As global investment in digital infrastructure surges, driven by artificial intelligence, cloud computing and rising demand for computing capacity, analysts suggest clients face increasingly complex risk profiles. The new program reportedly delivers an integrated solution that spans construction, cargo, cyber and operational exposure under one coordinated program.
Addressing Evolving Risk Landscape
“Today’s data centers are the backbone of the global economy,” said James MacNeal, global industry specialty leader of construction and infrastructure for Aon, according to the company’s announcement. The report states that their Data Center Lifecycle Insurance Program empowers clients to make better decisions, moving faster and more confidently, with protection that evolves alongside strategic assets.
Industry experts suggest the timing is critical as digital infrastructure projects become increasingly complex and essential to economic growth. The integrated approach reportedly enables greater capital efficiency, faster execution and stronger resilience across infrastructure projects.
Comprehensive Coverage Details
According to the program details, DCLP offers substantial coverage across multiple risk categories:
- Up to $1.5 billion in coverage for construction all risks, delay in start-up, and operational property damage/business interruption
- Construction cyber physical damage up to $400 million, including construction non-damage cyber and operational cyber and tech E&O
- Third-party liability coverage up to $100 million (excluding US exposures)
- Project cargo and transport insurance up to $500 million
- Integrated risk engineering and cyber impact modelling through Aon’s Global Risk Consulting team
Streamlining Complex Risk Management
By unifying traditionally fragmented coverage across multiple lines of business, sources indicate DCLP enables clients to reduce friction in procurement, accelerate project timelines and enhance investor confidence. The facility also integrates advanced risk engineering and cyber impact modelling to help clients anticipate, quantify, and respond to emerging threats across both physical and digital domains., according to additional coverage
“Data centers are no longer just physical assets, they are platforms for innovation, connectivity and economic growth,” said Brian Hearst, managing director of construction for Aon, according to the company statement. Analysts suggest this perspective reflects the evolving nature of digital infrastructure and its critical role in modern economies.
Building Resilience in Digital Transformation
As the scale and criticality of digital infrastructure grow, the report states that clients need coordinated solutions that align insurance protection with operational performance and stakeholder expectations. DCLP is reportedly intended to help clients navigate today’s risk environment by consolidating coverage, surfacing insight earlier in the development cycle and providing the tools to mitigate loss before they escalate.
The launch of DCLP represents the latest example of how Aon is delivering on its strategic initiatives, according to industry observers. The program brings together Aon’s global expertise, carrier relationships and analytics infrastructure to help clients address interconnected challenges with greater clarity, confidence and speed.
