Markel Debuts InfoPro, New IT Professional Liability Policy Form

RICHMOND, Va., June 5  /PRNewswire/ -- Markel Corporation announced the release of its new InfoPro policy form targeted to information technology professionals. InfoPro offers many attractive, new features, which the company expects to be very competitive in the marketplace.

"Our new coverage features target the type of exposures an IT professional is most likely to need to protect against, and we believe our new form will be a great fit for all types of IT pros," said Michael Carr, Markel's director of IT Professional & Data Security. According to Carr, some of InfoPro's most desirable coverage highlights include the following:

  --  Professional liability coverage that automatically applies to broadly
      defined technology services, while retaining the ability to schedule
      additional services tailored to the insured's business.

  --  Core coverage that includes Markel's DataBreach(SM) and Privacy
      Liability, which further extends to unauthorized access to the named
      insured's system, as well as to client systems arising out of the
      insured's professional services.

  --  No sub-limit on the defense of regulatory claims arising out of an
      "unauthorized access."

  --  Deductible credit for claims settled via mediation.

  --  A Claims Made form, rather than Claims Made & Reported.

  --  First dollar Supplementary Payments coverage, in addition to the
      aggregate for Breach Mitigation (notification, voluntary credit
      monitoring & public relations).

  --  Optional first party coverage for data breach loss to insured. Covers
      insured's own expenses to recover from an unauthorized access.

  --  Optional electronic media liability coverage for the insured's
      software, the content of the insured's web site and web content
      provided to clients as part of the insured's professional services.
