Key Differences in Cyber Insurance

Where Coverage Draws the Line

Risklytics describes its Cyber Liability product as paying for breach cleanup, notifications and claims following a hack or data leak, and specifically says it does not respond to a model giving bad output with no breach involved.

Risklytics describes Cyber Liability as paying for breach cleanup, legally required notifications, and the claims that follow a hack or data leak, such as a ransomware attack or exfiltrated customer records, and says it does not respond to a model giving bad output with no breach involved. 11Company-reported. Lines page; the issued policy and declarations control actual coverage.

Beazley's sample MediaTech form doesn't address that distinction; it names Breach Response Costs, Cyber Extortion Loss and eCrime as its insuring agreements without an AI-output carve-out one way or the other. 6

Role and Pricing Model

Risklytics Insurance Services describes itself as a licensed producer that places coverage with outside carriers and says there is no broker fee on top of the premium, with commission paid by the carrier either way. 8 Beazley underwrites Full Spectrum Cyber itself for eligible small accounts, and its pricing structure isn't described in fee terms comparable to Risklytics' no-added-fee model. 5

Eligibility

Risklytics says companies typically need this coverage the first time they hold customer data in production, with a particular focus on robotics, autonomy and AI risk. 11 Beazley's eligibility instead turns purely on revenue, capping Full Spectrum Cyber at businesses under $35 million regardless of technical focus. 5

What to Confirm in Cyber Insurance Quotes

  • Ask Risklytics for the specific insurer behind your policy, since its page names none. 11
  • Ask Beazley the same question for Full Spectrum Cyber. 5
  • If your business relies on AI models, ask Risklytics exactly where it draws the line between a covered breach and uncovered bad output. 11
  • Ask Beazley whether your quoted cyber coverage shares its aggregate limit with unrelated MediaTech coverages. 6

CriteriaBeazley Full Spectrum Cyber for Small BusinessesRisklytics Cyber Liability 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.

Risklytics Insurance Services is a licensed insurance producer (NPN 22311838) that places Risklytics Cyber Liability Insurance with outside carriers; it says it does not underwrite policies itself. 8Company-reported. About page; describes Risklytics' brokerage model generally, restated for this line.

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.

Risklytics does not name the carrier that underwrites Risklytics Cyber Liability Insurance on its site. It says it places business with specialist insurers willing to write robotics, autonomy and AI risk; the issuing carrier appears on the bound policy. 11,8Company-reported. Lines page and about page; no specific insurer is published for this line.

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.

Risklytics says companies typically need this coverage the first time they hold customer data in production, and that enterprise and government contracts require it once a vendor touches their data. 11Company-reported. Lines page.

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.

Risklytics describes Cyber Liability as paying for breach cleanup, legally required notifications, and the claims that follow a hack or data leak, such as a ransomware attack or exfiltrated customer records, and says it does not respond to a model giving bad output with no breach involved. 11Company-reported. Lines page; the issued policy and declarations control actual coverage.

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.

Risklytics lists a typical ask of $1 million or more in enterprise contracts for this line. 11Company-reported. Lines page; actual limits are set on the bound policy.

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.

Risklytics calls cyber the easiest line for its clients to get with reasonable security basics in place, and says whether a prompt-injection attack or a model leaking data is covered depends on policy wording it reads before binding. 11Company-reported. Lines 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 Risklytics Cyber Liability Insurance through Risklytics' online application. Risklytics says there is no broker fee on top of the premium and a licensed producer stays on the file until the program binds; its commission is paid by the carrier out of the premium either way. 12,8Company-reported. Pricing page describes the general application and fee process, not a line-specific form.

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.
