Negotiating cyber insurance across multiple sites often feels reactive, inconsistent, and siloed, leading to coverage gaps and misaligned expectations.

The situation this course is for

Multi-site organizations face unique challenges in cyber insurance: fragmented risk profiles, inconsistent security postures, and decentralized decision-making. Standard policies rarely reflect operational reality, and negotiation is often left to generalists without technical grounding or strategic alignment. Without a structured approach, teams overpay for inadequate coverage or inherit hidden exclusions that only surface after an incident.

Who this is for

Business continuity leads, risk managers, IT directors, and compliance officers in multi-site organizations who influence or own cyber insurance decisions.

Who this is not for

Individual contributors with no decision-making role in insurance procurement, vendors selling insurance products, or professionals focused only on single-location risk.

What you walk away with

  • Map cyber insurance requirements to multi-site operational realities
  • Identify and eliminate common policy exclusions that create blind spots
  • Build negotiation dossiers that align technical controls with coverage demands
  • Lead cross-functional alignment between IT, legal, finance, and executive teams
  • Deploy a repeatable process for annual renewals and provider transitions
