Businesses with operations in traditionally high-risk countries are no longer alone in their need for kidnap and ransom (K&R) insurance. The changing nature of political and electronic threats means that businesses and travellers everywhere can now encounter problems.
We can offer you expansive traditional kidnap insurance, including a broad definition of bodily injury as well as cover for cyber extortion and related expenses. As this cover should be arranged on a highly confidential and secure basis, we assure you of the greatest discretion.
