NEW YORK, N.Y., March 4, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hiscox, the international specialist insurer, offers a proactive solution to a variety of increasing security risks faced by small and medium sized organizations and their employees. Hiscox Special Protection Solutions insurance coverage allows these organizations to effectively address growing domestic exposures, backed by advice and counsel from their exclusive incident response partner, Control Risks.
Threats by disgruntled employees or customers against individual employees and businesses have become all too common. The Future Risk Survey indicates that 38% of corporate resilience directors believe their organizations will take on more risk in the coming year. However, most small to medium sized organizations don't have risk managers or security personnel to quickly and professionally respond to threatening situations. Hiscox is here to help with policies offering threat assessment and protection with limits ranging from $500,000 to $65 million. Premiums start at only $900 annually.
"The best way to deal with threats to your organization is by following expert advice from people who have experienced these before," said Bert Spunberg, Senior Vice President, Practice Leader – Executive Risk at Hiscox. "Hiscox clients get the expert advice they need from our exclusive response partner Control Risks to reduce risks and manage potentially dangerous incidents."

In the US, Hiscox offers Special Protection Solutions as part of its broader Executive Risk insurance portfolio and has offices in New York, NY; Atlanta, GA; Chicago, IL; Los Angeles, CA; San Francisco, CA and White Plains, NY.
