Kidnap & Ransom (K&R) Insurance protects organizations, executives, employees, and travelling personnel against the financial, operational, and security exposures associated with kidnapping, extortion, unlawful detention, hijacking, and other security-related threats arising from international operations and cross-border travel.

Coverage is designed to support financial stability and crisis response when organizations face incidents involving employee safety, geopolitical instability, or criminal activity across global jurisdictions.

Coverage typically responds to losses involving ransom demands, extortion threats, unlawful detention, express kidnapping, disappearance, hijacking, or security incidents affecting employees, executives, contractors, or family members during international business activities or travel.

Coverage may also include crisis response services, security consultant support, legal and regulatory-related expenses, emergency evacuation costs, and operational disruption arising from covered events affecting multinational operations or travelling personnel.

For multinational organizations, Kidnap & Ransom coverage may be coordinated through a Controlled Master Program (CMP), such as the WMB Global Risks Global Master Program, with locally admitted policies where required to support coordinated security protection and regulatory compliance across jurisdictions.

Kidnap & Ransom Insurance is designed to help organizations protect personnel, manage crisis situations, and maintain continuity across complex and evolving global risk environments.
