Allow me to first explain first party fidelity. First party fidelity covers theft from within. It protects an employer if it's employees were to steal from their organization.
Third party fidelity will cover against theft of clients' property. The IT company is most likely providing consulting services or IT services on their clients' premises. The client is concerned with theft from the IT company employees. We are receiving an increase number of requests for third party fidelity. A good majority are from IT companies.
