FAQ
Common Questions
What is the difference between Tech E&O and Cyber Liability?
Tech E&O (Errors & Omissions) covers claims from professional mistakes in delivering technology products or services — such as a software bug causing client losses. Cyber Liability covers the costs of a data breach or cyber attack — like notification expenses, forensics, and third-party claims. Many tech companies need both.
Does my startup need professional liability coverage?
Yes — even early-stage companies face professional liability exposure. In fact, many enterprise clients require proof of professional liability insurance before signing contracts. Getting coverage early can open doors and protect your business.
Can media liability be added to a Tech E&O policy?
Many carriers offer a combined Technology & Media Liability policy that bundles tech E&O with media liability coverage. This can be more cost-effective than purchasing separate policies. Contact us to explore your options.
