Amelia Risk vs Cowbell Cyber Insurance

Amelia Risk arranges cyber liability coverage for its clients, describing and structuring the policy around network security and privacy liability rather than underwriting it directly. ⁴Company-reported. Amelia's own cyber liability product page as of 23 September 2026. Does not establish who issues a particular client's policy.

Cowbell operates as an insurance agency that markets its own named 'Prime' cyber product line, rather than distributing another carrier's off-the-shelf policy under its own brand. ^12,14,15Company-reported. Product overview PDFs for Prime 100, Prime 100 Pro, Prime 250, Prime One and Prime Plus.

The reviewed pages do not name an insurer for cyber placements; Amelia's marketing describes access to underwriters, wholesale brokers and carrier partners generally, without attributing any of them to cyber liability specifically. ⁴Not publicly disclosed. Cyber product page and specialty pages, checked 23 September 2026.

Cowbell says Prime 100 and Prime 100 Pro paper is provided by Palomar Specialty Insurance Company (AM Best A rating), Prime 250 by Palomar Specialty Insurance Company and Chaucer Insurance Company, and Prime One by Chaucer Specialty Insurance Company; the insurer therefore varies by which Prime product is placed. ^12,14,15Company-reported. Footer/underwriting statements in each product PDF.

Amelia Risk lists cyber liability among the policies it places for startups, technology companies, CPG (better-for-you food, beverage and cosmetic) brands, and consumer-product companies. ^5,6,7,8Company-reported. Specialty pages' "policies to consider" lists, marketed segments rather than an underwriting appetite statement.

Amelia Risk recommends buying cyber coverage early in a company's life, pointing to rising ransomware attacks against small businesses as the reason. ⁴Company-reported. Cyber product page timing guidance; a general recommendation, not a stated minimum revenue or headcount threshold.

Cowbell markets Prime 100 (admitted) to SMEs with up to $100M in revenue, Prime 100 Pro (admitted, available in 47 states) to a similar SME band with broader endorsements, Prime 250 (non-admitted) to businesses up to $1B in revenue, and Prime One (non-admitted) to organizations with more advanced digital exposure, typically $250M+ in annual revenue. ^12,13,14,15Company-reported. Risk Appetite sections of each PDF.

Amelia describes its cyber liability placements as combining network security and privacy liability (protecting a client's networks against unauthorized access and protecting personal, health or other sensitive data) with first-party coverage for losses the business incurs and third-party coverage for claims alleging the business is at fault. ⁴Company-reported. Cyber product page description; the actual policy wording and sublimits depend on the issuing insurer and the client's declarations.

Amelia describes cyber-crime and social engineering coverage as a traditional add-on to the base cyber policy rather than something included by default. ⁴Company-reported. Cyber product page description as of 23 September 2026.

Base Prime 100 coverages include security breach liability, social engineering, hardware replacement, business income and extra expense, extortion threats, computer and funds transfer fraud, and restoration of electronic data; Prime One adds affirmative AI-incident and quantum-computing-incident coverage for more advanced digital exposures. ^12,15Company-reported. Prime 100 Coverages and Prime One 'Emerging risk coverage' sections; illustrative, subject to the issued policy's terms.

Not described in the reviewed sources.

Cowbell states Prime 100 Pro adds endorsements with limits up to $3M, Prime One offers limits up to $10M for select risks, and Prime Plus is an excess layer offering up to $5M above a primary cyber policy; base Prime 100 and Prime 250 limit figures are not published in the reviewed PDFs. ^13,15,16Company-reported. Product overview PDFs; actual issued limits depend on underwriting.

The reviewed cyber page does not describe security-monitoring, incident-response, or other risk-control services for cyber policyholders beyond the coverage description itself. ⁴Not found in reviewed sources. Cyber product page as read on 23 September 2026; does not establish that no such services exist, only that this page doesn't describe them.

Cowbell says every Prime policy includes Cowbell Factors risk ratings, Cowbell Resiliency Services, Cowbell Insights guidance, Cowbell Connectors integrations with cloud/security providers, and complimentary Wizer cybersecurity-awareness training with unlimited seats in the first policy year. ^12,14Company-reported. 'The Cowbell Advantage' section, repeated across the reviewed product PDFs.

Not described in the reviewed sources.

Cowbell says agents can quote, bind and issue Prime 100 policies in less than five minutes, and that Prime 100 Pro requires only six underwriting questions for accounts under $50M in revenue; Prime products are distributed through appointed agents rather than direct to consumers. ^12,13Company-reported. Prime 100 and Prime 100 Pro overview PDFs; speed figures are company-reported, not independently timed.

The reviewed cyber page does not describe a breach-response process or claims-handling steps specific to cyber incidents. ⁴Not found in reviewed sources. Cyber product page as read on 23 September 2026; Amelia's general claims-advocacy description on other pages is not cyber-specific.

Cowbell says its in-house cyber claims team has over 80 years of combined claims-handling experience and provides 24/7 in-house claims support from initial triage through resolution. ^15,12Company-reported. Prime One 'When an incident occurs' section and 'Expert Claims Support' feature repeated across the product PDFs.
