Security - Close Protection
Our specialist protection insurance is designed for brokers supporting clients operating in close protection. Built around robust risk management expectations and a clear underwriting appetite, our product delivers comprehensive cover for professional security providers working in the UK and, where appropriate, overseas by referral.
We continue to develop cover and share sector knowledge to support brokers and clients operating in professional close and asset protection.
Considerations for brokers and their clients may include:
- Licensing & vetting of staff (SIA licensing; demonstrable close protection experience; controls over bona fide subcontractors)
- Scope of operations (principal protection, residence/static protection, UK as standard with overseas assignments by referral in line with travel guidance requirements
- PL limit up to £10,000,000
- Efficacy up to £1,000,000
- Assault & battery, overseas personal liability
- Indemnity to Principal cover
Our risk appetite includes:
- Close protection of persons (executive, HNW, corporate visitors, media/events)
- Asset protection (static, mobile and residential assignments; non cash high value items)
- UK based operations, with overseas by referral subject to travel guidance processes
- Per capita (one person firms) through to large corporate proposers
