Rock Risk (Pty) Ltd
About
Our Story
Over 20 years of
building trust
Rock Risk (Pty) Ltd has been exceeding the insurance expectations of our clients for more than two decades. We specialise in short-term and marine insurance — with a particular focus on commercial cover for importers, exporters, logistics operators, and businesses across South Africa.
Patrizia Scott, our founder and principal broker, brings over 30 years of insurance and bancassurance experience. She has led brokerages, managed large service teams, and built deep specialist expertise in marine, liability, fleet, and commercial cover.
Rock Risk operates as an independent brokerage under its own FSP licence. This means independence in product selection, authority as a principal broker, continuity of the relationships and expertise built over decades, and the regulatory seriousness that clients expect from a trusted insurance partner.
