Aon has introduced a new multi-line insurance facility to support clients in managing risks throughout the development and operation of data centres.  

Dubbed Data Centre Lifecycle Insurance Program (DCLP), the facility integrates coverage for construction, cargo, cyber, and operational risks into a single coordinated programme. 

The DCLP offers up to $1.5bn in coverage for construction all risks, delay in start-up, and operational property damage/business interruption.  

It also provides construction cyber physical damage coverage up to $400m, which encompasses construction non-damage cyber and operational cyber and tech E&O. 

The programme includes third-party liability coverage up to $100m, with the exclusion of US exposures, and offers project cargo and transport insurance up to $500m. 

Aon construction and infrastructure global industry specialty leader James MacNeal said: “Our Data Center Lifecycle Insurance Program empowers clients to make better decisions, moving faster and more confidently, with protection that evolves alongside strategic assets, from physical infrastructure to digital operations.” 

DCLP integrates risk engineering and cyber impact modelling, delivered by Aon’s Global Risk Consulting team.  

This service aims to help clients proactively address potential threats that can affect both physical assets and cyber infrastructure. 

The programme is structured to provide early insights during the development cycle and to equip clients with strategies to mitigate potential losses, the company said. 

This follows the recent launch of Aon Broker Copilot, a tool designed to improve the commercial insurance placement process by employing AI and predictive analytics.
