Malfunctions or system failures in IT processes can entail substantial losses for the companies affected and potentially even threaten their existence. This could occur, for example, if a technical fault caused by a software update results in business interruption. The management of the company affected could then attempt to hold the IT service provider liable for the losses or damage incurred. Claims for compensation worth millions are not uncommon. As part of its IT Line solution HDI provides special IT liability cover that enables companies to insure against financial loss as well as personal injury and property damage.
