CRC Group, an independent wholesale specialty insurance distributor, has announced enhancements to its exclusive Insurisk platform aimed at meeting the increasing insurance demands of the global data centre industry.
The company stated that the platform’s underwriting capabilities have been strengthened in response to rising investment, larger-scale developments, and growing operational complexity across the sector.
As demand continues to grow across hyperscale, colocation, and enterprise data centre projects, Insurisk has expanded its specialist capacity and underwriting expertise. These enhancements are intended to support owners, operators, and developers throughout the full project lifecycle, from initial construction through to ongoing operations.
Through the updated Insurisk Data Centers offering, CRC Specialty brokers are now able to access up to $500 million in total capacity spanning property coverage, including Builders Risk, as well as casualty lines. According to the company, this capacity is backed by a diverse capital base that includes traditional insurers, multinational reinsurance partnerships, and alternative capital sources such as insurance-linked securities.
The expanded capacity is designed to complement existing insurance programs established by retail clients, offering higher limits and more tailored coverage to strengthen overall program resilience.
CRC Group noted that these increased limits are structured to support large-scale, capital-intensive data centre projects, including new developments, facility expansions, and operational sites. The enhanced platform also addresses evolving risk considerations such as higher power densities, advanced cooling systems, business interruption exposures, and construction-related challenges.
“Data centers represent one of the most critical and fastest-growing infrastructure classes globally,” added Insurisk President Alex Bonds. “Our enhanced capabilities reflect both the increasing sophistication of these risks and our commitment to delivering tailored, high-capacity solutions for clients and broker partners operating in this space.”
