Key Differences in Cyber Insurance

Role

Harper describes calling the insurance companies that write cyber coverage and presenting the resulting options to a business, rather than issuing a policy itself. 11 Beazley, by contrast, publishes a downloadable sample policy form for its cyber-bundled MediaTech product, spelling out specific insuring agreements rather than a shopped set of options. 6

Depth of Coverage Detail

Harper's most detailed cyber description appears on its eCommerce industry page, covering data breaches, payment fraud, hacking incidents and customer-information exposure, with its FAQ adding that coverage may apply to notification costs, credit monitoring and certain regulatory expenses.

On its eCommerce industry page, Harper describes cyber protection as covering data breaches, payment fraud, hacking incidents and exposure of customer information, and its FAQ adds that cyber liability coverage may apply to customer notification costs, credit monitoring and certain regulatory expenses. 10Company-reported. eCommerce industry page; this description is given in the context of online retailers, dropshippers, marketplace sellers and DTC brands, and may not describe cyber coverage the same way for other industries.

Beazley's sample MediaTech form goes further, naming Breach Response Costs, Cyber Extortion Loss, and eCrime as distinct insuring agreements with their own policy definitions rather than a general FAQ description. 6

Eligibility

Harper frames cyber coverage around online retailers, dropshipping businesses, marketplace sellers and direct-to-consumer brands on its eCommerce page, while also listing cyber as a general option on its homepage intake for any business. 10 Beazley's Full Spectrum Cyber applies a specific revenue ceiling instead — accounts under $35 million — regardless of industry vertical. 5

What to Confirm in Cyber Insurance Quotes

  • Ask Harper which insurer or insurers it's actually shopping for your cyber quote, since its homepage shows only an unlabeled logo panel. 11
  • Ask Beazley for the issuing insurer as well, since Full Spectrum Cyber's page names none either. 5
  • If your business isn't an online retailer, ask Harper whether the eCommerce-focused coverage description still applies to your policy. 10
  • Get specific limits and retentions from Harper, since neither of its reviewed pages publishes them. 11

CriteriaBeazley Full Spectrum Cyber for Small BusinessesHarper Cyber Insurance
Role in This Line

For small businesses, Beazley sells cyber coverage two ways: as Full Spectrum Cyber, built around its Beazley Breach Response product plus integrated risk-management services from its in-house Beazley Security unit, and as the cyber component bundled inside the broader MediaTech form alongside tech E&O, professional E&O and media liability. 5,1Company-reported. US small-business product pages for Full Spectrum Cyber and MediaTech; does not address any larger-account cyber program Beazley may write separately.

For cyber insurance, Harper describes calling the insurance companies that write the coverage for a business and presenting the resulting options to choose from, rather than issuing a cyber policy itself. 11Company-reported. Homepage 'What we cover' introduction and coverage list, where cyber is one of the enumerated lines.

Issuing Insurer

The Full Spectrum Cyber page does not name an issuing insurer. Beazley's Digital MediaTech Application, which bundles a cyber insuring agreement, names Beazley Insurance Company, Inc. on its cover page, but the actual issuing entity for a stand-alone cyber quote is not established by the reviewed pages. 5,7Not found in reviewed sources. Full Spectrum Cyber product page and MediaTech application form, both checked on 2026-09-23; not a regulator record.

Harper's public pages do not name the insurer or insurers that would underwrite a cyber policy; the homepage shows an unlabeled panel of insurer logos it says it works with, without listing carriers for cyber specifically. 11Not publicly disclosed. Checked the homepage insurer-logo panel and eCommerce industry page on 2026-09-23.

Who It’s For

Beazley says Full Spectrum Cyber is available to accounts with under $35 million in annual revenue, with coverage limits up to $5 million, purchased by a broker through Beazley's myBeazley platform. 5Company-reported. Full Spectrum Cyber product page eligibility paragraph; eligibility for a particular business still depends on underwriting.

Harper positions cyber coverage as relevant to online retailers, dropshipping businesses, marketplace sellers and private-label or direct-to-consumer brands on its eCommerce industry page, while also listing cyber as a general coverage option for any business on the homepage intake. 10,11Company-reported. eCommerce industry page 'Who this is for' section combined with the homepage's general cyber checkbox; no cyber-specific eligibility criteria (such as revenue thresholds) were found.

Coverage Features

The sample MediaTech cyber insuring agreements cover Breach Response Costs after an actual or suspected data breach, Cyber Extortion Loss from an extortion threat, business interruption loss from a security breach or system failure, and eCrime losses from fraudulent instruction, funds transfer fraud or telephone fraud. 6Company-reported. Sample policy form F00731, 022019 edition; the issued policy's wording and any endorsements control, and a stand-alone Full Spectrum Cyber policy may use different wording.

Harper's homepage summarizes cyber insurance as coverage for the cleanup if a business's systems or card payments get hacked. 11Company-reported. Homepage 'What we cover' blurb; the issued policy and declarations would control actual insuring agreements and exclusions.

On its eCommerce industry page, Harper describes cyber protection as covering data breaches, payment fraud, hacking incidents and exposure of customer information, and its FAQ adds that cyber liability coverage may apply to customer notification costs, credit monitoring and certain regulatory expenses. 10Company-reported. eCommerce industry page; this description is given in the context of online retailers, dropshippers, marketplace sellers and DTC brands, and may not describe cyber coverage the same way for other industries.

Limits and Retentions

In the sample MediaTech form, unless the declarations list a separate amount, the cyber-related insuring agreements share the same Policy Aggregate Limit of Liability with the policy's technology, professional and media coverages rather than carrying a dedicated cyber-only limit. 6Company-reported. Sample policy form F00731, 022019 edition, Limit of Liability and Coverage section; actual sublimits depend on what is purchased and shown on the declarations, and may differ for a stand-alone Full Spectrum Cyber policy.

The reviewed pages do not publish cyber policy limits, retentions or a claims-made versus occurrence trigger; the eCommerce page's cost FAQ discusses eCommerce insurance overall rather than cyber coverage alone, so it is not used as a cyber-specific figure here. 11,10Not publicly disclosed. Checked the homepage and eCommerce industry page on 2026-09-23.

Risk Services

Full Spectrum Cyber policyholders get discounted access to vendor services, including anti-phishing tools and training, email security services, cyber risk analysis and other pre-breach prevention services, through Beazley's partnership with its in-house Beazley Security unit. 5Company-reported. Full Spectrum Cyber product page Vendor Services section; discount terms and vendor identities are not disclosed on the page.

Not described in the reviewed sources.

How to Apply

Beazley says brokers can get a quote and bind Full Spectrum Cyber through its myBeazley platform for qualifying small accounts. The MediaTech application separately asks about ransomware controls such as multi-factor authentication, VPN use, patch timing and backup frequency, which affect underwriting. 5,7Company-reported. Full Spectrum Cyber product page myBeazley paragraph and MediaTech application Ransomware Controls section; a completed application does not establish acceptance, and myBeazley is a broker tool, not a direct-to-business portal.

You can start a cyber quote through Harper's online intake by selecting the 'Hacking, data breaches, card fraud (cyber)' checkbox alongside the business's state, estimated annual revenue and a description of what it does. 11Company-reported. Homepage quote-intake form.
