Your Sub Is Insured. You're Still Exposed.
A subcontract requires $2 million in general liability coverage, with your company named as additional insured. The sub sends over a certificate. It's current, it's signed, it's filed.

Nobody caught it, because nobody read the certificate against what the subcontract actually required. It went in the folder marked compliant. Then a claim comes in at $1.4 million.

They keep a spreadsheet or maybe a platform that shows green checkmarks next to tenant names. And every time they look at that spreadsheet, they feel a little better about their risk exposure. That confidence is misplaced. Here's why
