Frequently Asked Questions

Does my BOP cover employee theft?
Standard BOP property forms specifically exclude employee dishonesty. You need a separate crime endorsement or standalone crime policy to cover internal theft.
What is PCI compliance and why does it matter?
PCI DSS is the security standard for handling credit cards. Non-compliance fines from card brands can reach $100K+ after a breach. Your cyber policy should cover PCI fines and forensic costs.
Do I need product liability if I just resell?
Yes. As a seller in the chain of distribution, you can be named in product liability suits even if you didn’t manufacture the item. GL’s products and completed operations covers this.
