The ratings acknowledge the company’s ability to meet higher capitalization requirements.While the program has been around for almost seven years, the rating is new. The Security America RRG board members have been working with A.M. Best to secure a rating due to the number of members that are sometimes required, by contract, to have coverage from a "rated†company. "In order to maintain a long-time government contract, I needed an insurance company with a ‘B’ rating and was forced to leave Security America. But now, with this even higher rating, I’m switching back before my renewal date. I’ve missed the excellent service and pricing that is the hallmark of Security America,†said Dan Budinoff, president of Security Specialists in Stamford, Conn."These are very strong results,†said Security America RRG President Cecil Hogan. "We are pleased that A.M. Best has recognized Security America’s secure financial position with a B++ rating.â€ABOUT ESAFormerly the NBFAA, the Electronic Security Association (ESA) is the largest and longest established trade association representing the electronic life safety and security industry.
