6 policies every software developer should consider
Clients, landlords, or state laws may require software developers to get insured. Business insurance could prevent financial losses in the event of an injury, property damage, lawsuit, or data breach.
Errors and omissions insurance (E&O)
E&O insurance can help pay legal bills if a software developer is sued over a work mistake or oversight. It's sometimes called professional liability insurance.
BEST FOR
- Software bugs
- Missed deadlines
- Programs that don't meet client requirements
Cyber liability insurance
This policy helps your software development firm recover after a data breach or cyberattack. It can also help pay for lawsuits from affected clients.
BEST FOR
- Fraud detection and monitoring services
- Client notification after a breach
- Lawsuits from clients affected by a breach
Fidelity bonds
If a client accuses one of your developers of theft, this policy reimburses the client for the amount stolen. It's also called an employee dishonesty bond.
BEST FOR
- Unlawful data access by your employee
- Illegal money transfer by your employee
- Other employee theft or fraud
Business owner’s policy (BOP)
A BOP bundles general liability and commercial property insurance. Software developers can usually get insurance coverage at a discount with this policy.
BEST FOR
- Client injuries at your office
- Accidental damage to client property
- Lost or damaged business property
General liability insurance
This policy protects your business from the most common liabilities faced by software development firms. It's often required in client contracts and commercial leases.
BEST FOR
- Client injuries at your office
- Accidental damage to client property
- Libel, defamation, and copyright lawsuits
Workers’ compensation
If your business has employees, you'll probably need to purchase this policy to comply with state law. It covers medical costs from work injuries and illnesses.
BEST FOR
- Medical bills from work injuries and illnesses
- Partial wages while employees recover
