All has now been paid but there’s a proposal form that we need to fill in for the broker. If Russell and Joel could please look at the file and provide the Country breakdown on income:

To be insured with minimal premiums we need to have the following:

  •     A Cyber Incident Response Plan
  •     Data backup and recovery procedures
  •     Business Continuity and/or Disaster Recovery Plans
