About Tech E&O Insurance

Technology Errors & Omissions insurance is the cornerstone coverage for any software professional. When a bug in your code causes a client's system to fail, a missed deadline costs them revenue, or a deliverable doesn't perform as specified — Tech E&O covers legal defense costs, settlements, and judgments.

Unlike general liability, Tech E&O specifically addresses the financial harm caused by professional mistakes, oversights, or failures in your technical work. Whether you're a freelance web developer, a SaaS founder, or a development shop with a team, this coverage is non-negotiable.

What's Covered

Claims from software defects or bugs in production
Missed deadlines causing client financial loss
Scope creep disputes and contract disagreements
Failure of software to meet agreed specifications
Negligence in IT consulting and advisory work
Defense costs even if allegations are unfounded
