What Can A Security Insurance Policy Cover?

A security policy can keep you safe from many of the risks you could face in your line of business. From policies that provide peace of mind to cover you'll be required to have by law, we can provide you with the protection you need in one convenient and cost-effective policy that can include;

Public liability – possibly the most important element to include in your security insurance cover, public liability will protect you against potentially business-ending legal costs. If your actions or those of your business mean that members of the public are injured or their possessions damaged and they choose to bring claims against you, public liability will assist with the associated legal costs and potential compensation pay-outs. As your job regularly involves contact with the public, this cover is seen by many in the industry as being a crucial
Employers' liability – do you run a security company and employ team members? Or employ staff of any kind? If so, you'll need employers' liability cover - it's a legal requirement. Irrespective of whether your staff are full-time, part-time, temporary or contracted, if you employ anyone you'll need this cover. Employers' liability covers you if your employees seek damages against you as they have become ill or injured due to your business's actions or environment. As you'll be required to have this in place, it makes sense to include it in a wider policy and potentially save on your overall premium.
Dog handlers' liability – if you use a dog for either security guarding, drug or explosives detection, dog handlers' liability cover is there for you. This will protect you from the costs of claims brought against you if your dog causes damage to property or injuries to people. Regardless of how well they are trained, animals can make mistakes and you won't want this to lead you to incur large costs that could potentially close your business.
Cash carrying liability – do you need to carry money in your job? If you own a cash collection company that is responsible for collecting and transporting large volumes of money from your customers to the bank, then you'll want thiscover. This will protect you from threats that can arise when you are taking money to and from banks, money that is stored on your premises and even personal assault cover if you are unable to work due to an attack.
Wrongful arrest cover – if you work as a door supervisor or guard then this cover could be good for you. Wrongful arrest cover defends you against legal fees and costs if your actions or testimony leads to somebody bringing claims against you for wrongful arrest. When tempers fray after one too many drinks, this policy could protect your finances and your reputation.
Loss of keys cover – if you're entrusted with the keys to the place you're protecting, loss of keys cover gives you peace of mind whilst you work. If you lose your keys this cover will assist with the costs of replacing them. It will even provide coverif your keys are stolen and then the premises burgled.
Professional indemnity cover – as someone that provides a service and who can also be required to advise on best security practice, you'll want professional indemnity cover. This will protect you against clients suing you over your service or advice as a security professional.
