Key Differences in Cyber Insurance

Bespoke Negotiation vs. Fixed Product

Newfront says its dedicated cyber specialists advise on security-improvement opportunities and that its Tech E&O and Cyber team negotiates bespoke policy language for each client.

Newfront says dedicated cyber security specialists advise on security-improvement opportunities and current cybersecurity practices against phishing, ransomware and DDoS threats, and that its Tech E&O and Cyber team negotiates bespoke policy language. 12Company-reported. Subject Matter Expertise section of the cyber page.

Beazley instead sells a fixed small-business product: Full Spectrum Cyber applies set eligibility (accounts under $35 million in revenue, limits up to $5 million) and its sample MediaTech form names standard insuring agreements — Breach Response Costs, Cyber Extortion Loss, eCrime — rather than case-by-case negotiated wording. 5 6

Role and Insurer Disclosure

Newfront's Cyber Risk practice assesses risk, negotiates coverage and placement, and provides claims consultation, without underwriting the policy or naming the insurer it places business with. 12 Beazley's Full Spectrum Cyber page similarly discloses no insurer, though its separate MediaTech application form names Beazley Insurance Company, Inc. 5

Coverage List and How You Buy

Newfront's Key Coverages list cyber liability, data breach, technology E&O, business interruption, network security liability, and cyber extortion and ransomware coverage together under one practice, started through a consultation with its named practice head. 12 Beazley likewise reaches buyers through a broker, but on its own myBeazley platform rather than a direct consultation request. 5

What to Confirm in Cyber Insurance Quotes

  • Ask Newfront which insurer it's actually negotiating your bespoke terms with, since its page names none. 12
  • Ask Beazley which entity would issue your Full Spectrum Cyber policy, since its page doesn't say. 5
  • Get specific limits from Newfront, since its page describes proprietary modeling rather than published figures. 12
  • Ask Beazley whether your cyber sublimit is dedicated or shared across the MediaTech aggregate. 6

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.

Newfront's Cyber Risk practice brokers cyber coverage: it assesses risk, negotiates coverage and placement, and provides claims consultation. It does not underwrite the policy itself. 12Company-reported. Cyber Risk offering page.

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.

The reviewed Cyber Risk page does not name the insurer or insurers that would issue a cyber policy placed through Newfront. 12Not publicly disclosed. Cyber Risk page as read on 2026-09-23; carrier depends on the specific placement.

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.

The Cyber Risk page does not state a company-size or industry eligibility threshold; it speaks generally about clients facing "evolving cyber risk and increased underwriting standards." 12Not publicly disclosed. Our Approach section; general framing, not a stated eligibility rule.

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.

Newfront lists Cyber Liability Insurance, Data Breach Insurance, Technology Errors and Omissions (E&O), Business Interruption, Network Security Liability, and Cyber Extortion and Ransomware Coverage among its cyber Key Coverages. 12Company-reported. Cyber Risk page Key Coverages list; the page treats technology E&O as part of the same practice.

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.

Newfront's cyber page does not publish limits or retentions. It says its technology team provides proprietary modeling data to inform decisions on limits aligned with a client's risk exposure and tolerance. 12Company-reported. Subject Matter Expertise section; describes an internal modeling service, not published limit figures.

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.

Newfront says dedicated cyber security specialists advise on security-improvement opportunities and current cybersecurity practices against phishing, ransomware and DDoS threats, and that its Tech E&O and Cyber team negotiates bespoke policy language. 12Company-reported. Subject Matter Expertise section of the cyber page.

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 start a cyber placement by requesting a consultation through Newfront's Cyber Risk page, which is led by Jennifer Wilson, Head of the Cyber Practice. 12Company-reported. Cyber Risk page call-to-action and Leadership section; no online quoting or binding described.

Claims Support

Beazley describes its Beazley Breach Response service as mobilizing a coordinated response after a cyber incident, including forensics specialists, legal counsel, notification services and call centers, credit monitoring and public-relations support. 5Company-reported. Full Spectrum Cyber product page Beazley Breach Response Services section; service quality and turnaround are Beazley's own description and not independently verified.

Newfront says it provides "hands-on" claims consultation for cyber breaches, including pre- and post-loss advocacy and resolution consultation to prepare clients on breach-response protocol before a claim. 12Company-reported. Claims Consultation section of the cyber page; a described service, not a claims-outcome statistic.
