Key Differences in Tech E&O Insurance

Specialty sectors and contract review

RiskCube targets AI/ML, fintech, govtech, defense, space and Web3 businesses whose systems may create customer financial loss or contract disputes. It asks about SLAs, indemnities, prior claims and known incidents, and says it can check waiver-of-subrogation language and layer excess coverage for AI-related gaps. CNA describes Technology E&O for technology businesses and contractual requirements. A buyer with model or enterprise-contract exposure should ask both how those clauses affect underwriting and whether AI terms are explicit. 4 8

Coverage descriptions and policy structure

RiskCube describes Tech E&O for software errors, missed SLAs, client losses and data loss, plus defense costs, while listing exclusions such as known incidents and IP infringement. CNA identifies contractual support and privacy/data-protection services but does not give equivalent wording detail in the reviewed record. The comparison therefore depends on actual terms: ask CNA for its exclusions and RiskCube for the exact carrier form, including whether its proposed excess layer follows the primary policy. 4 8
