Short answer
Start with the operation, then discuss the policy
The agency media, e&o and cyber risk matrix keeps preparation questions on this device. It does not transmit answers, score a risk or recommend a carrier.
This checklist helps advertising, creative, media and digital-marketing agencies organize the facts a licensed producer needs to understand. The goal is to connect client promises, published work, data access and subcontractors to the policy review.
Coverage names are only a starting point. Forms, endorsements, exclusions, limits and carrier appetite vary. The issued policy controls.
