At-Bay vs CFC Tech E&O Insurance

At-Bay places Tech E&O insurance through its disclosed producer, At-Bay Insurance Services LLC, which is licensed as an insurance producer in all 50 states. At-Bay says eligible new excess-and-surplus (E&S) Tech E&O business has been written on its own carrier paper, At-Bay Specialty Insurance Company, since August 2023. ^4,5Company-reported. Producer role from the current license page; carrier role from a 2023 transition announcement covering Cyber and Tech E&O together, not confirmed for every current quote.

CFC's Technology product is a single package policy for technology companies that bundles errors & omissions liability, breach-of-contract cover, IP infringement and media liability, and cyber cover. ^8,9Company-reported. Technology product page and US product brochure; the policy as issued controls the exact scope for any one customer.

The current Tech E&O product page does not name an issuing insurer. At-Bay's 2023 announcement says new E&S Tech E&O business is quoted on At-Bay Specialty Insurance Company paper, but that is a historical statement, not a per-quote disclosure. ^3,5Company-reported. Tech E&O product page checked today names no insurer; the carrier-transition release is dated August 2023 and does not cover every current state or account.

The Technology application form names only CFC Underwriting Limited, a UK entity authorized and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, as the party administering the form. Neither the Technology product page nor the application discloses which specific insurer or Lloyd's syndicate capacity backs a given US Technology policy. ^11,10Not publicly disclosed. Technology application footer and the regulatory information page, both checked on 2026-09-23; CFC's US arm, CFC USA Inc., separately holds admitted producer licenses and E&S authorization in NY, TX, GA and CA, but that page does not tie a specific license to the Technology product.

Not described in the reviewed sources.

CFC says the Technology product is suitable for start-ups, mid-size and multinational tech companies, without publishing a specific revenue or headcount cutoff on the product page. ⁸Company-reported. Technology product page introduction; actual eligibility for a given applicant depends on underwriting review of the application.

At-Bay says its Tech E&O policy expands breach-of-contract coverage beyond a standard technology liability policy, carries no exclusion for breach of warranties, guarantees or consequential damages, and extends intellectual-property infringement coverage to trade-secret misappropriation, cybersquatting, improper deep-linking and source-code license violations, in addition to standard software copyright infringement. ³Company-reported. Product-page coverage highlights; the issued policy and endorsements control actual terms.

At-Bay describes negligence coverage for improper installations, coding errors, data-processing flaws, failed implementations and network outages, plus contractual-indemnity coverage for obligations a technology company owes customers from an alleged wrongful act. It also counts service credits issued to settle a claim as payable damages under the policy. ³Company-reported. Product-page coverage highlights; the issued policy and endorsements control actual terms.

CFC describes coverage for financial loss, bodily injury or property damage arising from a technology company's products and services, plus legal liability for breach of client contracts and IP infringement claims such as copyright and trademark disputes. ⁹Company-reported. Product brochure feature descriptions; exclusions and conditions are set by the policy wording, which was not reviewed.

The cyber portion of the policy includes network and privacy liability, business interruption, data rectification and recreation costs, extortion cover, and social engineering coverage, sitting inside the same Technology package rather than as a separate purchase. ⁹Company-reported. Product brochure 'Comprehensive cyber cover' section.

At-Bay says it writes primary and excess Tech E&O insurance for businesses with revenue up to $5 billion and limits up to $10 million. Through its Broker Platform, brokers can get automated quotes only for businesses up to $100 million in revenue and $3 million in limits. ³Company-reported. Published appetite ceilings, not guaranteed offers; underwriting and the appetite guide control individual accounts.

CFC publishes a maximum errors & omissions/media/cyber limit of $10,000,000 and a maximum commercial general liability limit of $6,000,000 for this product, with a minimum deductible of $0. ⁹Company-reported. Brochure 'Limits and deductibles' table; the limit and deductible on an individual policy's declarations control.

Every At-Bay Tech E&O policy includes access to At-Bay Stance, a security platform with vulnerability monitoring, vCISO advisory and tabletop exercises, and security awareness training, the same InsurSec package structure marketed with its cyber product. Managed detection and response (MDR) is a separate purchase sold by At-Bay Security, LLC. ³Company-reported. Product-page InsurSec and footnote descriptions; MDR pricing is described as estimated and subject to change.

Policyholders get access to CFC's incident response service at a $0 deductible, sitting on a limit separate from the main policy limit, plus a free app with dark web monitoring, phishing simulations and network deep scanning. ⁹Company-reported. Brochure 'Market leading cyber incident response' and 'Response app highlights' sections; CFC calls its incident response team one of the largest in-house teams in the industry, a characterization not independently verified here.

You apply for At-Bay Tech E&O coverage by emailing a submission to underwriting@at-bay.com or by requesting an automated quote through At-Bay's Broker Platform. ³Company-reported. Product-page submission instructions; the Broker Platform route is limited to accounts within its lower appetite ceilings.

The US Technology application asks for company revenue by year, funding-round history, subcontractor and hosting arrangements, and whether multi-factor authentication is enforced for remote network access and email; it is returned to your insurance broker. ^11,8Company-reported. Application form Sections 1, 2 and 4; CFC also lists Connect and named API partners as digital trading channels on the product page, which may bypass a paper application for some brokers.

At-Bay's claims-handling page describes a cyber incident roadmap and breach-coach hotline for ransomware and system-interruption events, but the reviewed page does not describe a separate process for a Tech E&O claim that does not involve a cyber incident, such as a professional-liability or contract dispute. ⁶Not found in reviewed sources. Claims-handling page as read on 2026-09-23; does not establish that no Tech E&O-specific process exists, only that this page does not describe one.
