What Are the Key Differences Between Coalition and Coverdash Tech E&O Insurance?

E&O Tied to Cyber Through a Broker vs Online Purchase à la Carte

Coalition designs Tech E&O to combine with its Active Cyber policy, not as a standalone policy, and sells it only through appointed brokers. Coverdash is a broker with a digital quote-to-purchase process where Tech E&O can stand alone or sit alongside general liability or cyber. Choose Coalition if you want E&O and cyber together plus security monitoring; choose Coverdash if you want to buy E&O online without committing to a specific cyber policy. [4] [8] [7]

Failed Products vs Late Projects and Mishandled Data

Coalition covers third-party financial losses from errors, omissions or negligence when your technology product or service fails. Coverdash describes claims that software didn’t perform as promised, a project was late or missed spec, or client data was mishandled, and says it pays defense even for a groundless claim. [4] [7]

Free Security Monitoring vs None Described

Coalition gives Tech E&O policyholders Coalition Control, its security monitoring platform, at no extra cost. Coverdash describes no comparable service. [4] [3] [7]

What Should You Confirm in Coalition and Coverdash Tech E&O Insurance Quotes?

  • Ask Coverdash which insurer issues the policy; its pages don’t say. [7]
  • Ask Coalition which surplus lines insurer backs its Tech E&O. Surplus lines insurers aren’t backed by state guaranty funds. [5] [4]
  • Get limits and retentions from both; neither publishes them. [7]
  • If you buy through Coverdash, decide whether you also need cyber, since Coalition requires it. [7] [4]
