What questions should I be asking my insurance broker when considering Cyber Insurance?

1. 
Does the policy cover incidents caused by third-party vendors? 
What happens if a breach occurs due to a vendor or contractor?

2. Is there coverage for reputational damage?
Will the policy help mitigate the impact on your company’s reputation?

3. What happens if the insurer denies a claim?
What recourse do you have if a claim is denied? 

4. Are there any sub-limits within the policy?
Are there different limits for different types of coverage (e.g., ransomware, business interruption)?
