This coverage is available immediately to Vizient members.
Under the terms of the agreement, the policy includes prevention and crisis management services as well as insurance coverage to indemnify covered losses. The coverage is designed to help reduce the likelihood of an incident by providing risk assessments and educational tools to help clients improve security and resilience to an incident. In such event, Beazley’s crisis response services include security, investigation into the cause of the incident and assistance with managing crisis communications.
Chris Parker, head of terrorism and political violence underwriting at Beazley, said: “As incidents involving deadly weapons are all too frequent in the United States, organizations need to be prepared in case the worst does happen. Unfortunately, immunity from the risk of an attack is impossible, but improving safety and risk management measures can reduce the likelihood or the severity of such an attack. We are very proud to work with Vizient in support of its members with our insurance and risk management offering.”
