What Are the Key Differences Between TechInsurance and Vouch Tech E&O Insurance?
Own-System Breach Covered vs Left to a Separate Policy
TechInsurance sells E&O plus cyber liability as two policies for IT companies, and its cyber policy covers breaches of your own systems as well as your clients’. Vouch is a broker, not an insurer, placing tech E&O for tech startups; its explainer excludes cyber incidents on your own systems from tech E&O, so you’d need a separate cyber policy. Choose TechInsurance if you are a small IT firm that wants breach cover bundled in; choose Vouch if you are a venture-backed startup buying a broader program through a broker. [6] [9] [10]
IP Disputes as an Add-On vs Accidental Infringement Included
TechInsurance says IP and copyright disputes aren’t automatic on its standard bundle. Vouch lists accidental IP infringement among the claims tech E&O covers, along with third-party data-breach liability tied to your services. If an infringement claim is plausible, Vouch’s described cover goes further by default. [6] [10]
