Honest Take

Which one fits your situation?

Beazley is a leading Lloyd’s cyber market typically placed through brokers. RMO BizCyber is direct-to-member with no broker commission and member-rate pricing on qualifying SMB risks.

Where BizCyber wins

Better for direct SMB cyber with member pricing

  • Direct-to-member distribution. No broker commission baked into premium. Members can quote and bind without going through a wholesale channel.
  • Member-rate pricing. Active members access pricing not advertised on the open market.
  • Bundles with RMO P&C suite. BizProperty, BOP, BizAuto, BizDirector under one membership.
  • Faster bind on clean SMB risks. Direct underwriting on standard SMB applications can bind faster than broker-mediated placements.
Where Beazley may be better

Better when broker placement and specialty markets matter

  • Lloyd’s market access. If your broker has a Beazley relationship, you can access specialty terms not always available in the standard market.
  • Combined Tech E&O + cyber. Beazley’s combined tech E&O and cyber product (Breach Response variants) is a category leader for tech companies.
  • Long-tenured breach-response panel. One of the original modern cyber breach-response markets.
  • Specialty risk appetite. Healthcare, fintech, and other industries with complex regulatory environments often place through Beazley.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I buy RMO BizCyber through my broker?

BizCyber is sold direct to RMO members. If you currently work with a broker for property and casualty, you can continue using that broker for non-cyber lines while placing cyber direct with RMO.

Does RMO cover tech E&O combined with cyber?

RMO offers separate cyber and professional liability products. Beazley’s combined Tech E&O + cyber is a specific market-leader product for tech companies; if that combined form matters, evaluate both options.

How does the breach-response panel compare?

RMO BizCyber includes a vetted breach-response panel of forensics, legal, and notification vendors. Beazley’s panel has been in market longer with deeper bench depth at the mid-market and enterprise tier.

Is member rate available to all businesses?

Active RMO Membership Club enrollment is required. Qualification also depends on standard cyber underwriting (controls, prior claims, industry, size).

Which is faster to bind?

Direct SMB risks at RMO typically bind faster than broker-mediated placements. Complex risks at either carrier take similar time given the underlying underwriting work.
