Samphire Risk is an independent underwriting agency with a singular focus on insurance and reinsurance across the spectrum of malicious and hostile risks.
Insurance brokers and distributors have access to a comprehensive suite of world-class products designed specifically to meet clients of all types’ existing and developing needs in the areas of:
• extortive crime;
• hostage-taking and kidnap;
• terrorism in all its guises;
• travel into, and within, insecure countries and locations;
• business integrity and general security risk.
We offer standalone products, as well as highly innovative blended solutions, all delivered in an efficient manner via leading technology. Alongside our insurance protection, we also provide expert analysis and threat intelligence to help our policyholders better understand the risks and threats they face.
Samphire is proud to be an independent and expert insurer that has a truly dedicated focus on these highly complex threats and exposures. Our curiosity and passion to understand the risks in these specialist areas propel us forward at all times.
Utilising deep in-house expertise alongside verified terrorism and incident data, we offer standard form or tailor-made A-rated insurance and reinsurance. We provide innovative coverage and limits to traditional portfolios or alternative risk transfer programmes.
Our Corporate, Family and Marine Safeguard products provide essential peace of mind to organisations and people with profile or operating in complex and potentially hostile regions. Coverage includes, but is not limited to, malicious detention, extortion, hijack, unexplained disappearance, kidnap and critical evacuation. We work with specialist intermediaries and a panel of selected responders on a confidential basis.
The threat of malicious assailant incidents is increasing globally, putting lives at risk, and exposing a broad range of industries and companies to physical, financial, and reputational damage. Samphire Protect Safeguard provides cover for property damage, crisis response, business interruption and non-damage business interruption resulting from a variety of attack types. Cover can be tailored to suit the risk exposures faced across all industry verticals, including high public footfall venues, such as hospitality, events, hotels and places of organised public gathering.
We retain relationships with some of the world’s leading specialists in crisis response and resilience, their services delivered seamlessly through the policies we provide. We offer choice and flexibility rather than forcing a rigid solution on the policyholder.
We support corporate and commercial entities operating in hostile or complex environments with our personal accident and emergency medical response coverage, forming part of a duty of care programme for employees and staff. We provide standard forms of personal accident or underwrite comprehensive packages, interconnected with our chosen emergency responders worldwide.
Our blended policy, Samphire Integra, provides a single integrated coverage across travel, personal accident, kidnap and ransom and medical/security evacuation risk. It includes deep financial protection and a single crisis responder across the full spectrum of emergencies, providing simplicity and broad cover under a single policy, rather than separate ones. It is suitable for all types of companies or organisations with operations overseas and can sit alongside Samphire Global Safeguard to give a truly comprehensive solution to hostile and malicious risks faced by the entity.
In support of our products, we also offer the insight and support of a team of in-house globally trusted malicious risk consultants. Samphire Advisory can audit systems to increase confidence, help clients to understand and explore residual and developing risk and offer informed, expert advice to enhance resilience, reduce exposure and limit liability.
Whether about the safety of people or assets; whether at home or overseas; whether politically, economically or ideologically motivated; whether localised or globalised – Samphire will commit itself to the simple promise of world class insurance delivered by true experts with exceptional service
