Fidelity and Crime Insurance (CrimeGuard®)

Employee dishonesty is a serious problem for all U.S. companies, and is one of the principal issues to consider when selecting fidelity and crime insurance.  Sound internal controls help prevent dishonest acts by employees, but no controls are impenetrable. In order to better manage the risk, those internal controls must be accompanied by a strong commercial fidelity and crime insurance policy.

CrimeGuard® provides U.S. companies with superior insurance for a wide array of crime-related exposures.  Rather than addressing the risk of loss piecemeal, CrimeGuard provides expansive, worldwide crime protection through a single, comprehensive insuring agreement.  It also offers insureds a uniquely cost-effective and efficient claims settlement process and supports efforts to reduce the costs and incidence of workplace fraud.
