All Systems Go Plus®
Unlimited* equipment breakdown coverage
HSB’s broadest equipment breakdown insurance, with optional Data Compromise and Identity Recovery coverage in one affordable, convenient package.
What is covered?
Microelectronics coverage for invisible risks
Traditionally, equipment breakdown coverage has required evidence of physical damage. However, today’s business equipment contains microelectronics – miniaturized circuitry with parts so tiny, damage is virtually undetectable. Such technology now drives heating and cooling systems, electronic and production equipment.
This coverage adds a second cause of loss for failures when physical damage is not detectable.
Off-premises transportable equipment coverage
Equipment has become more compact, portable and more frequently used off-premises, where it is exposed to greater risk of damage; from newer technology such as laptops and devices, to more conventional objects such as compressors and generators.
Now, off-premises coverage is provided on transportable equipment for property damage, business income, extra expense and data restoration, anywhere in Canada and USA.
Cloud service interruption
Cloud computing services have been added to service interruption coverage, paying for lost business income and extra expenses when an insured’s cloud service provider experiences an outage due to equipment breakdown.
Data restoration to include data lost in the cloud due to an accident
Our analysis of equipment breakdown claims over the years has shown growing data restoration losses, both in severity and frequency. We already cover data lost due to an accident. However, a business’s data stored in the cloud is also increasingly at risk.
In response, we have added data restoration coverage for data lost when it is stored and managed by a cloud computing service provider.
Public relations coverage
TechAdvantage® also includes coverage for services from reputation management professionals, such as a PR firm, when an equipment breakdown poses a risk to a business’s goodwill. It pays for professional public relations services to help manage a client’s reputation that is at risk when a breakdown causes a business income loss.

Optional Data Compromise and Identity Recovery coverage
Optional Data Compromise
All businesses are data breach targets. With fewer protections against data breach than large companies, small to mid-sized businesses are more vulnerable and less prepared for the complexity and cost of responding. Bundled with All Systems Go Plus®, Data Compromise is affordable, covers costs of notifying those affected, and includes valuable professional help to respond promptly and properly to preserve business relationships and reputation.
Optional Identity Recovery
Complex, frustrating and timeconsuming, the process of restoring a stolen identity can take an owner’s focus off their business. Loans and other activity dependent on the owner’s credit may be put on hold, while the restoration process can cost thousands. Identity Recovery not only pays for costs related to restoring identity integrity to pre-theft status, it includes top professional services to help business owners navigate the restoration process faster, with less trouble.
