Protect Your Business with Professional Indemnity (PI) Insurance

Professional indemnity (PI) insurance is often a compulsory purchase for Surveyors to comply with the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS)

As a firm of Surveyors your business provides professional advice, offers consulting services, and handles data for a client, so you could benefit from professional indemnity insurance cover arranged by Aon which includes protection for your business against:

  • Professional negligence / civil liability
  • Defence costs
  • Loss of documents or data
  • Breach of your copyright, patent or other intellectual property rights
  • Costs of mitigating a potential claim
  • Costs of preparing for an official investigation into the affairs of your business
  • Costs of representation at a disciplinary hearing, tribunal or proceeding

Aon will discuss any exclusions or limitations that may apply to your policy as part of your quote.

Cyber and Data Insurance FAQs

Will this cover help if I’ve been the victim of a ransomware attack?

You would need to take out the optional first party cover to be insured against any losses, including any payments made to the hacker as a result of a ransomware attack or other cyber extortion event. You will also be insured against any loss of income due to not being able to access your systems.

Will this policy cover any fines under GDPR?

GDPR fines are not insurable under UK law but the standard liability cover will cover any compensation claims and the breach response service can help reduce fines by mitigating the impact of the breach.

Will this policy cover previously undiscovered cyber-attacks?

This policy will protect you against cyber-attacks and data breaches from when they were discovered rather than when they happened.

Will this policy help if I’ve been the victim of phishing?

If the result of the phishing attack is that you have been tricked into paying a fraudulent invoice, you won’t be covered by the standard policy and would need to have taken out the optional fraudulent instruction cover to be protected. If a phishing attack resulted in a hacker gaining access to your systems and stealing customer files, you will be covered as standard under the policy.

Will this policy cover data breaches that are a result of our failings?

You will be covered as long as the cause of the breach does not conflict with the security requirements of the policy agreed at the time i.e. all mobile and portable storage devices must be encrypted. No insurance policy will cover you for breaches that arise as a result of deliberate acts by your firm.
