Willis, a WTW business, has introduced Digital Infrastructure Protector, a comprehensive lifecycle solution designed specifically for data center owners and operators. With this launch, the company aims to address the growing complexities of modern data center environments by combining integrated insurance coverage with advanced risk management capabilities. As a result, stakeholders including owners, contractors, operators, and hyperscalers can better minimize risks while improving both operational efficiency and financial resilience.
Notably, this new solution supports organizations throughout the entire data center lifecycle, from initial construction to ongoing operations. Furthermore, it reflects Willis’ continued focus on delivering tailored risk solutions that align with the evolving demands of digital infrastructure in an increasingly interconnected risk landscape.
As the rapid expansion of AI-driven technologies accelerates data center development, enterprises are encountering new and complex challenges. Consequently, traditional insurance models are no longer sufficient to address these emerging risks. Recognizing this shift, Willis has developed Digital Infrastructure Protector as a client-focused and data-driven solution.
Alastair Swift, Head of Global Specialties at Willis said: “The pace at which the AI boom is accelerating data center construction is creating unprecedented complexity, and traditional insurance solutions are no longer sufficient. As a client-led, data-driven organization, Willis has developed this solution to respond directly to those challenges.”
In addition, the solution is designed to offer greater flexibility and precision in risk coverage. By aligning policy terms, limits, and pricing with the specific needs of each project, organizations can achieve more efficient and effective risk mitigation strategies.
Tom Grandmaison, Chief Client Officer for Willis Construction, adds: “Digital Infrastructure Protector provides clients with the right limit, the right terms and conditions and the most efficient price for each individual project, giving them the power to not only minimize risk but also secure the most from their investment.”
Moreover, Digital Infrastructure Protector introduces several key features that enhance its value proposition. First, it delivers integrated and enhanced policy coverage by collaborating closely with Zurich, a leading provider in data center insurance. Through this partnership, clients gain access to streamlined coverage exceeding $3 billion in capacity, consolidating building, operational property, marine, and cargo risks under a single policy. At the same time, both companies have customized policy structures to meet the unique and evolving needs of digital infrastructure projects.
Additionally, the solution incorporates an evidence-based broking approach. By leveraging advanced analytics and data validation, Willis and Zurich help clients identify coverage gaps and determine the optimal level of insurance required. Therefore, organizations can avoid over insurance and improve overall cost efficiency.
Equally important, Willis provides integrated risk management through its eight-point digital infrastructure risk framework. This framework enables clients to maintain a comprehensive and ongoing view of potential risks, including emerging and systemic threats. As projects evolve, organizations also receive continuous guidance to adapt their risk strategies, ensuring long-term resilience.
Finally, clients benefit from access to Willis’ Global Digital Infrastructure Group, a newly established team led by Alastair Swift. This group brings together experts from various sectors, including construction, energy, climate, technology, cyber, real estate, supply chain, data analytics, and risk engineering. By combining this diverse expertise, Willis enables clients to stay ahead of industry trends and effectively manage risks across the entire data center ecosystem.
Overall, with the launch of Digital Infrastructure Protector, Willis is strengthening its position in the digital infrastructure space by offering a holistic, data-driven solution that meets the complex needs of modern data center operations.
