[Human-readable page](https://spot.insure/industries/analytics) # Insurance Buying Guide for Analytics Businesses [B2B](https://spot.insure/industries/b2b) An analytics consultancy and hosted product make different promises. Before a client engagement or product launch, describe whether you advise on decisions, handle customer data, connect to client systems, or operate a relied-on dashboard. Ask the insurer which forms apply to those services. [Launch your business — Get business insurance](https://www.sba.gov/counseling/launch-your-business/), [Small Business Insurance](https://content.naic.org/consumer/small-business.htm), [Cybersecurity for Small Business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/small-businesses/cybersecurity) ## Which Insurance Should You Consider? Consider professional errors and omissions (E&O), technology errors and omissions (E&O), cyber liability, and commercial property. Start with the coverages tied to your day-to-day operations, then use the situations and buying questions below to compare your options. ### [Professional errors and omissions (E&O)](https://spot.insure/coverage/professional-errors-omissions) **When it matters:** A customer will decide from your analysis, forecast, attribution, or recommendation. [Small Business Insurance](https://content.naic.org/consumer/small-business.htm), [Launch your business — Get business insurance](https://www.sba.gov/counseling/launch-your-business/) **What to review:** NAIC describes professional liability broadly for service and advice errors; it does not decide whether a model, dataset, or engagement fits a form. [Small Business Insurance](https://content.naic.org/consumer/small-business.htm), [Launch your business — Get business insurance](https://www.sba.gov/counseling/launch-your-business/) **Ask:** Does the definition include your advice and analysis, and how does the quote treat inaccurate outputs, methodology, or missed deliverables? [Small Business Insurance](https://content.naic.org/consumer/small-business.htm), [Launch your business — Get business insurance](https://www.sba.gov/counseling/launch-your-business/) ### [Technology errors and omissions (E&O)](https://spot.insure/coverage/technology-errors-omissions) **When it matters:** You sell a hosted dashboard, API, connector, or analytics platform under a service commitment. [Cyber insurance coverage & products](https://www.chubb.com/us-en/business-insurance/products/cyber-insurance/cyber-insurance-products.html), [Small Business Insurance](https://content.naic.org/consumer/small-business.htm) **What to review:** Treat technology-service wording as a quote question. Ask which proposed form applies to the hosted product, then review its service definitions and exclusions. [Cyber insurance coverage & products](https://www.chubb.com/us-en/business-insurance/products/cyber-insurance/cyber-insurance-products.html), [Small Business Insurance](https://content.naic.org/consumer/small-business.htm) **Ask:** Which services and financial-loss scenarios appear in the form, and what does it say about integration failures or delayed feeds? [Cyber insurance coverage & products](https://www.chubb.com/us-en/business-insurance/products/cyber-insurance/cyber-insurance-products.html), [Small Business Insurance](https://content.naic.org/consumer/small-business.htm) ### [Cyber liability](https://spot.insure/coverage/cyber) **When it matters:** You ingest customer or employee data, grant vendor access, or link to multiple systems. [Cyber Insurance](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/small-businesses/cybersecurity/cyber-insurance), [Cybersecurity for Small Business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/small-businesses/cybersecurity) **What to review:** FTC describes first-party costs and third-party claims as cyber questions to review. Ask whether the form addresses your vendors and data. [Cyber Insurance](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/small-businesses/cybersecurity/cyber-insurance), [Cybersecurity for Small Business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/small-businesses/cybersecurity) **Ask:** Does the quote address response, restoration, notification, vendor-held data, interruption, and customer claims? Which triggers and limits apply? [Cyber Insurance](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/small-businesses/cybersecurity/cyber-insurance), [Cybersecurity for Small Business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/small-businesses/cybersecurity) ### [Commercial property](https://spot.insure/coverage/commercial-property) **When it matters:** You lease an office or buy servers, test devices, or other analytics equipment. [Commercial Insurance Guide](https://www.insurance.ca.gov/01-consumers/105-type/95-guides/09-comm/commercialguide.cfm), [Small Business Insurance](https://content.naic.org/consumer/small-business.htm) **What to review:** Property terms depend on scheduled locations, values, covered causes, and exclusions. Include equipment owned by another party separately in the discussion. [Commercial Insurance Guide](https://www.insurance.ca.gov/01-consumers/105-type/95-guides/09-comm/commercialguide.cfm), [Small Business Insurance](https://content.naic.org/consumer/small-business.htm) **Ask:** Which office interests, equipment, and customer property are scheduled, and what valuation and covered-peril basis applies? [Commercial Insurance Guide](https://www.insurance.ca.gov/01-consumers/105-type/95-guides/09-comm/commercialguide.cfm), [Small Business Insurance](https://content.naic.org/consumer/small-business.htm) ## Need Help Choosing Coverage? Spot prepares your applications, coordinates with brokers, and helps you compare quotes so you can choose coverage with the key details in front of you. [Book a Free Consultation](https://cal.com/team/spotinsure/insurance-consultation) ## Separate Advice From the Product For consulting, describe the decisions your work informs and what the client receives. For a product, describe hosting, integrations, outputs, and service commitments. Ask which professional and technology-service definitions apply. [Small Business Insurance](https://content.naic.org/consumer/small-business.htm), [Cyber insurance coverage & products](https://www.chubb.com/us-en/business-insurance/products/cyber-insurance/cyber-insurance-products.html) If the product connects to client tools or writes data into systems, include that work in the application. A service failure and security incident can raise different quote questions. [Technology Exposures](https://www.chubb.com/us-en/business-insurance/technology-exposures.html), [Cybersecurity for Small Business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/small-businesses/cybersecurity) ## Map Data and Vendor Access List data received, where it is stored, which vendors can reach it, and how customers recover records. FTC recommends assessing supplier risk and asks buyers to examine vendor-held data when reviewing cyber insurance. [Cybersecurity for Small Business](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/small-businesses/cybersecurity), [Cyber Insurance](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/small-businesses/cybersecurity/cyber-insurance) Ask who can help after an incident, what response costs are addressed, and which events trigger interruption protection. Forms and conditions decide the answer. [Cyber Insurance](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/small-businesses/cybersecurity/cyber-insurance) ## Update the Quote Before Expanding Tell the broker when one-off reports become a hosted subscription, when data sources expand, or when customers use outputs in production. Compare the updated operations with the renewal application. [Launch your business — Get business insurance](https://www.sba.gov/counseling/launch-your-business/), [Technology Exposures](https://www.chubb.com/us-en/business-insurance/technology-exposures.html) ## Providers to Compare by Coverage These providers document the coverage listed below.

[How Spot Scores Work](https://spot.insure/spot-rating). ## Common Questions ### Should an analytics consultancy and a data product use the same E&O description? Describe them separately. Consulting may involve advice and analysis; a hosted product may involve software, integrations, data, and service commitments. Ask which service definitions fit each activity. [Launch your business — Get business insurance](https://www.sba.gov/counseling/launch-your-business/), [Small Business Insurance](https://content.naic.org/consumer/small-business.htm) [Read the full answer](https://spot.insure/industries/analytics/consulting-or-software) ### Will cyber insurance cover a breach at an analytics vendor?
