Security review trigger
Cyber insurance and incident response questionnaire template
When a buyer asks about cyber insurance, incident response, breach notification, security contacts, incident history, or tabletop testing, separate current documented facts from claims that need business, contract, or security-owner review.
Question groups to prepare
- Current cyber insurance status and whether a certificate or summary can be shared.
- Incident response owner, escalation path, communication process, and last-reviewed date.
- Breach notification wording, timing, and triggers that may depend on contract terms.
- Security incident contact or monitored intake path, without exposing personal private emails.
- Incident-history answer ownership and what can be disclosed externally.
- Testing, tabletop, review, or exercise evidence that is current versus planned.
Safe answer pattern
Do not answer insurance or incident questions from memory. Confirm the evidence source, owner, and review status first, then keep buyer-facing language narrow and current. If a claim depends on insurance coverage, contract language, notification law, or incident history, mark it as review-needed.
