When tech companies receive a local, state, or federal government contract award, they've probably waited a long time to get the news. The government's review and selection processes are quite lengthy. After examining every small detail and answering endless questions, tech companies often hear nothing but silence for quite a while before they receive an answer.

Now they're eager to get started. But before they do, tech companies should check with their agents to make sure they have the right technology insurance coverage to meet their contractual requirements and protect them from the broad range of exposures they'll face.

Why Government Contractors Need Comprehensive Technology Insurance

Performing these services not only exposes IT companies to financial risk if their product fails but also to data loss and other rising threats from cyberattacks such as ransomware and data breaches. Fortunately, Philadelphia Insurance Companies (PHLY) has wide experience underwriting this sector, and we offer a three-part coverage solution. It's why we've become a top choice for government contractors' technology insurance.

Five Reasons Government Contractors Choose PHLY

PHLY is one of the only leading insurance carriers offering a three-part coverage solution:

• Tech E&O with Professional Liability, Cyber, and Media Liability coverage options to address a variety of exposures, such as negligence, errors and omissions, technology services, technology products, media liability, and copyright or trademark infringement
  
  
• Commercial Package with General Liability, Property, Auto, and Inland Marine coverage protection
  
  
• Umbrella to increase limits of the liability coverages and help pay excess claims

PHLY can also offer complementary products for Directors and Officers Liability (D&O), Employment Practices Liability (EPLI), Fiduciary Liability, and Crime.

2. Talk to One Underwriter Throughout the Application Process

PHLY thinks it makes sense to have the actual underwriters answer your questions and bring their regional knowledge and industry experience to your situation. They aren't quoting using an algorithm, nor will calls and emails bounce from one person or department to the next. You get answers and action when you need them.

3. Don't Forget Risk Management Solutions
