Your business is exposed to a number of hazards, which can have a significant impact on your company and lead to damages that cause substantial repercussions on your finances and/or people. Our risk prevention experts are on hand to help you both comply with legal risk prevention obligations as well as develop risk prevention programmes that appropriately reflect the risks your company faces.

A range of innovative services with COVÉA Solutions Prévention

In order to instil a prevention mindset and reduce incidents, we provide innovative services through Covéa Solutions Prévention that suit your needs. We cover all bases, offering local support, personalised guidance, risk assessments, analysis and assistance in implementing prevention mechanisms, to protect your business and customers as effectively as possible. And we do so for companies across all industries and geographic regions.

Helping employees to prevent road traffic incidents

For companies that own their own fleet of cargo vehicles, we offer programmes to prevent road traffic incidents. Adapted to suit your needs, these programmes are designed to help you reduce the frequency and severity of accidents involving employees and their vehicles, as well as any subsequent costs incurred (such as disabled vehicles and repair work). Furthermore, these tools help you comply with legal requirements regarding risk prevention and employee training.

Our services

In accordance with standards and regulations, while controlling budget costs, we commit to:

  • Conducting visits to assess risks and suggest areas for improvement ;
  • Oversee end-to-end projects with respect to fire detection/protection, intrusion and flooding, drafting the brief to check equipment compliance ;

Protecting the long-term future of your business from interruptions

Interruptions, however short they may be, can compromise the ability of your business to continue operating in your market. In addition to the coverage from your insurance policy, you need to develop back-up solutions to safeguard business continuity, despite the loss of critical resources. To help you do just that, Covéa Solutions Prévention has joined forces with the specialist firm Adenium to provide two levels of service:

  • Self-assessment on site in order to evaluate the company’s level of vulnerability and its ability to respond and tackle the risks identified
  • Implementation of a business continuity plan to optimise the overall level of resilience

Anticipating cyber risks to avoid any unpleasant surprises

Companies face many threats related to the use of digital technology, such as identity fraud, ransomware, fraud and phishing. To prevent such risks, Covéa Solutions Prévention has partnered with the specialist firm Lineon to provide two risk prevention services:

  • To achieve a basic standard of cybersecurity, we provide you with a questionnaire that can be accessed via a secure web portal to measure the company’s level of exposure, the risk of attack inherent to their industry as well as the resulting financial impact, and subsequently develop appropriate recommendations
  • A deeper technical and functional cybersecurity audit that can be conducted using a questionnaire, interview, on-site assessment, intrusion tests, vulnerability tests and phishing. Following this assessment, recommendations are made and support may be provided to implement them.

Solutions outside France

As risks do not stop at national borders, we need to apply a global plan to control them. That is why our expert risk preventers are on hand to develop tailored risk prevention programmes that fit within your international expansion plans.
We can also call upon partners in our EURAPCO and INI networks to conduct risks assessments locally and communicate detailed reports that supplement the programme.
