Insurance for Executive Protection Companies

Licensed Brokerage20+ Years ExperienceUpdated April 2026

Executive protection companies operate in a specialized niche that carries distinct risk characteristics. Protecting high-profile individuals involves close physical proximity, travel across jurisdictions, potential confrontations, and the expectation of discretion that can complicate claims and legal proceedings.

Unique Risks in Executive Protection

Executive protection agents operate in unpredictable environments where the threat level can escalate rapidly. Close proximity to high-net-worth clients means any mistake can generate claims of extraordinary value.

Travel across state lines and international borders adds jurisdictional complexity. An incident in one state may be governed by different use-of-force standards than where your company is based.

Coverage We Recommend

Client and Contract Requirements

Executive protection clients typically impose stringent insurance requirements. Minimum limits of $5,000,000 or more are common. Some clients require proof of firearms liability, kidnap and ransom, and professional liability before engaging your services.

Confidentiality clauses create additional insurance considerations. Claims from breach of client confidentiality may require specific professional liability coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most require $5,000,000 or more in combined liability. High-profile clients may require $10,000,000 or higher, achieved through primary policies and umbrella coverage.

Coverage varies by policy. If your agents travel internationally, confirm your policies provide coverage in all jurisdictions where you operate.

For companies protecting individuals who face credible threats, kidnap and ransom insurance can be an important addition. Discuss specific risk profiles with your broker.
