What is database management professional liability insurance?
If you’re a database manager of any kind, no matter the size of the IT infrastructure you’re managing, you could face legal action if a client believes you’ve committed an error or left out crucial information.
As a database manager, you or your employer may already have commercial general liability insurance or IT insurance in place. Unfortunately, these policies usually don’t cover claims resulting from services or advice. As a result, you could be sued and held personally responsible for any financial damages related to a client’s database.
The good news is, EasyCover offers database management professional liability insurance. This type of insurance can help cover your legal expenses if you’ve been taken to court by a client for an issue related to the services or advice you’ve provided.

How much professional liability coverage do database managers need?
EasyCover offers professional liability covers that can protect you if you face legal action due to the data management service you’ve provided. This vital insurance could cover your legal defense costs as well as settlements or judgments, up to your policy limits.
You can select from three levels of coverage with EasyCover:
- $1 million
- $2 million
- $5 million
These numbers represent the highest amounts you could be paid out for any claims within a 12-month policy period. The level of coverage you need depends on your industry, clients, and potential costs of lawsuits.
You’ll be responsible for the deductible portion of your coverage for each covered claim. Deductibles generally range from $250 to $1,500 and are determined by your annual revenue.
