For more than a decade Hiscox have offered specialist professional indemnity insurance to IT companies. Their
understanding of your industry is why they provide broader protection than many standard professional indemnity policies.
The Hiscox professional indemnity insurance policy for IT consultants and suppliers can help protect your business if
claims are brought against you by a client because of problems with work you have done for them. It is available
for IT consultants, contractors and trainers.
Why choose Hiscox IT Consultants Professional Indemnity Insurance?
You will be covered for:
- unintentional breach of a written contract to supply software or hardware. In our experience, breach of contract is one of the most common insurance claims in your industry, which is why we cover it as standard
- the supply of ‘deliverables’ like software or hardware
- negligence; where you have failed in your duty of care to a client, perhaps giving incorrect advice or making a mistake in your work
- any civil liability; this means that if a claim occurs because of your business activity for a client and we haven’t specifically excluded it, it’s covered
- infringement of intellectual property rights like copyright or trademark
