TechInsurance vs The Hartford Cyber Insurance

TechInsurance arranges cyber liability insurance as a standalone policy and describes it as often bundled with technology errors and omissions coverage in a combined tech E&O package. ³Company-reported. Cyber liability product page.

The Hartford sells cyber coverage three ways depending on complexity: as an endorsement (Data Breach and Cyber Virus and Malware) added to a Business Owner's Policy, as stand-alone CyberChoice First Response for non-technology businesses with more complex risk, or as FailSafe Technology Errors and Omissions for technology businesses. ⁸Company-reported. Cyber insurance product page as read 2026-09-23.

The reviewed cyber liability page does not name the issuing insurer for a cyber policy; TechInsurance says it collects an application and returns quotes from multiple carriers rather than naming one insurer upfront. ³Not publicly disclosed. Cyber liability product page as read on 2026-09-23.

TechInsurance targets cyber liability at small businesses handling sensitive data, naming IT and technology professionals, retail, healthcare, financial services, real estate, and media and advertising businesses as example segments. ³Company-reported. Who needs cyber liability insurance section of the product page.

The Hartford says cyber coverage is relevant to businesses that use the internet in operations, maintain a website, store private client data, or accept digital payments. ⁸Company-reported. Cyber insurance product page as read 2026-09-23.

TechInsurance splits cyber liability into first-party coverage (data breach response, cyber extortion payments, business interruption, data recovery) and third-party coverage (legal fees, regulatory fines, reputation management, settlements and court-ordered damages) for claims a client brings against the business. ³Company-reported. Cyber liability product page; coverage described in general terms, not a specific policy form.

TechInsurance says cyber liability insurance does not cover professional negligence claims unrelated to a breach, physical damage to electronic devices, or data loss from physical damage to hardware, and points buyers to errors and omissions or a business owner's policy for those gaps. ³Company-reported. What isn't covered by cyber liability insurance section of the product page.

The Hartford lists covered expenses after a cyber event: incident response (legal, forensic investigation, public relations), cyber extortion/ransom payments and negotiation, data recovery, system/network restoration, lost income from business interruption, customer notification and credit monitoring, and regulatory-inquiry defense and fines. The Hartford does not offer separate third-party cyber coverage; that risk may instead fall within its general liability grant. ⁸Company-reported. Cyber insurance product page as read 2026-09-23. General coverage description; the issued policy controls.

TechInsurance says its cyber liability policyholders pay a median of $129 per month, or about $1,552 a year, based on its own customer data, with the exact premium depending on employee count, data volume, claims history, deductible and coverage limits. ³Company-reported. Cyber liability product page cost section; a company-reported median from TechInsurance's own book of business, not a published rate table.

The Hartford reports customers pay about $320 a year on average for data breach coverage; the page does not publish standard coverage limits or retentions, which it says depend on business operations, size and chosen coverage options. ⁸Company-reported.
