Keep client systems and your own business in view.

Technology firms support software, networks, data, devices, and client operations. Review commercial insurance questions around the services you deliver, the systems you access, and the commitments in your contracts.

Cyber Liability, Professional Liability, General Liability, Commercial Property, and Commercial Umbrella may be topics to discuss. Managed services, software products, hosting, hardware, and consulting each involve different work and client expectations.

Describe which systems your team can access, how incidents are handled, and who is responsible for backups, updates, and client notifications. Do not send passwords, security reports, or confidential system details through a public inquiry.
