CFC vs Marsh Tech E&O Insurance

CFC's Technology product is a single package policy for technology companies that bundles errors & omissions liability, breach-of-contract cover, IP infringement and media liability, and cyber cover. ^2,3Company-reported. Technology product page and US product brochure; the policy as issued controls the exact scope for any one customer.

Marsh treats technology errors and omissions (tech E&O) as one of its financial and professional liability specialties, with dedicated attention to the technology industry, and separately names it as a building block within its data-center insurance programs. ^11,10Company-reported. Marsh professional liability page and data-center insurance page.

The Technology application form names only CFC Underwriting Limited, a UK entity authorized and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, as the party administering the form. Neither the Technology product page nor the application discloses which specific insurer or Lloyd's syndicate capacity backs a given US Technology policy. ^5,4Not publicly disclosed. Technology application footer and the regulatory information page, both checked on 2026-09-23; CFC's US arm, CFC USA Inc., separately holds admitted producer licenses and E&S authorization in NY, TX, GA and CA, but that page does not tie a specific license to the Technology product.

The reviewed pages do not name a specific technology E&O insurer. ^11,10Not publicly disclosed. Marsh professional liability and data-center insurance pages as read on 2026-09-23.

CFC says the Technology product is suitable for start-ups, mid-size and multinational tech companies, without publishing a specific revenue or headcount cutoff on the product page. ²Company-reported. Technology product page introduction; actual eligibility for a given applicant depends on underwriting review of the application.

Marsh names technology among the specialized industries its professional liability (E&O) experts serve, alongside banking, insurance and asset management, media and healthcare. ¹¹Company-reported. Marsh professional liability page, What We Offer section.

CFC describes coverage for financial loss, bodily injury or property damage arising from a technology company's products and services, plus legal liability for breach of client contracts and IP infringement claims such as copyright and trademark disputes. ³Company-reported. Product brochure feature descriptions; exclusions and conditions are set by the policy wording, which was not reviewed.

The cyber portion of the policy includes network and privacy liability, business interruption, data rectification and recreation costs, extortion cover, and social engineering coverage, sitting inside the same Technology package rather than as a separate purchase. ³Company-reported. Product brochure 'Comprehensive cyber cover' section.

Marsh says off-the-shelf technology E&O policies were not built for the scale and concentration of modern data centers and can leave gaps. It designs data center programs that combine technology E&O with property, casualty and other lines. ¹⁰Company-reported. Data center insurance page, Closing the gaps in conventional coverage section; describes a gap in standard tech E&O for one customer segment (data centers), not the general product.

CFC publishes a maximum errors & omissions/media/cyber limit of $10,000,000 and a maximum commercial general liability limit of $6,000,000 for this product, with a minimum deductible of $0. ³Company-reported.
