So, I own a software company that allows businesses to create intranets and other systems.
Obviously there is some sensitive data that can be hosted in these systems like company files, user accounts, user meta-data. I have a potential client asking about Errors and Omissions insurance, liability insurance.
I'm kind of winging this side of it, I've pitched to multiple companies, already have a big client, and no one has ever asked..
I always assumed I would be more the one taking the risk should a data breach occur (as unlikely as it is). I'm assuming they think it's a risk that we'd be worth nothing should they sue us?
How common does this come up, and is it typically a deal breaker?
