Hiscox Special Risks
Kidnap and Ransom
What is Kidnap and Ransom insurance?Â
A  Kidnap and Ransom policy is a necessity for organizations and individuals worldwide, and provides protection against a variety of security risks including threats and extortions against people, property and propriety information. Many organizations lack the resources and personnel to quickly and professionally respond to threatening situations. We help companies face their legal duty to exercise reasonable care in providing a safe workplace.Â
