IT Consultant professional indemnity insurance
Specialist IT insurer Hiscox has been offering professional indemnity insurance tailored to the needs of IT consultants for more than a decade. During that time, their underwriters have developed a highly specialised knowledge of the IT industry and the risks you face.
Hiscox’s Professional Indemnity Insurance, designed for IT consultants, can help protect your business if claims are brought against you by a client because of problems with work you have done for them.
If you provide an advisory service to clients, handle client data, are responsible for a client’s intellectual property; or offer a professional service and could be challenged on your work, you may need to consider professional indemnity insurance.
Why choose Hiscox IT Consultant Professional Indemnity Insurance
You don’t want to get caught up in a legal maze when choosing the best cover. A Hiscox IT Consultant Professional Indemnity policy defines IT products as either a product or a service – this is a much broader definition than on a policy that does not detail this cover, or a policy that is not specifically for IT consultants.
A Hiscox IT Consultant Professional Indemnity Insurance policy includes cover for:
Negligence
Accusations of negligence are a constant risk for any business providing consultancy services. If a claim is brought against you,professional indemnity insurance will help protect you.
Broader definition gives better protection
Do you supply a service or a product? Software can be recognised as both so Hiscox will cover you for claims against both interpretations.
