AIG vs The Hartford: How Do They Compare for Tech E&O Insurance?

AIG markets Technology Services E&O as coverage for technology service providers. AIG is the marketing name; its legal footer says products are written or provided by subsidiaries or affiliates and does not identify the issuer for an individual policy. ³Company-reported. AIG’s U.S. Professional Liability page’s distinct Technology Services description. This is not a named policy form or issuer assignment.

The Hartford's FailSafe Technology Liability Product Suite is its technology errors and omissions (E&O) product, aimed at technology companies whose products or services can cause a customer's pure financial loss that traditional liability policies usually don't cover. ⁷Company-reported. Technology E&O product page as read 2026-09-23.

AIG identifies technology service providers as the target audience for this offering. It does not publish a complete eligible-occupation list or state-by-state appetite on the reviewed page. ³Company-reported. Target audience stated in AIG’s Technology Services section; applicant eligibility remains underwriting-specific.

The Hartford names buyer types for Tech E&O: software and IT specialists (custom/packaged software developers, website designers, computer consultants, systems integrators, federal IT contractors), hardware and electronics manufacturers, and telecommunications providers (local/long-distance carriers, internet/application service providers, website hosting). ⁷Company-reported. Technology E&O product page as read 2026-09-23.

AIG describes coverage for claims alleging errors or omissions in the performance of technology services, including third-party economic-loss allegations. The marketing description does not establish that a specific claim is covered; policy definitions, exclusions and conditions control. ³Company-reported. AIG’s marketing description of Technology Services E&O; no policy form or endorsement was reviewed.

The Hartford lists FailSafe Technology E&O coverage features: errors and omissions liability, security liability, data privacy and network security liability, personal injury liability, intellectual property liability, and media liability. It distinguishes this from its separate cyber liability coverage, which addresses cyberattacks and data leaks specifically rather than broader product/service failures. ⁷Company-reported. Technology E&O product page as read 2026-09-23. General coverage description; the issued policy controls.

The reviewed page does not state standard limits, retentions or deductibles for Technology Services E&O. Confirm them in the quote and issued policy. ³Not publicly disclosed. AIG’s U.S. Professional Liability page reviewed 2026-09-30; no buyer-specific quote or policy was reviewed.

The Hartford says E&O coverage for technology businesses typically costs about $500 to $1,000 per year per employee; the page does not publish standard coverage limits, which depend on location, employee count, coverage limits chosen and lawsuit history. ⁷Company-reported. Company-reported cost range as of 2026-09-23 (page last updated by The Hartford September 19, 2024); not a coverage limit.

AIG says its professional-liability claims team includes in-house professionals and third-party experts, collaborates with clients during claims, and uses claims data to help evaluate and mitigate loss. These are general company-reported professional-liability services, not a guaranteed outcome for a technology E&O claim. ³Company-reported. AIG Professional Liability page claims description; technology-specific service standards are not stated.
