Newfront vs The Hartford Tech E&O Insurance

Newfront lists Technology Errors and Omissions (E&O) as one of the named coverages its Cyber Risk practice places, alongside cyber liability, data breach, business interruption, network security liability and cyber extortion coverage. Newfront brokers this coverage; it does not underwrite it. ⁵Company-reported. Cyber Risk page's Key Coverages list.

The Hartford's FailSafe Technology Liability Product Suite is its technology errors and omissions (E&O) product, aimed at technology companies whose products or services can cause a customer's pure financial loss that traditional liability policies usually don't cover. ¹⁰Company-reported. Technology E&O product page as read 2026-09-23.

The reviewed page does not name an insurer for technology E&O placements; as a broker, Newfront's carrier for this line would depend on the placement. ⁵Not found in reviewed sources. Checked the Cyber Risk page for a named tech E&O carrier; none was found.

Not described in the reviewed sources.

The reviewed page markets the Cyber Risk practice broadly, without a technology-E&O-specific eligibility threshold; Newfront says its cyber team helps clients navigate "increased underwriting standards" as carriers evaluate applicants. ⁵Company-reported. Cyber Risk page's Our Approach introduction.

The Hartford names buyer types for Tech E&O: software and IT specialists (custom/packaged software developers, website designers, computer consultants, systems integrators, federal IT contractors), hardware and electronics manufacturers, and telecommunications providers (local/long-distance carriers, internet/application service providers, website hosting). ¹⁰Company-reported. Technology E&O product page as read 2026-09-23.

Newfront names its "Tech E&O and Cyber team" specifically and says that team "negotiates bespoke language to ensure the broadest terms available in the marketplace," indicating technology E&O is negotiated alongside cyber wording rather than sold as an off-the-shelf form; the reviewed page does not describe specific tech E&O exclusions or professional-services scope. ⁵Company-reported. Cyber Risk page's Subject Matter Expertise section.

The Hartford lists FailSafe Technology E&O coverage features: errors and omissions liability, security liability, data privacy and network security liability, personal injury liability, intellectual property liability, and media liability. It distinguishes this from its separate cyber liability coverage, which addresses cyberattacks and data leaks specifically rather than broader product/service failures. ¹⁰Company-reported. Technology E&O product page as read 2026-09-23. General coverage description; the issued policy controls.

Newfront says its technology team provides "proprietary modeling data to make informed decisions on limits that align with your risk exposure and tolerance," but the reviewed page does not publish specific limit ranges, retentions or premium figures for technology E&O. ⁵Not publicly disclosed. Cyber Risk page's Subject Matter Expertise section; limit amounts are quote-specific.

The Hartford says E&O coverage for technology businesses typically costs about $500 to $1,000 per year per employee; the page does not publish standard coverage limits, which depend on location, employee count, coverage limits chosen and lawsuit history. ¹⁰Company-reported. Company-reported cost range as of 2026-09-23 (page last updated by The Hartford September 19, 2024); not a coverage limit.

Newfront says it delivers risk assessment on cyber infrastructure and policy design, negotiates coverage and placement once a client is aligned with regulatory and carrier requirements, and provides "hands-on" claims consultation before and after a breach or claim, applied to the cyber-and-tech-E&O tower it services together. ⁵Company-reported. Cyber Risk page's Our Approach section; describes the cyber practice generally, applied to tech E&O as a listed coverage within it.

Not described in the reviewed sources.

You engage Newfront's Cyber Risk practice for technology E&O placement by requesting a consultation, which asks for your industry, company details and the service you need rather than issuing an instant quote. ⁶Company-reported. General consultation intake, not a technology-E&O-specific application path.
