HSB Computer Insurance

Comprehensive cover for commercial computer hardware, data losses, increased costs, and virus, hacking and denial of service

There is often the option to insure computer equipment under a combined commercial or property policy, however these may not fully cover all computer risks. HSB Computer Insurance is a commercial product specifically designed to offer comprehensive cover for computer-related risks.

Our policy is split into four sections, providing customers with the flexibility to choose the level of cover they need:

Section 1 – Hardware
Section 2 – Reinstatement of data
Section 3 – Increased cost of working
Section 4 – Virus, hacking and denial of service attack

'Section 1 – Hardware' is the core cover, which provides insurance for installed and portable computer equipment. Sections 2-4 are optional covers that can be selected in addition to hardware to enhance the level of cover.
