Areas of coverage

CFC

  • role: CFC's Technology product is a single package policy for technology companies that bundles errors & omissions liability, breach-of-contract cover, IP infringement and media liability, and cyber cover. Technology product page and US product brochure; the policy as issued controls the exact scope for any one customer.company-reportedSource ↗Source ↗
  • insurer: The Technology application form names only CFC Underwriting Limited, a UK entity authorized and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, as the party administering the form. Neither the Technology product page nor the application discloses which specific insurer or Lloyd's syndicate capacity backs a given US Technology policy. Technology application footer and the regulatory information page, both checked on 2026-09-23; CFC's US arm, CFC USA Inc., separately holds admitted producer licenses and E&S authorization in NY, TX, GA and CA, but that page does not tie a specific license to the Technology product.not-disclosedSource ↗Source ↗
  • coverage: CFC describes coverage for financial loss, bodily injury or property damage arising from a technology company's products and services, plus legal liability for breach of client contracts and IP infringement claims such as copyright and trademark disputes. Product brochure feature descriptions; exclusions and conditions are set by the policy wording, which was not reviewed.company-reportedSource ↗
  • coverage: The cyber portion of the policy includes network and privacy liability, business interruption, data rectification and recreation costs, extortion cover, and social engineering coverage, sitting inside the same Technology package rather than as a separate purchase. Product brochure 'Comprehensive cyber cover' section.company-reportedSource ↗
  • limits: CFC publishes a maximum errors & omissions/media/cyber limit of $10,000,000 and a maximum commercial general liability limit of $6,000,000 for this product, with a minimum deductible of $0. Brochure 'Limits and deductibles' table; the limit and deductible on an individual policy's declarations control.company-reportedSource ↗
  • services: Policyholders get access to CFC's incident response service at a $0 deductible, sitting on a limit separate from the main policy limit, plus a free app with dark web monitoring, phishing simulations and network deep scanning. Brochure 'Market leading cyber incident response' and 'Response app highlights' sections; CFC calls its incident response team one of the largest in-house teams in the industry, a characterization not independently verified here.company-reportedSource ↗
  • application: The US Technology application asks for company revenue by year, funding-round history, subcontractor and hosting arrangements, and whether multi-factor authentication is enforced for remote network access and email; it is returned to your insurance broker. Application form Sections 1, 2 and 4; CFC also lists Connect and named API partners as digital trading channels on the product page, which may bypass a paper application for some brokers.company-reportedSource ↗Source ↗
  • eligibility: CFC says the Technology product is suitable for start-ups, mid-size and multinational tech companies, without publishing a specific revenue or headcount cutoff on the product page. Technology product page introduction; actual eligibility for a given applicant depends on underwriting review of the application.company-reportedSource ↗

Risklytics

  • role: Risklytics Insurance Services is a licensed insurance producer (NPN 22311838) that places Risklytics Professional Liability (Tech E&O) Insurance with outside carriers; it says it does not underwrite policies itself. About page; describes Risklytics' brokerage model generally, restated for this line.company-reportedSource ↗
  • coverage: Risklytics describes Tech E&O as responding when a company's product or service costs a customer money, such as a perception model mislabeling shipments or an integration error corrupting order data, and distinguishes it from cyber liability, which covers hacks and data leaks rather than a model's own faulty output. Lines page; the issued policy and declarations control actual coverage.company-reportedSource ↗
  • eligibility: Risklytics says enterprise customers usually require this coverage in procurement before signing a first customer contract, and that it becomes relevant once a customer relies on a model's output. Lines page.company-reportedSource ↗
  • limits: Risklytics lists a typical ask of $1 million to $5 million per claim for this line. Lines page; actual limits are set on the bound policy.company-reportedSource ↗
  • services: Risklytics calls Tech E&O the hardest line to get right because some insurers are quietly excluding AI-related losses, and says it reads every policy form for AI exclusions before it binds. Lines page.company-reportedSource ↗
  • insurer: Risklytics does not name the carrier that underwrites Risklytics Professional Liability (Tech E&O) Insurance on its site. It says it places business with specialist insurers willing to write robotics, autonomy and AI risk; the issuing carrier appears on the bound policy. Lines page and about page; no specific insurer is published for this line.company-reportedSource ↗Source ↗
  • application: You start Risklytics Professional Liability (Tech E&O) Insurance through Risklytics' online application. Risklytics says there is no broker fee on top of the premium and a licensed producer stays on the file until the program binds; its commission is paid by the carrier out of the premium either way. Pricing page describes the general application and fee process, not a line-specific form.company-reportedSource ↗Source ↗

What Are the Key Differences Between CFC and Risklytics Tech E&O Insurance?

E&O and Cyber in One Package vs AI-Focused Placement

CFC underwrites Technology as a package that puts cyber (network and privacy liability, business interruption, extortion, social engineering) inside the same policy as E&O, with up to $10 million, and your broker returns its US application. Risklytics is a licensed producer that places Tech E&O with specialist insurers willing to write robotics, autonomy and AI risk, and treats cyber as separate: Tech E&O pays when your product, such as a perception model mislabeling shipments, costs a customer money, while cyber covers hacks and leaks. Choose CFC if you want E&O and cyber in one policy with a high published limit; choose Risklytics if you build robotics, autonomy or AI and need insurers that will actually cover model failures.

AI-Exclusion Screening Only at Risklytics

Risklytics says some insurers quietly exclude AI-related losses, and it reads every form for AI exclusions before binding. CFC's Technology pages describe no such check, so ask CFC directly how its form treats AI output. Risklytics cites a typical ask of $1 million to $5 million per claim, starts with an online application, keeps one producer on your file, and charges no broker fee on top of premium; the insurer pays its commission. [12] [11] [3]

What Should You Confirm in CFC and Risklytics Tech E&O Insurance Quotes?

  • Ask Risklytics which insurer is quoting and whether the form excludes AI losses; ask CFC the same about its form. [12] [3]
  • Ask CFC which insurer backs its US Technology policy; the application does not say. [4]
  • If you go with Risklytics, decide whether you need a separate cyber policy. [12] [3]
  • Compare Risklytics' typical $1 million to $5 million with the limit CFC quotes. [11] [3]

CFC writes one Technology package with E&O and cyber together and limits up to $10 million, through your broker; Risklytics places Tech E&O for robotics, autonomy and AI companies with specialist insurers, reads every form for AI exclusions, and starts with an online application.
