Harper vs Marsh Cyber Insurance

For cyber insurance, Harper describes calling the insurance companies that write the coverage for a business and presenting the resulting options to choose from, rather than issuing a cyber policy itself. ⁴Company-reported. Homepage 'What we cover' introduction and coverage list, where cyber is one of the enumerated lines.

Marsh's cyber risk practice places and advises on cyber insurance brokerage; it does not underwrite the policies it places. ⁹Company-reported. Marsh corporate cyber insurance product page.

Marsh McLennan Agency (MMA), Marsh's middle-market subsidiary, places cyber coverage and acts as a carrier liaison, combining placement with claims advocacy. ¹²Company-reported. MMA cyber solutions page.

Harper's public pages do not name the insurer or insurers that would underwrite a cyber policy; the homepage shows an unlabeled panel of insurer logos it says it works with, without listing carriers for cyber specifically. ⁴Not publicly disclosed. Checked the homepage insurer-logo panel and eCommerce industry page on 2026-09-23.

The reviewed pages do not name a specific cyber insurer for a standard placement. Marsh's Cyber ECHO excess facility lets clients choose underwriting from Lloyd's of London syndicates, company markets or Bermuda-based insurers, so the carrier varies by placement. ¹⁰Not publicly disclosed. Cyber ECHO facility page, which covers excess layers rather than every primary policy Marsh places.

Harper positions cyber coverage as relevant to online retailers, dropshipping businesses, marketplace sellers and private-label or direct-to-consumer brands on its eCommerce industry page, while also listing cyber as a general coverage option for any business on the homepage intake. ^3,4Company-reported. eCommerce industry page 'Who this is for' section combined with the homepage's general cyber checkbox; no cyber-specific eligibility criteria (such as revenue thresholds) were found.

MMA says any company can benefit from cyber coverage, but prioritizes organizations that store significant customer data, run large customer databases or hold valuable digital assets. ¹²Company-reported. MMA cyber solutions FAQ; MMA describes its own client base as middle-market organizations generally.

Harper's homepage summarizes cyber insurance as coverage for the cleanup if a business's systems or card payments get hacked. ⁴Company-reported. Homepage 'What we cover' blurb; the issued policy and declarations would control actual insuring agreements and exclusions.

On its eCommerce industry page, Harper describes cyber protection as covering data breaches, payment fraud, hacking incidents and exposure of customer information, and its FAQ adds that cyber liability coverage may apply to customer notification costs, credit monitoring and certain regulatory expenses. ³Company-reported. eCommerce industry page; this description is given in the context of online retailers, dropshippers, marketplace sellers and DTC brands, and may not describe cyber coverage the same way for other industries.

MMA lists incident investigation and response costs, network interruption/extra expense, extortion and ransomware payments, data restoration, and security and privacy liability as core cyber coverages, with media liability, privacy regulatory defense and reputation-based income loss available as additional coverages. ¹²Company-reported. MMA cyber solutions page; actual policy wording and insurer vary by placement.

The reviewed pages do not publish cyber policy limits, retentions or a claims-made versus occurrence trigger; the eCommerce page's cost FAQ discusses eCommerce insurance overall rather than cyber coverage alone, so it is not used as a cyber-specific figure here. ^4,3Not publicly disclosed. Checked the homepage and eCommerce industry page on 2026-09-23.

Marsh says its Cyber ECHO excess facility can provide over $200 million of cyber capacity per client, with a free first reinstatement and a paid second reinstatement for separate cyber events within a policy year. ¹⁰Company-reported.
