TORONTO, Sept. 12, 2013 /CNW/ - With the rapid pace of globalization, companies increasingly do business in different parts of the world, exposing their employees and their families to kidnapping and other similar risks. Recent trends indicate that many kidnappings involve not just executives, but employees or their dependants. To help protect your most valuable assets; your people, Creechurch has partnered with leading Kidnap & Ransom insurer Hiscox to offer kidnap, ransom and extortion (K&R) coverage. Through Hiscox, Creechurch clients have access to Control Risks, a leading security-management and loss-control company, to provide response services anywhere in the world.
Coverage includes:
"In these uncertain times, with growing threats against Canadians traveling abroad and interests in many parts of the world, Creechurch's Kidnap, Ransom and Extortion coverage provides companies peace of mind as they send employees off to dangerous and far flung regions" said Phil Baker, Executive Vice President of Underwriting at Creechurch.
"Not only does our coverage protect businesses against kidnapping, it also offers protection against extortion threats towards a business's IT network or its products."
