Key Differences in Cyber Insurance

How Detailed Each Coverage Description Is

Chubb lists specific first-party, third-party and crime-by-endorsement coverages for Cyber Enterprise Risk Management, plus named innovative endorsements for systemic and ransomware events. 3 Harper's homepage instead summarizes cyber insurance in one sentence — covering the cleanup if systems or card payments get hacked — with more detail limited to its eCommerce industry page.

Harper's homepage summarizes cyber insurance as coverage for the cleanup if a business's systems or card payments get hacked. 8Company-reported. Homepage 'What we cover' blurb; the issued policy and declarations would control actual insuring agreements and exclusions.

Who Each Product Targets

Chubb prices Cyber Enterprise Risk Management for organizations of any size, with no minimum premium and scalable quoting up to $1 billion-plus in revenue. 3 Harper instead positions cyber coverage around online retailers, dropshippers and direct-to-consumer brands on its eCommerce page, while offering cyber more generally through a homepage checkbox. 7

Who Names the Insurer

Chubb's reviewed pages describe Chubb as the carrier without naming the specific underwriting entity. 4 Harper's homepage shows only an unlabeled panel of insurer logos without naming a cyber-specific carrier. 8

What to Confirm in Cyber Insurance Quotes

  • Ask Harper for the specific insurer behind your quote and whether it differs from the general panel shown on its homepage. 8
  • Ask Chubb to name the specific underwriting entity and confirm which endorsements apply to your account. 3
  • Request published limits and retentions from both; neither the Chubb nor the Harper pages disclose standard figures. 3 8
  • Ask whether Harper's cyber coverage is claims-made or occurrence-based, since the reviewed pages do not state a trigger. 7
