Aon unveils new full-life cycle insurance facility

Aon has unveiled a new full-life cycle insurance facility to further help clients manage risk across every stage of data centre development and operations.

Called the Data Center Lifecycle Insurance Programme (DCLP), the facility delivers an integrated proposition that spans construction, cargo, cyber and operational exposure under one coordinated programme.

“The result is greater capital efficiency, faster execution and stronger resilience across infrastructure projects,” Aon said.

James MacNeal, global industry specialty leader of construction and infrastructure at Aon, added: “Our DCLP empowers clients to make better decisions, moving faster and more confidently, with protection that evolves alongside strategic assets, from physical infrastructure to digital operations.”

‘Reduce friction’

This comes as global investment in digital infrastructure surges, driven by artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing and rising demand for computing capacity.

Aon said that clients face increasingly complex risk profiles as a result. It added that 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.

Brian Hearst, managing director of construction for Aon, said: “Data centres are no longer just physical assets, they are platforms for innovation, connectivity and economic growth.

“DCLP reflects our commitment to helping clients shape better decisions, protect what matters most and build enduring infrastructure for a more digital world.”
