What Are the Key Differences Between Chubb and Marsh Tech E&O Insurance?

One Named Policy vs a Multi-Line Data-Center Program

Chubb underwrites DigiTech ERM, one policy combining tech E&O with media and cyber for software and system developers, tech services and consulting firms, and electronics and hardware manufacturers, quoted through Cyber Central or Chubb Marketplace. Marsh treats tech E&O as a professional-liability specialty and builds it into data-center programs that combine property, casualty and other lines, with insurers it doesn’t name. Choose Chubb if you are a software, services or hardware company wanting one policy; choose Marsh if you run a data center or need tech E&O coordinated with a large property program. [2] [5] [8] [7]

Documented Additions vs a Warning About Standard Forms

Chubb says DigiTech ERM covers third-party financial injury from your products or services, a broadened technology-incident definition, software copyright infringement and product-recall loss of use, and doesn’t exclude delays or failure to deliver. Marsh says off-the-shelf tech E&O wasn’t built for the scale and concentration of modern data centers and can leave gaps. Neither publishes limits. [2] [7]

What Should You Confirm in Chubb and Marsh Tech E&O Insurance Quotes?

  • Ask Marsh whether you are quoted a data-center program or standalone tech E&O, and which insurers it would use. [7] [8]
  • Ask Marsh whether its placed wording covers late delivery, software copyright and product recall the way Chubb’s does. [2]
  • Get DigiTech ERM limits from Chubb. [2]

Chubb’s DigiTech ERM puts tech E&O, media and cyber on one policy for software, services and hardware firms, and doesn’t exclude claims for late or failed delivery. Marsh is a broker that builds tech E&O into data-center programs alongside property and casualty, because standard forms leave gaps at that scale.
