    I am considering entering the InfoSec field as an independent consultant. My question is what kind of legal liabilities are general encountered during the course of work?  Is there Insurance available, like a type of mal-practice insurance?

I understand that systems can not be made 100% secure, and that knowledge transfer can be made to the client.  But, there remains the possibility that if a network is compromised, the client may litigate for damages, etc.

Any advice or pointers are most welcome.  My thanks in advance.
