Before comparing quotes, list the services, entities, data, funds, and contracts involved. A California producer-license lookup can verify a listed licensee’s status and discipline history, but it does not show whether a policy fits your operations. [Agents & Brokers Overview](https://www.insurance.ca.gov/0200-industry/), [Producer Types and Requirements](https://www.insurance.ca.gov/0200-industry/0050-renew-license/0200-requirements/index.cfm) ## Which Insurance Should You Consider for Insurance and Insurtech? Consider professional errors and omissions (E&O), technology errors and omissions (E&O), cyber liability, crime, directors and officers, and employment practices liability. Start with the coverages tied to your day-to-day operations, then use the situations and buying questions below to compare your options. ### [Professional Liability (E&O) Insurance for Insurance and Insurtech](https://thegeneralaverage.com/coverage/professional-errors-omissions) **When it matters:** You sell, advise on, place, administer, or adjust insurance products for customers or a carrier. [Producer Types and Requirements](https://www.insurance.ca.gov/0200-industry/0050-renew-license/0200-requirements/index.cfm) **What to review:** Ask which professional acts, entities, and customer-facing services the actual form covers and what financial-services, contract, and regulatory exclusions apply. Ask the insurer to explain the response under the actual form. [Producer Types and Requirements](https://www.insurance.ca.gov/0200-industry/0050-renew-license/0200-requirements/index.cfm) **Ask:** Which named professional services, entities, alleged errors, financial-services exclusions, and defense-cost terms appear in the actual wording? [Producer Types and Requirements](https://www.insurance.ca.gov/0200-industry/0050-renew-license/0200-requirements/index.cfm) ### [Tech E&O Insurance for Insurance and Insurtech](https://thegeneralaverage.com/coverage/technology-errors-omissions) **When it matters:** An insurer, agency, or customer relies on your quoting, rating, policy-administration, claims, or data software. [Agencies Issue Final Guidance on Third-Party Risk Management](https://occ.treas.gov/news-issuances/news-releases/2023/nr-ia-2023-53.html) **What to review:** Describe the software service and a concrete failure scenario. Ask how the specific technology E&O wording addresses the service, financial loss, subcontractors, and contractual duties; do not infer an answer from the line name. [Agencies Issue Final Guidance on Third-Party Risk Management](https://occ.treas.gov/news-issuances/news-releases/2023/nr-ia-2023-53.html) **Ask:** Which named services, entities, alleged financial injury, financial-services exclusions, and defense-cost terms appear in the actual wording? [Agencies Issue Final Guidance on Third-Party Risk Management](https://occ.treas.gov/news-issuances/news-releases/2023/nr-ia-2023-53.html) ### [Cyber Insurance for Insurance and Insurtech](https://thegeneralaverage.com/coverage/cyber) **When it matters:** You handle policyholder financial or health information or depend on claims, policy, or cloud systems. [Insurance Topics | Cybersecurity](https://content.naic.org/insurance-topics/cybersecurity) **What to review:** NAIC describes cyber policies as highly customized and says most commercial property and general-liability policies do not cover cyber risks. Compare the actual data, vendor, response, and interruption terms. [Insurance Topics | Cybersecurity](https://content.naic.org/insurance-topics/cybersecurity) **Ask:** Does the quote address policyholder and customer data, underwriting and claims systems, carrier or program vendors, response costs, and interruption? Which sublimits, waiting periods, and exclusions apply? [Insurance Topics | Cybersecurity](https://content.naic.org/insurance-topics/cybersecurity) ### [Crime Insurance for Insurance and Insurtech](https://thegeneralaverage.com/coverage/crime) **When it matters:** You handle premium, commission, claim, settlement, or customer funds, or staff can change payment instructions. [Commercial Insurance Guide](https://www.insurance.ca.gov/01-consumers/105-type/95-guides/09-comm/commercialguide.cfm) **What to review:** Crime forms vary by purchased causes and insured property. Ask whose money, what persons and instructions, and which transfer routes are described; do not assume customer funds or a digital transfer is included. [Commercial Insurance Guide](https://www.insurance.ca.gov/01-consumers/105-type/95-guides/09-comm/commercialguide.cfm) **Ask:** Whose property is insured, and which people, instructions, transfer methods, discovery terms, direct-loss conditions, and exclusions apply? [Commercial Insurance Guide](https://www.insurance.ca.gov/01-consumers/105-type/95-guides/09-comm/commercialguide.cfm) ### [D&O Insurance for Insurance and Insurtech](https://thegeneralaverage.com/coverage/directors-officers) **When it matters:** A carrier partnership, board, investor, or acquisition changes governance and management responsibilities. [Agencies Issue Final Guidance on Third-Party Risk Management](https://occ.treas.gov/news-issuances/news-releases/2023/nr-ia-2023-53.html) **What to review:** A board, investor, or contract request is a prompt to compare the entities, people, claim definitions, and insurance-activity exclusions in the proposed wording. [Agencies Issue Final Guidance on Third-Party Risk Management](https://occ.treas.gov/news-issuances/news-releases/2023/nr-ia-2023-53.html) **Ask:** Which entities and people are insured, what claims and defense costs are addressed, and which financial-services or regulatory exclusions apply? [Agencies Issue Final Guidance on Third-Party Risk Management](https://occ.treas.gov/news-issuances/news-releases/2023/nr-ia-2023-53.html) ### [Employment Practices Liability Insurance for Insurance and Insurtech](https://thegeneralaverage.com/coverage/employment-practices) **When it matters:** You hire producers, claims staff, engineers, or support teams, or add another employing entity. [Small Business Insurance](https://content.naic.org/consumer/small-business.htm) **What to review:** Employment-related claims are distinct from standard CGL categories. Ask which employing entities and worker groups are insured and what allegations and defense terms the actual form lists. [Small Business Insurance](https://content.naic.org/consumer/small-business.htm) **Ask:** Which employing entities, worker groups, allegations, defense-cost terms, and exclusions appear in the proposed form? [Small Business Insurance](https://content.naic.org/consumer/small-business.htm) ## From Spot Spot, which publishes this research, gets quotes from 50+ providers and finds the best fit for your coverage, needs, and cost. Companies save up to 40%, and we keep managing your insurance as it changes. [Book a Free Consultation](https://cal.com/team/spotinsure/insurance-consultation) ## Separate Insurtech Software From Insurance Functions For each entity, identify whether it only supplies software or also markets, solicits, places, binds, services, or adjusts coverage, or performs work under delegated authority. Ask the broker to put each service and capacity into the application and name the correct insured entities. A software description alone may omit work the contract assigns. [Producer Types and Requirements](https://www.insurance.ca.gov/0200-industry/0050-renew-license/0200-requirements/index.cfm), [Agencies Issue Final Guidance on Third-Party Risk Management](https://occ.treas.gov/news-issuances/news-releases/2023/nr-ia-2023-53.html) In California, use CDI’s inquiry to check the intermediary’s status and discipline history, then confirm its listed license class. The lookup does not establish expertise or whether a policy fits your business. [Agents & Brokers Overview](https://www.insurance.ca.gov/0200-industry/), [Producer Types and Requirements](https://www.insurance.ca.gov/0200-industry/0050-renew-license/0200-requirements/index.cfm) ## Map Insurtech Data, Funds, and Claims Separately List policyholder data, premium and settlement funds, claim decisions, insurer systems, and third-party vendors separately. For each, ask what the quote says about your own property, customer property, fraudulent instructions, data incidents, and interruption. A general crime or cyber category does not settle these questions. [Commercial Insurance Guide](https://www.insurance.ca.gov/01-consumers/105-type/95-guides/09-comm/commercialguide.cfm), [Insurance Topics | Cybersecurity](https://content.naic.org/insurance-topics/cybersecurity) For any carrier or bank contract, compare the required notice, service, continuity, indemnity, and evidence terms with the actual application and policy documents. Ask the insurer whether the wording addresses the obligation you accepted; do not treat a partner checklist as proof of coverage. [Agencies Issue Final Guidance on Third-Party Risk Management](https://occ.treas.gov/news-issuances/news-releases/2023/nr-ia-2023-53.html) ## Refresh an Insurtech Submission When Roles or Contracts Change Revisit the insurance submission when a new carrier or program launches, delegated authority changes, a service expands to another state, or claims and payment handling move to a vendor. Keep the state, product, and entity detail specific; a California license class list is not a national activity rule. [Producer Types and Requirements](https://www.insurance.ca.gov/0200-industry/0050-renew-license/0200-requirements/index.cfm), [Agencies Issue Final Guidance on Third-Party Risk Management](https://occ.treas.gov/news-issuances/news-releases/2023/nr-ia-2023-53.html) Compare each policy part, limit, exclusion, and reporting condition against the operation map. Ask for exact forms and any proposed endorsement when treatment depends on professional services, insured capacity, funds, data, or a regulator inquiry.

[How Reliability Scores Work](https://thegeneralaverage.com/reliability-score). ## Common Questions About Insurance for Insurance and Insurtech ### Does a California producer license class show that a policy fits an insurtech? No. CDI’s lookup can verify a listed licensee’s status and discipline history, and its page lists license classes. Neither establishes the quality of advice or the fit of an insurance form. [Agents & Brokers Overview](https://www.insurance.ca.gov/0200-industry/), [Producer Types and Requirements](https://www.insurance.ca.gov/0200-industry/0050-renew-license/0200-requirements/index.cfm) [Read the full answer](https://thegeneralaverage.com/industries/insurance/does-a-producer-license-class-prove-policy-fit) ### Can a software vendor assume its technology policy also addresses agency or program work? Do not assume that. Software, producer services, and delegated work are different operations to describe in the submission; ask the insurer which are listed and how the form treats each.
