Fields of activity
Defence
and Security
We at Bessé are specialists in the defence sector and more especially in warship construction. Owing to our vast experience in this domain, our advisory expertise takes into account the specificities of the defence sector and the implementation of very high value-added technology
Your clients are unique and are in great need of availability. In this context and in this highly technical environment, we have set up innovating and operational insurance solutions to enable you to achieve your goals. We have at our fingertips a multidisciplinary team of defence experts: legal experts, analysts and prevention engineers with accredited defence clearance.
ACCOMPANYING OPERATORS IN THE DEFENCE SECTOR ALL OVER THE WORLD
The defence industry is a world apart that requires a specific risk map to be drawn up as the risks involved could jeopardise the continued existence of the operators in this sector.
Our specialisation extends to every sector of the defence industry and we also work not only with the major leaders in this field (be they sea, land or air based) but also with those who form the vast and varied industrial fabric that is made up of subcontractors.
Our action focuses on:
- Analysing the most advanced technologies so as to draw up the most accurate risk map possible (by calling on SOFIMAR)
- An innovative approach to transferring the risks incurred by industrialists, suited to the specificities of the defence sector, while implementing solutions for risk retention whenever necessary.
- Taking preventive action:
- Technical measures, to reduce or eliminate the risks (SOFIMAR)
- Legal measures, so that the risks are regulated
- Proactive claims management in strict confidence – both that of any personnel authorised to handle classified information and that of the insurers who are used to working with redacted but credible information so that the interests of our industrial clients are served in the best possible way.
RESILIENCE TO CYBER CRIME is also of the utmost importance in the defence sector
Our high degree of specialisation in covering cyber risks is an asset in the defence industry. Indeed, cybersecurity is one of the fundamental elements in defence. These days, awareness of cybersecurity is an essential factor in the choice of service providers, who must guarantee total security for their clients. This is all the more true when it comes to equipment for the Navy, Army or Air Force, which must be « cyber proof ».
MAINTENANCE IN OPERATIONAL CONDITION
Maintenance in Operational Condition and the risks that arise therefrom are major elements when it comes to analysing the risks faced by industrialists in the defence sector, as their operations cover not only building equipment but also maintainance, servicing and repairs. Equipment availability, whatever the type of equipment, is important for maintenance in operational condition. Dealing with this issue cannot be delayed because liability is being investigated through legal action.
