Resilience vs
USI Insurance Services
Why Resilience’s cyber and technology E&O insurance is a specialty product, not a replacement for USI’s full brokerage program.
Introduction
Resilience is a focused cyber and technology errors-and-omissions offering sold through brokers. USI is a multi-line broker that might submit to Resilience, to PrivaSafe, or to another market—or might not; that is a proposal question. Buying Resilience does not fill workers’ compensation, auto, or medical benefits, because Resilience’s published US offering is cyber and technology errors and omissions. Appointing USI does not, by itself, put you on Homeland paper. 1 19

Key Differences Between Resilience and USI
Product Company Versus Intermediary
The US distributor is Ocrea/Resilience Cyber Insurance Solutions, not USI. Resilience’s cited disclaimer does not establish a California placement route. USI’s California product eligibility is likewise unresolved on practice pages. Ask both in the same request for proposal. 2 32
Who Fits the Appetite
Resilience’s published US technology errors-and-omissions appetite starts at $25 million of revenue. A company under that floor is outside that published band, even though USI’s Technology practice mentions early seed. Do not treat USI’s seed language as Resilience eligibility. 4 20
Coverage Width
Resilience advertises cyber limits up to $20 million and technology errors and omissions up to $10 million in US primary and excess descriptions. Those are product-page figures, not your quote. USI’s Technology list includes property, cargo, directors and officers, and international placement language. Resilience’s published offering is cyber and technology errors and omissions, not that full brokerage menu. 3 20
How You Buy
Resilience is presented through brokers. Whether USI is that broker is a proposal question. Starting at Resilience’s contact form still leaves general liability and workers’ compensation to place if those lines are required. 5 19
Security Tools Versus PATH
Resilience says insurance is not tied to buying Edge or Arc. USI PATH is a risk-control platform across lines. Itemize what is included in premium. 8 28
What to Confirm in Quotes
- Revenue eligibility against Resilience’s published $25 million–$10 billion tech E&O band. 4
- Whether USI will market Resilience, PrivaSafe, or both, with Homeland versus other issuer names. 10 25
- Separate placement of workers’ compensation, property, directors and officers, and benefits. 24
- Claims: Resilience’s 24/7 in-house description versus USI routing cyber to its claims consultant. 6 29
Service Comparison
Resilience vs USI: documented services and availability
| Criteria | Resilience | USI Insurance Services |
|---|---|---|
| Business role | Resilience combines cyber insurance and technology errors and omissions insurance with cybersecurity risk-management services. 1,3,4 Resilience identifies Ocrea Risk Services, LLC, doing business as Resilience Cyber Insurance Solutions, as its US insurance distributor and lists NPN 19169260. This company disclosure is not independent verification of a California license. 2 | USI describes itself as a U.S. insurance brokerage and consulting firm that arranges property and casualty, employee benefits, personal risk, program, and retirement solutions. The reviewed official pages do not identify USI as the insurer that issues commercial policies. 12,11,18,31 USI’s commissions page states that, as a licensed insurance producer, it may advise on insurance contracts, sell insurance, and obtain coverages for clients. Privacy and staff materials identify the operating company as USI Insurance Services LLC. Current California producer-license status remains independently unverified. 18,17,32 On 31 August 2026, Aon plc announced a definitive agreement to acquire USI from KKR and other shareholders for a $17.0 billion purchase price, with closing expected in the fourth quarter of 2026 subject to customary conditions including regulatory approvals. Aon stated that Aon and USI will continue to operate independently until the closing date. The reviewed announcement does not establish that the transaction has closed. 31 |
| Customer focus | Resilience lists US technology E&O appetite of $25 million–$10 billion in revenue, including software, AI, hardware, technology services, data centers and telecommunications. Smaller startups should ask whether an exception is available. 4 | USI says it has served over 500,000 clients nationwide and positions itself as a middle-market brokerage and consulting firm. Its Technology practice describes clients including software, hardware, networking, semiconductors, or communications companies from early seed stage through IPO. Public pages do not publish a minimum revenue, headcount, or California-startup eligibility screen. 12,20,31 |
| Coverage lines | Resilience advertises cyber coverage on primary and excess placements, with limits up to $20 million. Its product page describes privacy wrongful acts and eCrime, with eCrime limits up to $500,000; the quote must confirm applicable sublimits and conditions. 3 Resilience markets technology E&O for liability arising from technology businesses and advertises $10 million limits for US primary and excess placements. 4 | USI’s Technology practice lists insurance placement for property; business income and contingent business income; worldwide cargo and stock; errors and omissions; product liability; directors and officers liability; network security / USI PrivaSafe; and international. Those labels describe brokerage services. Limits, exclusions, insurer, and whether a given startup qualifies remain in a quote and policy. 20,25 USI’s commercial property and casualty pages describe advice and placement on workers’ compensation, property, general liability, auto liability, umbrella/excess, executive and professional risks, cyber, environmental, product liability, and related claims and risk-control services. Other industry pages add employment practices, crime, fiduciary, professional E&O, kidnap and ransom, representations and warranties, medical professional (malpractice) liability, and required bonding in the healthcare practice. Availability and wording vary by client, insurer, and jurisdiction. 19,21,22,23,27 USI’s employee-benefits practice describes consulting to design, price, and administer employer benefit programs, including underwriting analytics, HR administration support, population health, compliance/healthcare reform guidance, pharmacy and ancillary consulting. The private-equity practice separately lists employee health and welfare insurance services after a transaction. These pages describe consulting and placement services, not a specific insured health plan or carrier. 24,22 |
| Application process | Resilience presents insurance to brokers through a dedicated broker page and offers a public contact route for product inquiries. The reviewed pages do not document an end-to-end self-service purchase or a guaranteed quote or binding time. 5,7 | USI does not publish a self-serve commercial quote flow on the reviewed pages. Technology and P&C inquiries are directed to pcinquiries@usi.com or a local office. The contact page includes a website message box that USI warns is not secured in transit and should not be used for sensitive information. Small- and medium-sized management-liability inquiries are also directed to Select.Business@usi.com. No public binding timetable or online eligibility tool was found. 20,19,15,27 |
| Servicing and renewals | Resilience markets Edge for prioritizing security spending by estimated financial impact, and Arc for viewing cyber risk across multiple entities. These are risk-management services, not additional insurance coverage lines. 8,9 Resilience states that buying insurance is not tied to buying security services. Confirm which services are included in the proposed package and which require a separate agreement. 2 The current broker and product pages reviewed do not specify renewal documentation, a renewal price commitment or a standard servicing turnaround. 5,3,4 | USI describes USI ONE as a proprietary consultative process that combines Omni analytics, a national network of specialists, and an enterprise planning process. Technology and P&C pages say clients receive tailored recommendations aimed at total cost of risk. Those are company descriptions of advisory method, not independently verified service outcomes. 13,20,19 USI PATH is described as a proprietary risk-control platform that presents industry loss drivers, improvement areas by coverage line, and curated vendor solutions with preferred pricing and ROI projections. The homepage also markets PATH as guiding clients through risk control from identifying sources of loss to targeting solutions. Performance, ROI, and premium-reduction claims on those pages are company-reported. 28,11 |
