At-Bay vs Newfront 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.

Newfront lists Technology Errors and Omissions (E&O) as one of the named coverages its Cyber Risk practice places, alongside cyber liability, data breach, business interruption, network security liability and cyber extortion coverage. Newfront brokers this coverage; it does not underwrite it. ¹¹Company-reported. Cyber Risk page's Key Coverages list.

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 reviewed page does not name an insurer for technology E&O placements; as a broker, Newfront's carrier for this line would depend on the placement. ¹¹Not found in reviewed sources. Checked the Cyber Risk page for a named tech E&O carrier; none was found.

Not described in the reviewed sources.

The reviewed page markets the Cyber Risk practice broadly, without a technology-E&O-specific eligibility threshold; Newfront says its cyber team helps clients navigate "increased underwriting standards" as carriers evaluate applicants. ¹¹Company-reported. Cyber Risk page's Our Approach introduction.

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.

Newfront names its "Tech E&O and Cyber team" specifically and says that team "negotiates bespoke language to ensure the broadest terms available in the marketplace," indicating technology E&O is negotiated alongside cyber wording rather than sold as an off-the-shelf form; the reviewed page does not describe specific tech E&O exclusions or professional-services scope. ¹¹Company-reported. Cyber Risk page's Subject Matter Expertise 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.

Newfront says its technology team provides "proprietary modeling data to make informed decisions on limits that align with your risk exposure and tolerance," but the reviewed page does not publish specific limit ranges, retentions or premium figures for technology E&O. ¹¹Not publicly disclosed. Cyber Risk page's Subject Matter Expertise section; limit amounts are quote-specific.

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.

Newfront says it delivers risk assessment on cyber infrastructure and policy design, negotiates coverage and placement once a client is aligned with regulatory and carrier requirements, and provides "hands-on" claims consultation before and after a breach or claim, applied to the cyber-and-tech-E&O tower it services together. ¹¹Company-reported. Cyber Risk page's Our Approach section; describes the cyber practice generally, applied to tech E&O as a listed coverage within it.

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.

You engage Newfront's Cyber Risk practice for technology E&O placement by requesting a consultation, which asks for your industry, company details and the service you need rather than issuing an instant quote. ¹²Company-reported. General consultation intake, not a technology-E&O-specific application path.

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.
