What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Santam is adapting its services to help South African businesses manage complex business risks. The company notes that businesses in South Africa must contend with combined risks, including global health pandemics, socio-political unrest, infrastructure failure, extreme weather events, and growing cyber exposure. These risks are increasingly interconnected, meaning a single event, such as a power outage, can cascade into data loss, product deterioration, and lost revenue.

This shift is fundamentally reshaping the role of the insurance intermediary. To help businesses identify vulnerabilities before they result in significant financial losses, insurance brokers are moving beyond traditional roles to become trusted risk advisors.
