IT consultant insurance is a package of covers tailored for IT professionals who offer consulting services to their clients. This insurance policy typically provides protection against a range of risks and liabilities that an IT consultant may face while performing their duties, such as errors and omissions, data breaches, and cyber-attacks.

As an IT consultant, you probably travel to a variety of locations for a host of different jobs, meaning that you are presented with a multitude of risks daily. Wherever you go and whatever the job in hand, ensuring you have comprehensive insurance in place to protect against unforeseen events is crucial. Without the right IT consultant insurance, you could be exposed to large financial losses that could jeopardise the future of your business.

When deciding what insurance and covers you need to protect your business, you should consider the following:

Without the right IT consultant insurance in place, you may be personally responsible for any losses that occur while conducting business, as well as any third-party claims that could be submitted against you. IT consultant insurance is typically designed to protect your consultancy against events that could leave you and your business exposed to large financial losses.

The type of insurance covers you need may depend on the specific nature of your business and the risks involved. If you are unsure, our insurance experts are on hand to help you determine what types and amounts of cover are appropriate for your business.

Typically, IT consultant insurance can cover your premises and equipment, as well as your clients and your staff. Covers you should consider include:

  • Public liability – for injured visitors or damage to their property.
  • Employers' liability – to protect your employees.
  • Professional indemnity - can cover compensation for losses you are legally liable for if you make a mistake or give negligent advice.
  • Personal accident cover - to tide you over in the event that you injured yourself at work.
  • Buildings cover – to cover for loss or damage to your premises.
  • Equipment, contents and stock – to reinstate your items and belongings.
  • Business interruption – to keep finances running when disaster strikes.
  • Business legal expenses – to cover the cost of legal expenses.
  • Cyber and data - to help cover damages and costs associated with data breaches, cyber-attacks, or other cyber incidents.

There may be other considerations that you may need to make, depending on the nature of your work and the exposures you face. You may be working for large corporate clients and have remote access to business networks. On the other hand, you may only be dealing with clients wishing to repair or maintain their domestic computers and networks. Either way, ensuring you have adequate cover for all your business activities is essential for business continuity.

The cost of IT consultant insurance can vary depending on a number of factors, including the scale of your business or consultancy, the types of cover you require, the levels of cover and the location of your business.

For example, a small IT consulting business with a limited range of services may pay less for insurance than a larger firm that offers a wider range of services. Similarly, a business operating in a low-risk industry or location may pay less than one operating in a high-risk industry or location.
