- The policy may distinguish confidential specialist underwriting from legal and claims-process constraints
- Accurate disclosure, controls and prompt notification remain material to the underwriting and claims process

- Security and crisis-management arrangements
- Relevant exposure groups
- Existing specialist support and risk controls
