Low voltage risk and coverage review

A straight read on your program, before anything is sold.

A complimentary review for security and low-voltage integrators. We read your customer contracts against your policies and show you where they don't line up.

Free review. Not a quote request, and you don't have to move anything.

What a coverage read looks like

The customer contract on the left, your policy on the right.

Coverage read: contract vs. policy

SAMPLE

Hospital access control subcontract, Exhibit B

B.1 Subcontractor shall maintain commercial general liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence.

B.2 Professional liability covering design, programming, and monitoring of not less than $2,000,000.

B.3 Subcontractor waives all rights of subrogation against Owner and Contractor.

GAP

Your policy, declarations

General liability: $1,000,000 each occurrence, $2,000,000 aggregate.

Exclusion: professional services. No E&O policy in force.

Waiver of subrogation: blanket, where required by written contract.

Findings summary

  • E&O for your work

    GL excludes professional services. The contract asks for $2M.

    GAP
  • Contract limits

    Capped at the contract price, subro waived.

    FITS
  • GL class code

    Rated as electrical. Most payroll is alarm installation.

    THIN

Why it matters

Low voltage programs rarely fail at renewal.

You added monitoring revenue, took a hospital access control job that asks for $2 million in E&O, and started managing customer systems from the cloud. The policies renewed, and nobody checked whether they still fit.

Programs fail when a customer says the system didn't work and an adjuster reads the professional services exclusion on your GL. This review does that reading first.

What we read

Most reviews stop at the certificate. This one reads the paper.

Your customer contracts

The limitation of liability, the waiver of subrogation and the insurance exhibit, read against your GL and E&O.

How GL and E&O fit together

Whether a programming error or a missed alarm lands on a policy, and where the retro date sits.

Classification

Whether GL and comp codes match the work you actually do.

Remote access and cyber

The admin logins your techs hold to customer systems.

Tools and vans

Equipment on job sites, and hired and non-owned auto.
