Willis Urges Data Centers to Rethink Insurance Buying

Willis, a WTW business, is advising data center owners, developers, and investors to rethink traditional insurance buying by adopting a risk and data-led approach. The company warns that many organizations may be securing capacity beyond their actual exposure due to a lack of understanding of their risks. Willis emphasizes that while significant insurance capacity is available, sharper risk analysis and investments in resilience can optimize insurance programs, reduce unnecessary spending, and improve financing outcomes for clients. The firm highlights its eight-point digital infrastructure risk framework to support this more sophisticated approach.
