✅ What IT liability insurance addresses
- Software errors and failures — systems that do not perform as specified or fail at a critical time
- Data loss and corruption — loss of client data resulting from your systems or advice
- Intellectual property infringement — inadvertent use of third-party code or IP in your deliverables
- Breach of contract — failure to deliver systems or services as contractually specified
- Advice and specifications — incorrect requirements gathering leading to a system that does not meet client needs
⚠️ Critical considerations for IT liability
- Claims-made policy structure — a claim must be notified during the active policy period
- Retroactive date — prior projects not covered if you switch insurers without managing the date
- Contractual liability — indemnities in client contracts may extend beyond what the policy covers
- Bug warranties — contractual obligations to fix defects are typically not insured losses
- Revenue recognition timing — ensure the policy limit matches the largest single project value
Structuring IT liability cover
- 1) Project types — bespoke development, COTS implementation, SaaS, integrations
- 2) Client contracts — review indemnity clauses, liability caps and IP ownership terms
- 3) Revenue — current and projected billing for rating
- 4) Sub-contractors — are third-party developers covered or excluded?
- 5) Data obligations — client data processed, stored or transmitted by your systems
Making a claim
- Preserve all specifications, acceptance tests, change requests and client sign-offs
- Notify us at the first complaint or sign of a claim — early notification is critical
- Do not admit liability or offer fixes without insurer involvement
- Keep version control records and deployment documentation
Who this suits
- Software development companies and freelancers
- System integrators and ERP implementation specialists
- SaaS providers with contractual service level obligations
Renewal checklist
- Review project scope and contract terms at each renewal
- Check retroactive date when switching insurers
- Confirm sub-contractor liability arrangements
- Review limit against your largest active project contract value

❓ Common questions
Here are questions we are commonly asked about it liability insurance by clients across the Granite Belt and New England.
- How much does it liability insurance cost? Premium depends on your specific situation — activities, asset values, cover type and claims history all affect the price. We compare options across multiple insurers and explain the differences clearly.
- Do I need a broker or can I go direct? You can approach insurers directly, but a broker compares multiple markets, structures cover to match your specific needs and advocates for you at claim time. For regional and rural risks, broker access often finds options not available direct.
- What happens when I need to claim? Contact us immediately. We manage the notification, help document the loss, liaise with the insurer and assessors, and advocate for a fair outcome.
- How do I know if I am underinsured? Your sum insured should reflect full replacement cost at today’s prices. We review sums insured at every renewal and flag concerns before a claim makes the shortfall real.
