You shouldn't focus your efforts on insurance, but on stressing to your clients the risk element of security. How much money do they want to spend on lowering the risk ?
I agree. The first thing in _any_ consulting engagement is setting the customer's expectations correctly. If you think the customers' expectations are unrealistic then you'd better expect trouble, walk away from the project, or hope you get lucky. mjr. -- Marcus J.
