Hiscox launches Personnel Security Plus

Hiscox has launched Personnel Security Plus, a new product designed to complement its existing Kidnap and Ransom insurance. This policy provides extra protection for employees against 22 types of risks, including workplace violence, cyber stalking, abduction, blackmail, and terrorism. It also offers businesses access to Control Risks’ global consultancy for threat assessment, recovery, and 24/7 support, with on-the-ground crisis management available when needed.

“It’s not just in unstable parts of the world where employee safeguarding can be a challenge, but in countries and regions where you might not expect to experience security issues like cyber stalking, workplace violence or terrorism. Personnel Security Plus will help employers respond to crises involving their employees wherever they are in the world; helping to keep them safe, while effectively carrying out their duty of care as an employer.” – Stuart Allen, Kidnap and Ransom Line Underwriter for Hiscox.
