One application for contractors and for owners and managers: a contractor answers about its work and its clients’ systems, an owner or manager about its tenants and buildings. Both give rough counts of the personal records they keep, never the records themselves, and describe their security and payment controls. Answer what you can and send it from the review sheet. Our brokerage takes it to market and comes back with quotes, or with questions.
Plan on 15 to 30 minutes for a contractor or an owner with no incidents, with your IT provider’s answers to hand. Your answers are kept in this browser tab only, with no account. Closing the tab clears them, so gather your documents first (the checklist lists them).
* Insurers need this to quote. You can send with blanks; we’ll ask for the rest.
What to have on hand: rough record counts and your IT provider’s answers (6 things)
The first question asks whether you are a contractor or an owner or manager, and part of the second sheet follows that answer. Answer counts assume a contractor that pays and is paid by wire or ACH, with no incidents.
Your business basicsLegal name, FEIN, the year you started, revenue and headcount.
Rough counts of your recordsHow many records you keep with Social Security numbers, bank details or health information, for employees, tenants, applicants and subs. Counts only.
Your IT setupWhether email and remote logins need multi-factor authentication, how you back up, and what protects your computers. Your IT provider can answer most of it.
How you pay and get paidWho approves wire and ACH payments, and how you check a request to change bank details.
Your current policy, if you have oneThe declarations page: limit, retention, premium and expiry date.
