Its E&O covers defense, judgments, settlements and fines from misrepresentation, breach of professional services and misleading advice. Coverdash covers software that did not perform, late or off-spec work, and client data mishandled through a security failure, including defense of groundless claims, but says nothing about prior acts or tail.
