Case Study
Incident
A wealth management app provides investment advice based on user data, like financial goals, age, and risk tolerance. A mistake in the software allowed investors to misstate their age, which led to a user alleging that she was invested in unsuitable assets that resulted in a financial loss.
Resolution
The E&O policy, with a Specialty E&O endorsement for investment advice and activities, covers defense costs and settlements, even for investment advice delivered digitally.
Incident
A startup that provides lending services experiences a breach when attackers are able to take advantage of a software vulnerability, potentially allowing attackers access to customers’ sensitive data, including social security numbers.
Resolution
The Cyber policy covers the costs for a computer forensic investigation, public relations advice, and claims by customers for their identities being stolen.
Incident
The CFO of a startup makes an error in the preparation of financial statements that were used in a funding round. A major shareholder investor learns of the error and sues, alleging material misrepresentation.
Resolution
The D&O policy covers the costs to defend the lawsuit and the settlement, including the investor's legal fees. Because Vouch does not automatically exclude suits brought from major shareholders, this claim may be covered, even though the lawsuit was brought by an investor.
Project management software startup
Incident
The CFO of a startup makes an error in the preparation of financial statements that were used in a funding round. A major shareholder investor learns of the error and sues, alleging material misrepresentation.
Resolution

Software testing platform startup
Incident
A startup that provides software testing tools experiences a breach when attackers are able to take advantage of an error in how the startup built docker images, potentially allowing attackers access to customers’ sensitive data.
Resolution
The Cyber policy covers the costs for a computer forensic investigation, public relations advice, and claims by customers for the cost to conduct their own forensic investigation.
Billing software startup
Incident
A startup sells their invoice and billing software to a client. After using the software, the client learns they have been sending invoices with incorrect amounts to their customers. They allege that the startup made errors in the design and implementation of their software.
