Key Differences in Tech E&O Insurance

Integrated cyber policy or modular combinations

Chubb underwrites DigiTech ERM as one policy combining Tech E&O with media and cyber, while CNA describes Epack 3 and EPS Plus as modular combinations for technology or professional-service buyers. Chubb names an integrated policy; CNA describes selectable modules. If you want cyber and professional liability together, ask which CNA pieces are selected and compare their combined schedule with DigiTech ERM’s declarations. 3 8

Technology product and service allegations

Chubb says DigiTech ERM adds third-party financial injury from technology products or services, software copyright infringement, product-recall loss of use and no delay-or-failure-to-deliver exclusion. CNA says Technology E&O addresses contractual requirements and seeks to reduce gaps, without comparable specific grants in the reviewed claims. Those differences matter where contracts promise delivery or products can fail. Ask for each policy’s wording on delay, software IP and product recall rather than relying on program descriptions. 3 8
