Zurich Resilience Solutions Launches New Data Center Practice in Risk Advisory

Zurich Resilience Solutions (ZRS), a prominent risk advisory and engineering service under Zurich Insurance, has recently announced the establishment of a specialized Data Center Risk Advisory practice. This new initiative unites over 100 expert risk engineers, all equipped with extensive experience in supporting complex data center projects.

The creation of this Advisory practice is a strategic extension of Zurich’s newly launched Data Center Project Guard solution. This innovative offering not only expands but also customizes Zurich’s Builders Risk coverage to effectively address the unique exposures and loss drivers associated with modern data centers. It underscores ZRS’s dedication to equipping clients with forward-thinking resilience strategies that encompass green construction, carbon offsets, extreme weather considerations, cyber threats, and more.

The demand for these specialized services has reached unprecedented levels. Data center investments surged by an astonishing 92% year-over-year, totaling $32.9 billion as of November 2025. Furthermore, global investments in this sector are projected to soar to $6.7 trillion by 2030. As a result, data center operators are increasingly confronted with exposures that can lead to costly delays, downtime, and safety incidents.

Currently, Zurich supports over $1 trillion in data center assets and projects across more than 20 states. The company also offers prevention and mitigation advisory services that span from the earliest planning and commissioning stages through construction and into full operational phases.

The capabilities and expertise of the ZRS team cover a wide range of areas, including data center planning, construction, property and critical equipment management, as well as operational resilience. They also specialize in physical and cyber risk management, business continuity, and extreme weather resilience tailored specifically for data center environments.
