Newfront lists Technology Errors and Omissions (E&O) as one of the named coverages its Cyber Risk practice places, alongside cyber liability, data breach, business interruption, network security liability and cyber extortion coverage.

The reviewed page does not name an insurer for technology E&O placements; as a broker, Newfront's carrier for this line would depend on the placement. ¹¹Not found in reviewed sources. Checked the Cyber Risk page for a named tech E&O carrier; none was found.

The Professional First overview identifies IT training, IT staffing, internet service providers, software design and development, and system integration as Technology Services E&O target customers. ⁵Company-reported. Target classes in the U.S. overview dated 2026-06-03-A; does not make technology consulting, telecommunications consulting or managed-service-provider risks ordinary targets.

The same overview separates technology consulting, telecommunications consulting services and managed service providers as select customers. ⁵Company-reported. U.S. selection qualification applies; no general eligibility inference.

The reviewed page markets the Cyber Risk practice broadly, without a technology-E&O-specific eligibility threshold; Newfront says its cyber team helps clients navigate "increased underwriting standards" as carriers evaluate applicants. ¹¹Company-reported. Cyber Risk page's Our Approach introduction.

BHSI’s U.S. Professional First overview names Technology E&O as a distinct product offering. ⁵Company-reported. Named U.S. product in dated overview; terms, form and current transaction availability are not provided by the catalogue listing.

Newfront names its "Tech E&O and Cyber team" specifically and says that team "negotiates bespoke language to ensure the broadest terms available in the marketplace," indicating technology E&O is negotiated alongside cyber wording rather than sold as an off-the-shelf form; the reviewed page does not describe specific tech E&O exclusions or professional-services scope. ¹¹Company-reported. Cyber Risk page's Subject Matter Expertise section.

Newfront says its technology team provides "proprietary modeling data to make informed decisions on limits that align with your risk exposure and tolerance," but the reviewed page does not publish specific limit ranges, retentions or premium figures for technology E&O. ¹¹Not publicly disclosed. Cyber Risk page's Subject Matter Expertise section; limit amounts are quote-specific.

The Professional First overview describes an in-house claims group integrated with underwriting and streamlined claim reporting for its professional-line portfolio. ⁵Company-reported. Portfolio-level company-reported service, not technology-specific outcomes or an individual-policy claim promise.

Newfront says it delivers risk assessment on cyber infrastructure and policy design, negotiates coverage and placement once a client is aligned with regulatory and carrier requirements, and provides "hands-on" claims consultation before and after a breach or claim, applied to the cyber-and-tech-E&O tower it services together. ¹¹Company-reported. Cyber Risk page's Our Approach section; describes the cyber practice generally, applied to tech E&O as a listed coverage within it.

Confirm in your quote.

You engage Newfront's Cyber Risk practice for technology E&O placement by requesting a consultation, which asks for your industry, company details and the service you need rather than issuing an instant quote. ¹²Company-reported. General consultation intake, not a technology-E&O-specific application path.
