Key Differences in Cyber Insurance

A Named Insurer vs. a Named Program

Resilience's US disclosure names Homeland Insurance Company of New York or Homeland Insurance Company of Delaware, both part of Intact Insurance Group USA, as underwriters. USI instead places cyber coverage through its own manuscripted program, PrivaSafe, a custom-drafted form it negotiates with the market, without naming the carrier that would ultimately underwrite it.

Resilience's US disclosure states that cyber insurance products are distributed by Ocrea Risk Services, LLC (NPN 19169260), doing business as Resilience Cyber Insurance Solutions, and underwritten by Homeland Insurance Company of New York or Homeland Insurance Company of Delaware, both subsidiaries of Intact Insurance Group USA LLC. The disclosure does not say which of the two Homeland entities issues a given policy. 4Company-reported. US paragraph of Resilience's disclaimer page, accessed 2026-09-23; product- and state-specific issuer mapping is not published.

Comparing Published Limits

Resilience advertises cyber limits up to $20 million on a primary or excess basis, with a $500,000 eCrime sublimit. USI publishes a different set of figures for PrivaSafe: coverage meant to prevent losses up to $10 million, up to $2 million in added notification-cost coverage, and $250,000 in defense-cost coverage outside the limit. 3 9

Who Each Targets

USI markets PrivaSafe to middle-market firms it says have limited in-house access to security expertise. Resilience's US appetite table instead names a broad range of industries, including healthcare, financial institutions, manufacturing, construction, retail and hospitality, without a stated company-size threshold. 9 3

What to Confirm in Cyber Insurance Quotes

  • Ask Resilience which of its two named Homeland entities would issue your specific policy. 4
  • Ask USI which insurer would underwrite your PrivaSafe placement, since its page names none. 9
  • Compare Resilience's $20 million limit and $500,000 eCrime sublimit against USI's $10 million loss-prevention figure and its notification and defense sublimits. 3 9
  • Ask whether Resilience's Risk Operations Center monitoring overlaps with USI's PrivaSafe pre- and post-breach services. 3 9

Offering Details

Resilience vs USI Insurance Services Cyber Insurance: documented features by provider

CriteriaResilience Cyber InsuranceUSI PrivaSafe Cyber and Privacy Liability Program
Role in This Line

Resilience pairs a cyber insurance policy with security services such as threat monitoring and breach-and-attack simulations. In the US, the policy is placed by a distributor rather than underwritten by the Resilience brand itself. 3Company-reported. Cyber Insurance product page description of the combined offering, accessed 2026-09-23.

USI is a broker, not an insurer, for cyber coverage. It places cyber and privacy liability policies for clients and layers on its own manuscripted program, PrivaSafe, rather than underwriting the risk itself. 9,7Company-reported. PrivaSafe program page and USI's property & casualty and technology practice pages.

Issuing Insurer

Resilience's US disclosure states that cyber insurance products are distributed by Ocrea Risk Services, LLC (NPN 19169260), doing business as Resilience Cyber Insurance Solutions, and underwritten by Homeland Insurance Company of New York or Homeland Insurance Company of Delaware, both subsidiaries of Intact Insurance Group USA LLC. The disclosure does not say which of the two Homeland entities issues a given policy. 4Company-reported. US paragraph of Resilience's disclaimer page, accessed 2026-09-23; product- and state-specific issuer mapping is not published.

USI does not name the insurer that issues PrivaSafe or other cyber policies on the pages reviewed. PrivaSafe is described as a manuscripted (custom-drafted) coverage form that USI negotiates with the market, so the carrier varies by placement. 9Not publicly disclosed. PrivaSafe program page as read on 2026-09-23; no dedicated cyber carrier list was found.

Who It’s For

Resilience markets US cyber insurance across industries including healthcare, higher education, financial institutions and services, manufacturing, construction, law firms, professional services, public entities, retail, hospitality, technology, life sciences, medical devices and pharmaceuticals. 3Company-reported. "Broad Market Appetite" availability table for the United States, accessed 2026-09-23; the table does not state a minimum revenue or company-size threshold for cyber (unlike the separate tech E&O appetite range).

USI markets PrivaSafe to middle-market firms, saying they are particularly vulnerable to cyber events because they have limited in-house access to security expertise. The page also says any business that gathers personal or health information, manages a network, or accepts electronic payments is a potential target. 9Company-reported. Program page marketing description, not an underwriting appetite statement.

Coverage Features

Resilience lists privacy wrongful-act coverage, eCrime coverage up to $500,000, coverage for incident costs that exceed the policy limit (such as legal, forensics and crisis communications), and funds-transfer-fraud recovery assistance among its cyber policy features. 3Company-reported. "Policy Coverage" section of the product page; actual insuring agreements, sublimits and exclusions are set by the issued policy.

USI describes PrivaSafe as covering three areas: liability costs (including inability to protect information and related tort liability), compliance and corrective costs (data breach and forensic costs, privacy regulatory costs, payment-card standards), and direct costs (network interruption, data reconstruction, cyber extortion, bricking, voluntary shutdown, reputational harm business interruption, and cyber crime). 9Company-reported. PrivaSafe program page; actual insuring agreements and exclusions are set by the issued policy form.

Limits and Retentions

Resilience advertises cyber limits up to $20 million, available on a primary or excess basis, with a separate eCrime sublimit of up to $500,000. The page does not publish minimum limits, retentions or deductibles. 3Company-reported. "Top-Rated Insurance with Broad Market Appetite" and "Policy Coverage" sections; figures are marketing maximums, not a specific quote.

USI says PrivaSafe can prevent uninsured or underinsured losses up to $10 million, includes up to $2 million in notification-cost coverage in addition to the policy's aggregate limit, and $250,000 in defense-cost coverage outside the limit (with additional limit available). 9Company-reported. Program page figures describe the PrivaSafe structure generally; a buyer's actual limits, sublimits and retentions are set on the policy declarations.

Risk Services

Resilience says policyholders get proactive threat monitoring from its Risk Operations Center and access to breach-and-attack simulations powered by AttackIQ, in addition to the policy itself. 3Company-reported. "The Resilience Advantage" section of the cyber product page.

USI says PrivaSafe includes pre-breach services to help avoid cyber threats and post-breach services designed to streamline incident response and recovery, on top of USI's general property & casualty cyber specialists. 9,10Company-reported. Program page and property-casualty practice team description.

How to Apply

The reviewed cyber product page does not describe a self-service online application or quoting process; it routes visitors to request a quote or watch a product overview rather than showing an application flow. 3Not publicly disclosed. Cyber Insurance product page, accessed 2026-09-23.

To review cyber exposure with USI, the program page says a buyer should be ready to provide current cyber policies (if any), an assessment of its largest financial and operational cyber vulnerabilities, and its most recent audited financials. 9Company-reported. PrivaSafe program page intake description.

Claims Support

Resilience describes a fully in-house claims and incident-response team available 24/7, with a dedicated claims manager who stays with the policyholder from initial triage through settlement, backed by an outside panel of privacy-law, forensics and crisis-communications specialists. 5Company-reported. Claims & Incident Response page, accessed 2026-09-23; response-time and outcome statistics on that page are company-reported and not independently verified.
