Markel Insurance vs Resilience

Markel describes Markel Insurance as the insurance operations within Markel Group Inc., a Virginia holding company. Markel Group's FY2025 filing identifies multiple underwriting subsidiaries. The insurer for a specific policy depends on the product, state and current quote or policy disclosures; Markel Insurance is not one standalone legal insurer. ^1,2Company-reported. U.S. commercial-insurance identity and parent/business relationship; not a product-specific issuer assignment.

Resilience combines cyber and technology E&O insurance with cybersecurity risk-management services for businesses. ^25,27,28Company-reported. Brand-level offering; not a statement that the brand is the risk-bearing insurer.

Confirm who will place the policy in California: Resilience names Ocrea Risk Services, LLC dba Resilience Cyber Insurance Solutions and NPN 19169260 as US distributor, but this disclosure is not independent license verification. ²⁶Company-reported. US distribution entity; regulator license lookup not completed.

Markel's U.S. small-business page lists child care and enrichment, commercial and residential services, sports and fitness, and manufacturing among the segments it describes. Separately, its FY2025 filing describes Markel Insurance's global specialty business as underwriting hard-to-place risks; that wording is not specific to U.S. Wholesale and Specialty. ^8,1Company-reported. Company-stated U.S. small-business examples and separate global business characterization; neither establishes eligibility.

Resilience lists technology E&O for businesses with $25 million–$10 billion revenue in software, AI, hardware, services, data centers and telecom; smaller startups should ask whether an exception is possible. ²⁸Company-reported. Published US primary and excess technology E&O appetite; not a minimum established for every cyber product.

Businesses can ask Resilience about primary or excess cyber limits up to $20 million, including privacy and eCrime; confirm the eCrime sublimit (advertised up to $500,000) and conditions in the quote. ²⁷Company-reported. Marketing description, not reviewed policy wording. eCrime is a component, not evidence of standalone crime insurance.

Software, hardware and technology-services businesses can consider Resilience Tech E&O, which advertises $10 million limits on US primary and excess placements. ²⁸Company-reported. Technology-specific professional liability; not general professional E&O or a guarantee of offered limits.

Markel's FY2025 filing says U.S. Wholesale and Specialty distributes through wholesale and retail channels on admitted and excess-and-surplus bases, including limited small-account binding authority. In 2025, 71% of this division's gross written premium was placed through wholesale brokers, 26% through retail agents and brokers, and the remainder through alternative channels. Certain admitted products and programs are marketed directly to consumers, but that does not establish online purchase or binding for every product. ¹Company-reported. FY2025 Markel Insurance U.S. Wholesale and Specialty distribution; not the whole Markel Insurance business.

For workers' compensation, Markel directs applicants to submit an online application or contact an appointed agent to request a quote; the reviewed page does not establish that purchase and binding are completed online. ⁹Company-reported. Markel U.S. workers' compensation page only; route to request a quote.

Agencies can request a Markel appointment; Markel says appointments are made by affiliated insurer and product, and producers must hold the required state license. This is a producer onboarding route, not an insured's application path. ¹²Company-reported. Commercial agency appointment information; not retail purchase process.

Brokers can access Resilience through its broker page and businesses can submit an inquiry; no end-to-end self-serve purchase or binding-time guarantee was documented. ^29,31Company-reported. Observed public broker/contact route; no application submitted or portal accessed.

Markel describes agent portals for authorized commercial users to quote and bind listed lines and access account history, billing, claims details and policy documents. The page does not establish that every product supports every function. ¹⁰Company-reported. Commercial-agent portals; available functions vary by portal and product.

Markel's U.S. account page lists policy documents, proof-of-insurance downloads, payments and automatic payments for covered business products and directs customers with unlisted products to the agent on the policy. Renewal handling and renewal terms were not established in this review. ¹¹Company-reported. Public portal description; not all products necessarily use the portal.

Resilience’s Edge service helps prioritize security spending by estimated financial impact, while Arc shows cyber risk across entities; these tools are risk-management services, not insurance. ^32,33Company-reported. Current named cybersecurity products; outcomes not independently established.

You can buy insurance without buying Resilience security services; confirm which tools are bundled and which require a separate agreement. ²⁶Company-reported. Company disclaimer; does not establish free services or package pricing.

Ask Resilience for renewal deadlines and service timing because reviewed pages do not specify renewal documents, price commitments or standard turnaround. ^29,27,28Not publicly disclosed. Scoped to current HTML pages; older package materials were not used to promise current renewal terms.
