Our Armed Security Guard Insurance Services

Comprehensive coverage solutions tailored to the unique risks of armed security guard operations and agencies.

General Liability

Protect your armed security business from third-party bodily injury and property damage claims. Essential coverage for guards operating on client premises, with limits designed for high-risk security operations.

Professional Liability

Covers claims arising from errors, negligent acts, or failure to perform security duties. Critical for armed security agencies where professional decisions carry significant legal and financial consequences.

Commercial Auto

Covers vehicles used by armed security personnel for patrol, transport, and client site visits. Includes liability and physical damage for owned, leased, and non-owned vehicles in your fleet.

Workers' Compensation

Mandatory coverage for armed security employers, protecting guards injured on duty. Soma places workers' comp for high-risk security classifications that standard carriers frequently decline or overcharge.

Cyber Liability

Security firms managing client data, access credentials, and surveillance systems face significant cyber exposure. This coverage addresses data breaches, ransomware, and regulatory defense for security operations.

Risk Management Services

Soma's Risk Management Team analyzes your armed security operation, identifies coverage gaps, and structures a cost-optimized insurance program — replacing the slow, traditional broker process with fast, expert placement.
