Professional Saver Public Liability Insurance for Hardware Consultants


Our standard cover is:

  • £1 million cover for public and products liability (with an option to increase to £2 million, £5 million or £10 million)
  • £10,000 cover for any financial loss (£50K cover optional)
  • Worldwide liability cover for temporary work abroad for up to 14 days (excluding the USA and Canada)

As a hardware consultant, insurance is crucial to protect you when advising clients on IT infrastructure and hardware implementations. Our public liability insurance covers you if someone gets injured or a client’s property is damaged while you work onsite. For example, you could be liable if a client trips over cables you have installed, leading to an injury claim.

Why Do Hardware Consultants Need Insurance?

As a hardware consultant, you conduct onsite assessments of client infrastructure and provide advice that shapes critical procurement decisions. However, mistakes can happen that, without insurance, could leave you facing substantial payouts for financial losses or disruption.

Our tailored public liability policies give you complete peace of mind that any disputes, injuries or loss claims caused by your consultancy will be dealt with.

What Is Hardware Consultancy Insurance?

Hardware consultancy insurance protects professionals who advise organisations on selecting, deploying and managing IT infrastructure components. This covers:

  • Assessing existing infrastructure and requirements
  • Advising on optimal server, storage and networking solutions
  • Overseeing procurement and integration of new hardware
  • Providing guidance on capacity, performance and security

However, risks include inaccurate assessments overlooking infrastructure gaps, flawed advice on solutions or oversight issues that negatively impact operations. This could cause disruption, data losses or system downtime.

What Does Hardware Consultancy Insurance Cover?

Our hardware consultant policies can protect against:

  • Public Liability – Covers any injury or property damage caused while visiting client sites, such as accidentally spilling coffee on computer equipment or cables leading to tripping and injury.
  • Professional Indemnity (optional) – Provides protection if your infrastructure advice leads to financial losses for a client. For example, flawed solutions lead to inadequate capacity, performance issues or systems outages that negatively impact operations.
  • Legal Expenses – Pays legal costs and provides specialist legal advice and representation if you face civil claims alleging negligence relating to your work. This can help defend against demands for large sums of compensation.
  • Contents and Equipment (optional) – Replaces lost, stolen or damaged items when visiting client sites and conducting hardware assessments. We cover equipment like testing devices, tablets, cameras, etc anywhere in the UK

FAQs

Hardware Consultants Insurance FAQs

  • Poor security recommendations resulting in data breaches

Our professional indemnity insurance aims to cover resulting financial loss claims.

We cover hardware advisory activities like:

  • Infrastructure audits and assessments
  • Advice on server, storage and network upgrades
  • Oversight of new hardware procurement and deployment
  • Performance testing and benchmarking
  • Disaster recovery planning
  • Infrastructure security guidance
