What Are the Key Differences Between Beazley and Liberty Mutual Tech E&O Insurance?

Beazley places Tech E&O inside MediaTech

Beazley sells technology E&O within MediaTech, a small-business form that also includes professional E&O, media liability, and cyber; it is not standalone Tech E&O for this segment. Liberty Mutual describes Liberty Tech Resolution as a blended cyber and Tech E&O solution, but its reviewed description does not enumerate media or professional E&O components. If you want multiple liabilities in one form, ask each insurer which sections are included and whether separate limits apply. [4] [7]

Beazley spells out product-failure triggers and exclusions

Beazley's sample form includes technology services wrongful acts and technology products that fail to perform, plus software copyright infringement; it excludes patent infringement and trade-secret misappropriation. Liberty Mutual calls its product a cyber and Tech E&O blend but does not specify these triggers or exclusions in the reviewed claim. A software company should compare the exact IP exclusions and product-failure wording before relying on either quote. [3] [7]

Beazley's application asks about operations and controls

Beazley requests employee count, three years of revenue, managed IT revenue share, and ransomware controls such as MFA, VPN, patching, and backups. Liberty Mutual directs buyers to a broker or agent without listing application questions in its reviewed claim. Ask the Liberty Mutual broker for its submission requirements. [2] [7]

What Should You Confirm in Beazley and Liberty Mutual Tech E&O Insurance Quotes?

  • Ask Beazley whether MediaTech's claims-made tail and defense costs reducing limits apply to your quote. [3]
  • Ask Liberty Mutual which Tech E&O and cyber sections, limits, and IP exclusions are included in Liberty Tech Resolution. [7]

Areas of coverage

Beazley

  • role: Beazley sells technology errors and omissions coverage bundled inside MediaTech, a single small-business form that also includes professional E&O, media liability and cyber coverage. It is not offered as a standalone tech E&O policy for this segment. US small-business MediaTech product page; does not address Beazley's larger-account technology E&O programs, if any.company-reportedSource ↗
  • insurer: Beazley's posted Digital MediaTech Application names Beazley Insurance Company, Inc. as the insurer on its cover page. The actual issuing entity and state of admission for a given policy is confirmed on the quote and declarations, not the blank application. Application form F00859, 042022 edition; not a regulator record and not evidence of the entity for every state or route.company-reportedSource ↗
  • coverage: The sample MediaTech form defines two technology-specific triggers: a Tech & Professional Services Wrongful Act (a negligent act, error, omission, misstatement or unintentional breach of contract in rendering Tech Services) and a Tech Product Wrongful Act (a Tech Product that fails to perform as intended, or software copyright infringement). Both are separate from the policy's Media Wrongful Act trigger. Sample policy form F00731, 022019 edition, insuring agreements and definitions; the issued policy's wording and any endorsements control.company-reportedSource ↗
  • coverage: The sample form excludes patent infringement and trade-secret misappropriation connected to Tech Products or other products, even though it insures Tech Product Wrongful Acts generally. Sample policy form F00731, 022019 edition, Patent & Misappropriation of Information exclusion; excludes only patent and the described trade-secret scenario, not all IP claims.company-reportedSource ↗
  • limits: Coverage is claims-made and reported: it responds only to claims first made and reported during the policy period (or a purchased Optional Extension Period), and defense costs reduce the available limit. A buyer can purchase an Optional Extension Period (a tail) for additional premium after non-renewal or cancellation. Sample policy form F00731; application form repeats the same notice; specific tail pricing and duration are set in the declarations, not disclosed publicly.company-reportedSource ↗Source ↗
  • application: Beazley's MediaTech application asks for employee count, US and non-US revenue for the last three years, the share of revenue from managed IT services, and answers about ransomware controls such as multi-factor authentication, VPN use, patching cadence and backup frequency. Application form F00859, 042022 edition, General Information, Revenue Information and Ransomware Controls sections; a completed application does not establish acceptance.company-reportedSource ↗
  • application: Beazley says small and midsize MediaTech business is placed through third-party placement platforms or by email, with automated processing rather than a direct-to-consumer purchase flow. MediaTech product page SME placement paragraph; describes the stated distribution channel only.company-reportedSource ↗
  • claims: Beazley says its cyber and tech claims team, including experienced litigators, has handled thousands of E&O claims involving software failures, implementation errors and IP disputes. MediaTech product page claims paragraph; outcome and volume figures are Beazley's own description and not independently verified.company-reportedSource ↗

Liberty Mutual
