Professional liability insurance for IT consultants
Faulty backup: You have been contracted to backup your client's business records, and the external hard drive you use fails causing you to lose all of the data. Your client could make a claim against you for using improper backup procedures which caused your failure to deliver the services promised. Professional liability insurance (errors and omissions insurance) protects you if such a claim is made.
Dissatisfied client: You are hired to review your client's website and network security in order to implement new procedures where you find weaknesses. A month after you complete the project, your client's website gets hacked and they lose revenue from the site being down. Your client accuses you of faulty work. Professional liability insurance protects you against claims of negligence even if you haven’t made a mistake.
