Amelia Risk vs Beazley Tech E&O Insurance

Amelia Risk is a brokerage, not an insurer, and it places Technology Errors & Omissions as its own listed policy line, separate from the general liability and umbrella grouping on its policies page. ^6,4Company-reported. Policies hub and dedicated Tech E&O page as read on 2026-09-23. Does not identify which insurer would issue a placed policy.

Beazley sells technology errors and omissions coverage bundled inside MediaTech, a single small-business form that also includes professional E&O, media liability and cyber coverage. It is not offered as a standalone tech E&O policy for this segment. ⁷Company-reported. US small-business MediaTech product page; does not address Beazley's larger-account technology E&O programs, if any.

The dedicated Tech E&O page does not name an issuing insurer, wholesale market or program; Amelia Risk's general pages say it places business with the dozens of insurance companies it works with, so the actual carrier for a Tech E&O placement depends on underwriting. ^4,2Not publicly disclosed. Dedicated Tech E&O page and specialties process page, both as read on 2026-09-23. A checked gap, not a statement that no insurer exists.

Beazley's posted Digital MediaTech Application names Beazley Insurance Company, Inc. as the insurer on its cover page. The actual issuing entity and state of admission for a given policy is confirmed on the quote and declarations, not the blank application. ¹¹Company-reported. Application form F00859, 042022 edition; not a regulator record and not evidence of the entity for every state or route.

Amelia Risk says a company should generally consider Tech E&O once people are using its technology, whether in beta or full release. ⁴Company-reported. Dedicated Tech E&O page's purchase-timing guidance. A general trigger the firm states, not an underwriting eligibility rule.

Amelia Risk markets Tech E&O to its technology-industry clients, a specialty vertical it describes as covering software, hardware, robotics, AI, autonomous-vehicle software and life-sciences companies. ⁵Company-reported. Technology specialty page as read on 2026-09-16. Describes the firm's marketed audience, not a stated size or revenue threshold.

Not described in the reviewed sources.

Amelia Risk describes Tech E&O as a more specific term for professional liability: it protects a company if its product or service fails and causes a client or user a financial loss. ⁴Company-reported. Dedicated Tech E&O page copy. A general definition, not a specimen policy form or list of exclusions.

The sample MediaTech form defines two technology-specific triggers: a Tech & Professional Services Wrongful Act (a negligent act, error, omission, misstatement or unintentional breach of contract in rendering Tech Services) and a Tech Product Wrongful Act (a Tech Product that fails to perform as intended, or software copyright infringement). Both are separate from the policy's Media Wrongful Act trigger. ¹²Company-reported. Sample policy form F00731, 022019 edition, insuring agreements and definitions; the issued policy's wording and any endorsements control.

The sample form excludes patent infringement and trade-secret misappropriation connected to Tech Products or other products, even though it insures Tech Product Wrongful Acts generally. ¹²Company-reported. Sample policy form F00731, 022019 edition, Patent & Misappropriation of Information exclusion; excludes only patent and the described trade-secret scenario, not all IP claims.

Not described in the reviewed sources.

Coverage is claims-made and reported: it responds only to claims first made and reported during the policy period (or a purchased Optional Extension Period), and defense costs reduce the available limit. A buyer can purchase an Optional Extension Period (a tail) for additional premium after non-renewal or cancellation. ^12,11Company-reported. Sample policy form F00731; application form repeats the same notice; specific tail pricing and duration are set in the declarations, not disclosed publicly.

Amelia Risk applies its general four-step brokerage process to a Tech E&O request: it gathers information about the company, approaches insurers on the client's behalf, reviews the resulting quotes together, and lets the client decide how to proceed. ²Company-reported. Specialties page process description, which applies across the firm's lines rather than describing a Tech E&O-specific intake form.

Beazley's MediaTech application asks for employee count, US and non-US revenue for the last three years, the share of revenue from managed IT services, and answers about ransomware controls such as multi-factor authentication, VPN use, patching cadence and backup frequency. ¹¹Company-reported. Application form F00859, 042022 edition, General Information, Revenue Information and Ransomware Controls sections; a completed application does not establish acceptance.

Beazley says small and midsize MediaTech business is placed through third-party placement platforms or by email, with automated processing rather than a direct-to-consumer purchase flow. ⁷Company-reported. MediaTech product page SME placement paragraph; describes the stated distribution channel only.

Amelia Risk says it advocates for a client's needs during claims as part of its general brokerage process; the reviewed pages do not describe a Tech E&O-specific claims procedure or dedicated claims contact. ²Company-reported. Specialties page 'Our Process' section. A general brokerage claims-advocacy statement, not a line-specific claims service.

Beazley says its cyber and tech claims team, including experienced litigators, has handled thousands of E&O claims involving software failures, implementation errors and IP disputes. ⁷Company-reported. MediaTech product page claims paragraph; outcome and volume figures are Beazley's own description and not independently verified.
