Prepare a description of systems, data, outsourced providers and response arrangements before seeking terms. Give accurate answers to the insurer’s security questions.

Ask separately about incident response, restoration, interruption and third-party liabilities. Their limits and conditions may differ; do not infer inclusion from a product name.

Cyber insurance is one part of incident planning. Keep the approved reporting channel and insurer contact accessible outside the systems that could be affected.
