Beazley vs Marsh Cyber Insurance

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.

Marsh's cyber risk practice places and advises on cyber insurance brokerage; it does not underwrite the policies it places. ¹²Company-reported. Marsh corporate cyber insurance product page.

Marsh McLennan Agency (MMA), Marsh's middle-market subsidiary, places cyber coverage and acts as a carrier liaison, combining placement with claims advocacy. ¹⁵Company-reported. MMA cyber solutions page.

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.

The reviewed pages do not name a specific cyber insurer for a standard placement. Marsh's Cyber ECHO excess facility lets clients choose underwriting from Lloyd's of London syndicates, company markets or Bermuda-based insurers, so the carrier varies by placement. ¹³Not publicly disclosed. Cyber ECHO facility page, which covers excess layers rather than every primary policy Marsh places.

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.

MMA says any company can benefit from cyber coverage, but prioritizes organizations that store significant customer data, run large customer databases or hold valuable digital assets. ¹⁵Company-reported. MMA cyber solutions FAQ; MMA describes its own client base as middle-market organizations generally.

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.

MMA lists incident investigation and response costs, network interruption/extra expense, extortion and ransomware payments, data restoration, and security and privacy liability as core cyber coverages, with media liability, privacy regulatory defense and reputation-based income loss available as additional coverages. ¹⁵Company-reported. MMA cyber solutions page; actual policy wording and insurer vary by placement.

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.

Marsh says its Cyber ECHO excess facility can provide over $200 million of cyber capacity per client, with a free first reinstatement and a paid second reinstatement for separate cyber events within a policy year. ¹³Company-reported. Cyber ECHO facility page; describes excess capacity Marsh can arrange, not a standard primary limit.

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.

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.
