What Are the Key Differences Between AIG and Embroker Tech E&O Insurance?

Coverage design and fit

AIG describes Technology Services E&O for allegations of errors or omissions in performing technology services, including third-party economic loss. Embroker lists a blended Tech E&O/Cyber policy that includes professional negligence, software or hardware defects, breach of contract, and delayed product launch. Buyers should check whether a product failure or launch delay is treated as an E&O loss or a cyber exposure in the proposed form. [2] [5]

Eligibility, services, and placement

Embroker’s broker program targets private, for-profit technology companies below $300 million in revenue and excludes crypto, blockchain, and cannabis; it also requires MFA above $5 million revenue. AIG identifies technology-service providers without publishing a full class list or state appetite. An applicant should compare these screening rules before investing in submissions. [2] [5]

What Should You Confirm in AIG and Embroker Tech E&O Insurance Quotes?

  • Ask AIG Technology to specify the form terms and limits relevant to your technology services. [2]
  • Ask Embroker Technology to confirm how its stated program details apply to your business and proposed policy. [5]

Areas of coverage

AIG

  • role: AIG markets Technology Services E&O as coverage for technology service providers. AIG is the marketing name; its legal footer says products are written or provided by subsidiaries or affiliates and does not identify the issuer for an individual policy. AIG’s U.S. Professional Liability page’s distinct Technology Services description. This is not a named policy form or issuer assignment.company-reportedSource ↗
  • eligibility: AIG identifies technology service providers as the target audience for this offering. It does not publish a complete eligible-occupation list or state-by-state appetite on the reviewed page. Target audience stated in AIG’s Technology Services section; applicant eligibility remains underwriting-specific.company-reportedSource ↗
  • coverage: AIG describes coverage for claims alleging errors or omissions in the performance of technology services, including third-party economic-loss allegations. The marketing description does not establish that a specific claim is covered; policy definitions, exclusions and conditions control. AIG’s marketing description of Technology Services E&O; no policy form or endorsement was reviewed.company-reportedSource ↗
  • services: AIG says its professional-liability claims team includes in-house professionals and third-party experts, collaborates with clients during claims, and uses claims data to help evaluate and mitigate loss. These are general company-reported professional-liability services, not a guaranteed outcome for a technology E&O claim. AIG Professional Liability page claims description; technology-specific service standards are not stated.company-reportedSource ↗
  • limits: The reviewed page does not state standard limits, retentions or deductibles for Technology Services E&O. Confirm them in the quote and issued policy. AIG’s U.S. Professional Liability page reviewed 2026-09-30; no buyer-specific quote or policy was reviewed.not-disclosedSource ↗

Embroker

  • role: Embroker sells Tech E&O/Cyber as a single blended policy directly to technology companies and also distributes it through appointed brokers via its Embroker Access broker portal. Retail and broker-facing page descriptions; not a statement about the issuing insurer.company-reportedSource ↗Source ↗
  • eligibility: Embroker's broker program targets private, for-profit technology companies (including fintech, AI, digital health, HR tech and SaaS) with under $300 million in revenue, requires multifactor authentication for accounts above $5 million in revenue, and excludes businesses involved in crypto, blockchain or cannabis. Broker Access appetite page; not a guarantee of eligibility for a particular business, and may differ from retail underwriting appetite.company-reportedSource ↗
  • coverage: Embroker lists coverage for cyber liability (data breaches, cyber theft, cyber vandalism), professional negligence from product or tech errors, software or hardware defects, breach of contract, and losses from a delayed product launch. Retail product-page What's covered section; the issued policy and declarations control.company-reportedSource ↗
  • coverage: Embroker's retail page says the policy excludes criminal activity, financial insolvency, copyright infringement or libel claims, and intellectual property infringement, while its broker program advertises software code infringement coverage as an included feature. Retail What's not included section versus the broker program's Additional features list; the public descriptions do not reconcile this difference, so confirm the proposed form's exact IP-related coverage on a quote.conflictingSource ↗Source ↗
  • limits: Embroker's broker program advertises limits up to $5 million for most insuring agreements, with sub-limits of $1 million for reputational harm and telecommunications fraud, and $500,000 for social engineering, funds transfer fraud and bricking (which includes a $100,000 betterment sub-limit). Broker Access Coverage Highlights; retail underwriting limits were not separately disclosed on the reviewed retail page.company-reportedSource ↗
  • limits: Embroker offers excess Tech E&O/Cyber coverage above a primary policy, but its excess product cannot sit above an Embroker primary policy — buyers need an underlying Tech E&O or Tech E&O + Cyber policy from a different carrier before applying for excess. Retail 'What is excess Tech E&O / Cyber Insurance?' and 'How to apply' sections; a related excess-specific offering exists for management-liability but is treated separately here.company-reportedSource ↗
  • application: Embroker offers a direct online quote through its digital platform, and separately appoints brokers through Embroker Access to place the same coverage for their clients. Retail 'Quick quotes' feature and broker-portal 'Get Appointed' call to action; no quote or appointment was requested during this research.company-reportedSource ↗Source ↗
