Beazley vs Vouch Professional Liability (E&O) Insurance

Beazley sells professional errors and omissions coverage bundled inside MediaTech, a single small-business form that also includes technology E&O, media liability and cyber coverage. It is not sold as a standalone professional-liability policy for this segment. ¹Company-reported. US small-business MediaTech product page; does not address any larger-account professional liability program Beazley may write separately.

Vouch is a broker, not an insurer, for professional errors & omissions coverage. It lists Errors & Omissions among the core coverages it places for professional-services clients, and one of its named program partners, Corix, has a dedicated E&O product. ^11,12Company-reported. Vouch's Professional Services page and Corix's cyber/E&O product page.

Beazley's posted Digital MediaTech Application names Beazley Insurance Company, Inc. as the insurer on its cover page. The actual issuing entity for a given policy is confirmed on the quote and declarations, not the blank application. ⁵Company-reported. Application form F00859, 042022 edition; not a regulator record and not evidence of the entity for every state or route.

Corix's disclosures say its proprietary products, including its E&O line, are issued by State National Insurance Company or United Specialty Insurance Company. That names an insurer for Corix-branded E&O products specifically, not for every Vouch professional-liability placement. ¹³Company-reported. Corix disclosures page.

Vouch markets professional E&O to accounting and finance, architecture/engineering/construction, IT consulting, management consulting, and marketing and creative agency firms. ¹¹Company-reported. Vouch's Professional Services page; not an underwriting appetite guarantee for any specific applicant.

The sample MediaTech form covers a Tech & Professional Services Wrongful Act: a negligent act, error, omission, misstatement or unintentional breach of contract in rendering Professional Services, defined as services performed for others for a fee. ⁶Company-reported. Sample policy form F00731, 022019 edition, insuring agreements and definitions; the issued policy's wording and any endorsements control.

The sample form's definition of Professional Services excludes services performed as an accountant, architect, surveyor, health care provider, lawyer, insurance or real estate agent or broker, or civil or structural engineer, so those licensed professions are not covered by this professional E&O trigger. ⁶Company-reported. Sample policy form F00731, 022019 edition, Professional Services definition; a business in one of these excluded professions would need different coverage even if it buys MediaTech.

Corix describes E&O as protecting a business against claims of negligence, mistakes or inadequate work that cause a client financial loss in the provision of professional services, including legal defense costs and any damages awarded, even when the claim is ultimately groundless. ¹²Company-reported. Corix's cyber and E&O product page; actual insuring agreements and exclusions are set by the issued policy.

Coverage is claims-made and reported: it responds only to claims first made and reported during the policy period (or a purchased Optional Extension Period), and defense costs reduce the available limit. A buyer can purchase an Optional Extension Period (a tail) for additional premium after non-renewal or cancellation. ^6,5Company-reported. Sample policy form F00731; application form repeats the same notice; specific tail pricing and duration are set in the declarations, not disclosed publicly.

Unless the declarations list a separate amount, each insuring agreement in the sample form (including the professional-liability trigger) shares the same Policy Aggregate Limit of Liability with the policy's media and cyber coverages rather than carrying its own dedicated 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.

Neither the Vouch nor Corix pages publish E&O policy limits or retentions. ^11,12Not publicly disclosed. Pages checked on 2026-09-23.

Beazley's MediaTech application asks applicants to describe the professional and technology services they perform, disclose employee count and multi-year US and non-US revenue, and state whether written client contracts include scope-of-work, damages-cap and consequential-damages-disclaimer provisions. ⁵Company-reported. Application form F00859, 042022 edition, General Information, Revenue Information and Contractual Controls sections; a completed application does not establish acceptance.

Corix's E&O product page offers a downloadable application and directs brokers to start an appointment process; Vouch's own site routes prospective buyers to its online "Get Started" application flow. ^12,11Company-reported. Corix product page and Vouch site navigation.

Beazley says its cyber and tech claims team, including experienced litigators, has handled thousands of E&O claims, which it describes as including implementation errors alongside software failures and IP disputes. ¹Company-reported. MediaTech product page claims paragraph; outcome and volume figures are Beazley's own description and not independently verified.
