⚠️ Your Exposure

Why IT consultants can't practise without it.

Clients build their operations on what you deliver. When a system fails or a project overruns, the claim lands on you.

🧩

Project Failure & Overruns

A late, over-budget or non-performing project can trigger a claim for the client's loss.

🔐

Data Breach & Security

A breach on your watch can lead to liability, notification costs and a claim.

⏱️

System Downtime

Downtime caused by your work can cost a client revenue they seek to recover.

🐞

Software Defects

Bugs or defects that cause loss or disruption can result in a negligence claim.

📄

Scope & Deliverable Disputes

Disagreements over what was promised can escalate into a claim.

🔗

Third-Party & Integration Issues

Failures at an integration point can still point back to the lead consultant.

📁 Real Scenarios

Claims IT consultants actually face.

These aren't rare. A single failed deployment can cost more than a whole project's margin.

  1. Failed implementation: A system goes live broken and the client claims for lost revenue and rework.
  2. Data breach: A security lapse exposes client data, triggering notification costs and a claim.
  3. Downtime event: An outage traced to your work costs the client trading revenue.
  4. Defective code: A software defect causes disruption and a claim for the resulting loss.
  5. Scope dispute: The client alleges the delivered solution fell short of what was agreed.
