Important insights on technology insurance for your consultancy or company.
Omaha, NE, April 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 
Having a technology business can be exciting and rewarding. But working in this industry can be stressful if you don’t have the right financial protection. From property damage to client lawsuits, there are many ways to find yourself facing unexpected expenses. But here’s the good news: Technology insurance can cover the costs of incidents IT companies and consultants are most likely to encounter.
Let’s dive into the important topic of insurance for technology companies! We’ll explain what it is, why you need it, how you get it, and more.
Tech company insurance protects a wide range of roles and titles.
“Technology company” and “technology professional” are terms we use as shorthand for a wide range of roles and titles. You might use any of the following terms or others to refer to your company or the people who work for you:
- IT analyst
- Programmer
- Technical consultant
- IT trainer
- Software consultant
- Systems analyst
- Information systems consultant
- Database manager
- Software architect
- Software engineer
- Computer consultant
- Solution architect
- Technical advisor
- Custom software developer
In this article, we’re using “technology company” and “technology consultant” to refer to any entity or person who provides technical advice or services related to computer systems, databases, and more.
Understanding Professional Liability insurance.
One type of coverage that’s particularly important in technology is Professional Liability insurance. You might hear people call it “tech Errors & Omissions” or “tech E&O insurance,” but it protects your business in situations where you made a mistake or provided incorrect advice that caused their business financial harm.
For example, let’s say you advise a client to buy several expensive computer servers as part of a large IT project. They make the purchase and the manufacturer delivers the units. But the client then discovers you provided an incorrect model number, and they can’t use the devices. They’ll have to return them and pay the shipping costs and other fees. They also missed out on a deal from another company on the correct devices, and now they’ll pay significantly more for their servers.
The client sues your business for their losses—an amount close to $75,000—and the court agrees that you’re liable. Thankfully, your Professional Liability insurance can cover the cost plus your legal defense fees. Without that coverage, you’d be required to pay the amount from your savings or revenues.
So, you can see why tech E&O insurance is essential.
A THREE policy provides tech companies with Professional Liability insurance and more.
In the tech sector, E&O insurance protects companies from potentially costly lawsuits, which is really important. But it’s not the only type of coverage you need. Tech businesses face other risks, which can be addressed by different components of a THREE policy:
Employee injuries.
Insurance for tech companies includes Workers’ Compensation coverage for work-related injuries or illnesses, such as developing carpal tunnel syndrome or being injured in an auto accident on the way to a client location. It can pay medical bills, rehabilitation costs, and some of the person’s lost wages while they recover. Workers’ Compensation protects employees and owners. It’s also required in many states for businesses with employees.
Theft of business property.
Computers, servers, and other technology equipment can be expensive. If someone steals company property and you have this type of coverage, you can expect payment.
Property damage.
Property insurance can cover situations like a pipe bursting, flooding your office, and damaging equipment and furniture.
Employee theft.
If one of your employees steals from a client, the business liability coverage in a comprehensive insurance policy from THREE may pay related costs.
Commercial auto damage and liability.
This insurance covers company-owned or leased vehicles. It can pay court-awarded damages or settlements if someone driving your vehicle is at fault in an accident and the other party sues. It can also pay to repair damage to your vehicles from accidents, vandalism, or other covered causes.
Cyberattacks.
As a tech company or consultant, you are likely to receive sensitive information from clients. If someone hacks into your computer network, steals data, and uses it to commit fraud (or is likely to), the Cyber coverage in a technology services insurance policy from THREE can pay specified costs related to the theft.
The benefits of all-in-one tech company insurance from THREE.
