SIA-Licensed Door Staff & Security Firms
Standard liability policies often exclude injury from deliberate acts — the exact risk of door supervision. Six questions to match you to insurers whose wordings are written for the job.
Answer the questions below; each option points toward the providers whose cover fits that answer. Your closest matches are the providers your answers point to most often.
The interactive quiz above only shows the results relevant to your answers. For reference, here's the full list it draws from:
The quick online route for self-employed door supervisors — public liability at £1m/£2m/£5m from £12.19/month, with employers’ liability as an add-on.
Bespoke security cover with automatic £5m public/products liability and £10m employers’ liability — the limits councils and large venues actually demand.
A long-running combined liability scheme (underwritten via Coversecure/XL Catlin) including inefficacy cover, deliberate-acts cover and professional indemnity at £1m–£2m.
A 30-year specialist underwriting scheme for security firms — accessed through a broker, with door supervision rated properly (minimum premium £1,500 + IPT).
Routes SIA-licensed individuals and firms to specialist security insurers — useful for benchmarking.
This tool gives a guide match based on typical product features, not financial advice. Cover details, prices and review scores change — always read the policy wording and compare at least two quotes before buying. Information last checked June 2026. Whatever you buy, confirm in the wording that injury arising from deliberate acts (restraint, ejection) and wrongful arrest are covered — without them, a policy is not fit for door work.
