Do you rely on third parties in your organization? Are you a third party to others? And have you signed agreements with these parties?
For many, the answer to all three questions is “yes.”
Do you know what obligations/risks you’ve contractually assumed in those agreements? Or what risks you expect others to take on? Do they know it? Does your insurance coverage “dovetail” with your contractual obligations?
A large part of contracts today is assuming or transferring risk to others. Once you understand the risk-shifting “game” in third party contracts, you can unlock the power to ask the right questions and make better decisions. That’s the focus of this final part of the Leading Security Change on Cyber Insurance series.
