Coalition vs Embroker Tech E&O Insurance

Coalition designs and distributes Tech E&O as a coverage that combines with its own cyber policy, sold through appointed brokers rather than direct to buyers. ¹Company-reported. Tech E&O product page as read on 2026-09-23.

Embroker sells Tech E&O/Cyber as a single blended policy directly to technology companies and also distributes it through appointed brokers via its Embroker Access broker portal. ^10,11Company-reported. Retail and broker-facing page descriptions; not a statement about the issuing insurer.

Coalition's disclaimer page lists Non-Admitted Cyber, Admitted Cyber, and Admitted Executive Risk sections naming specific carriers, but has no equivalent 'Admitted Tech E&O' section, indicating Tech E&O is placed on a non-admitted (surplus lines) basis with unaffiliated insurers that the disclaimer does not name. ⁵Not publicly disclosed. U.S. Disclaimers page as read on 2026-09-23; the buyer's declarations page names the actual issuing insurer for a given policy.

Not described in the reviewed sources.

Coalition markets Tech E&O to any organization that provides a technology product or service in exchange for a fee, citing exposures such as software downtime and failures in technology services or products. ¹Company-reported. Tech E&O product page as read on 2026-09-23.

Embroker's broker program targets private, for-profit technology companies (including fintech, AI, digital health, HR tech and SaaS) with under $300 million in revenue, requires multifactor authentication for accounts above $5 million in revenue, and excludes businesses involved in crypto, blockchain or cannabis. ¹¹Company-reported. Broker Access appetite page; not a guarantee of eligibility for a particular business, and may differ from retail underwriting appetite.

Coalition says Tech E&O covers third-party financial losses from errors, omissions, or negligence in technology products or services, listing example causes including software bugs, delivery delays, IP claims over licensed code, IT-service implementation errors, and failure to meet contract requirements. ¹Company-reported. Tech E&O product page as read on 2026-09-23; the issued policy and endorsements control actual coverage.

Embroker lists coverage for cyber liability (data breaches, cyber theft, cyber vandalism), professional negligence from product or tech errors, software or hardware defects, breach of contract, and losses from a delayed product launch. ¹⁰Company-reported. Retail product-page What's covered section; the issued policy and declarations control.

Embroker's retail page says the policy excludes criminal activity, financial insolvency, copyright infringement or libel claims, and intellectual property infringement, while its broker program advertises software code infringement coverage as an included feature. ^10,11Conflicting sources. Retail What's not included section versus the broker program's Additional features list; the public descriptions do not reconcile this difference, so confirm the proposed form's exact IP-related coverage on a quote.

Not described in the reviewed sources.

Embroker's broker program advertises limits up to $5 million for most insuring agreements, with sub-limits of $1 million for reputational harm and telecommunications fraud, and $500,000 for social engineering, funds transfer fraud and bricking (which includes a $100,000 betterment sub-limit). ¹¹Company-reported. Broker Access Coverage Highlights; retail underwriting limits were not separately disclosed on the reviewed retail page.

Embroker offers excess Tech E&O/Cyber coverage above a primary policy, but its excess product cannot sit above an Embroker primary policy — buyers need an underlying Tech E&O or Tech E&O + Cyber policy from a different carrier before applying for excess. ¹⁰Company-reported. Retail 'What is excess Tech E&O / Cyber Insurance?' and 'How to apply' sections; a related excess-specific offering exists for management-liability but is treated separately here.

Coalition says Tech E&O policyholders get access to Coalition Control at no extra cost, including attack-surface monitoring, vendor-risk monitoring, and zero-day alerts, the same platform provided to cyber policyholders. ^1,6Company-reported. Tech E&O and Coalition Control pages as read on 2026-09-23.

Not described in the reviewed sources.

Coalition markets Tech E&O only combined with Active Cyber Insurance, not as a stand-alone policy, and directs interested buyers to schedule a consultation or work through an appointed broker. ¹Company-reported. Tech E&O product page as read on 2026-09-23.

Embroker offers a direct online quote through its digital platform, and separately appoints brokers through Embroker Access to place the same coverage for their clients. ^10,11Company-reported. Retail 'Quick quotes' feature and broker-portal 'Get Appointed' call to action; no quote or appointment was requested during this research.

Coalition says the same in-house claims team handles both Tech E&O and cyber claims in one place, which it describes as a faster, more integrated resolution process. ¹Company-reported. Tech E&O product page as read on 2026-09-23; speed and efficiency descriptions are company-reported and not independently verified.
