketplace Platform Insurance for UK Startups. Pack map: Startup Insurance UK. Use those pages for SOC2 buyer packs, MSA questionnaires, cyber depth, U2U platforms, and the wider map. Use this page when the question is "we sell (or will sell) on AWS Marketplace as a UK ISV — what insurance buying / evidence job do we own?"

We place commercial covers for UK limited companies, partnerships, and sole traders, from a panel of insurers. Broker fee is a flat 10%, with no admin add-ons.

Why AWS Marketplace seller / ISV teams ask about insurance

Founders and GTM leads typically worry about:

• Seller / ISV onboarding checklists that name cyber, PI / tech E&O, or liability limits before listing

• Confusion with SOC 2 / ISO buyer questionnaire packs (enterprise procurement) vs Marketplace seller evidence

• Confusion with MSA security questionnaires for direct enterprise deals (related, not the same channel job)

• Confusion with marketplace platform / U2U insurance (you are the seller on AWS, not building a two-sided marketplace product)

• Whether existing cyber and PI certificates are enough, or whether limits / wording need a seller-specific refresh

• Sole-trader / early Ltd ISVs who still need commercial cover that can support a listing conversation

Those are related conversations — not the same product job. Do not assume the SOC2 pack, MSA page, or cyber hub alone answers every AWS Marketplace seller insurance ask. Placement and wording decide.

This page vs related hubs (do not confuse them)

If SOC2 / ISO Buyer Insurance Questionnaire Pack for UK Startups or the MSA page mention cloud marketplaces in passing, that is context. This page owns the AWS Marketplace seller / ISV insurance job for UK startups.

When AWS Marketplace seller cover typically becomes relevant

1. First listing application — seller / ISV onboarding asks for insurance evidence

2. Private offer / enterprise deal via Marketplace — buyer or AWS path asks for COIs and limits

3. Refresh before renewal — existing cyber/PI certificates are short of named limits or activities

4. Fundraising / BD — investors or partners ask how Marketplace channel risk is insured

5. Confusion with SOC2 or MSA packs — you need a seller-channel answer without cloning those URLs

What "belongs" is usually cyber + PI / tech E&O (sometimes PL/EL) mapped to the seller checklist — not a magic "AWS policy" brand name. Placement is case-by-case.

What "good" looks like in an AWS Marketplace seller insurance conversation

1. Clear product listing description (SaaS / AMI / professional services on Marketplace)

2. Current cyber, PI / tech E&O, PL, EL certificates where held

3. Any seller checklist / private-offer insurance rows you must meet

4. Honest map vs SOC2 buyer pack and MSA questionnaire jobs (link out; do not clone)

5. Disclosure of data residency, sub-processors, and customer data handling at a high level

6. Honest expectations: we cannot invent unbound Marketplace certificates; named customer quotes stay off

Founders, sole traders, and early Ltds

Many ISVs are Ltds; some early B2B sellers still operate as sole traders. Sole traders are in scope where the risk fits. If you are buying insurance evidence for an AWS Marketplace seller path, speak to us with your listing plan and current certificates — we will say what we can place, and what we cannot.

What to send a broker before you chase a quote

1. Companies House name and structure (or sole trader status)

2. One-line Marketplace product description (SaaS / AMI / services)

3. Current certificates / schedules (cyber, PI, PL, EL)

4. Any seller checklist or private-offer insurance requirements

5. Target listing / offer date

6. Headcount and revenue stage (seed context is fine; no fake price targets)
