Beazley Tech E&O Insurance

Beazley sells technology errors and omissions coverage bundled inside MediaTech, a single small-business form that also includes professional E&O, media liability and cyber coverage. It is not offered as a standalone tech E&O policy for this segment. ¹Company-reportedUS small-business MediaTech product page; does not address Beazley's larger-account technology E&O programs, if any.

Beazley's posted Digital MediaTech Application names Beazley Insurance Company, Inc. as the insurer on its cover page. The actual issuing entity and state of admission for a given policy is confirmed on the quote and declarations, not the blank application. ²Company-reportedApplication form F00859, 042022 edition; not a regulator record and not evidence of the entity for every state or route.

The sample MediaTech form defines two technology-specific triggers: a Tech & Professional Services Wrongful Act (a negligent act, error, omission, misstatement or unintentional breach of contract in rendering Tech Services) and a Tech Product Wrongful Act (a Tech Product that fails to perform as intended, or software copyright infringement). Both are separate from the policy's Media Wrongful Act trigger. ³Company-reportedSample policy form F00731, 022019 edition, insuring agreements and definitions; the issued policy's wording and any endorsements control.

The sample form excludes patent infringement and trade-secret misappropriation connected to Tech Products or other products, even though it insures Tech Product Wrongful Acts generally. ³Company-reportedSample policy form F00731, 022019 edition, Patent & Misappropriation of Information exclusion; excludes only patent and the described trade-secret scenario, not all IP claims.

Coverage is claims-made and reported: it responds only to claims first made and reported during the policy period (or a purchased Optional Extension Period), and defense costs reduce the available limit. A buyer can purchase an Optional Extension Period (a tail) for additional premium after non-renewal or cancellation. ^2,3Company-reportedSample policy form F00731; application form repeats the same notice; specific tail pricing and duration are set in the declarations, not disclosed publicly.

Beazley's MediaTech application asks for employee count, US and non-US revenue for the last three years, the share of revenue from managed IT services, and answers about ransomware controls such as multi-factor authentication, VPN use, patching cadence and backup frequency. ²Company-reportedApplication form F00859, 042022 edition, General Information, Revenue Information and Ransomware Controls sections; a completed application does not establish acceptance.

Beazley says small and midsize MediaTech business is placed through third-party placement platforms or by email, with automated processing rather than a direct-to-consumer purchase flow. ¹Company-reportedMediaTech product page SME placement paragraph; describes the stated distribution channel only.

Beazley says its cyber and tech claims team, including experienced litigators, has handled thousands of E&O claims involving software failures, implementation errors and IP disputes. ¹Company-reportedMediaTech product page claims paragraph; outcome and volume figures are Beazley's own description and not independently verified.
