Professional indemnity and cyber insurance are usually the key covers, supported by public liability and office protection where required.

Who Needs Internet Consultant Insurance?

• Digital consultants supporting websites, ecommerce, analytics or online platforms

Typical Internet Consultancy Risks

Claims can involve alleged failed implementation, unsuitable platform recommendations, website downtime, ecommerce disruption, data loss, security weaknesses, missed project deadlines, analytics errors, damaged client equipment, confidentiality issues or contract disputes.

Professional Indemnity and Cyber Cover

Professional indemnity can help where a client alleges your internet consultancy work caused financial loss. Cyber insurance can respond to digital incidents involving your own systems or client data. Insurers will usually want to understand services provided, client sectors, system access, contract values, subcontractor use, quality controls and previous claims history.

Web Platforms, Remote Access and Client Data

Internet consultants often work with website logins, ecommerce records, analytics dashboards, customer data, hosting accounts and third-party platforms. It is important to tell insurers whether you make changes directly, provide advice only, use subcontractors, manage credentials or access payment-related systems, because those details can affect the cover needed.
