South-Central Protective Services' new Containment Insurance Entity
Item Number: SCP-4975
Object Class: Thaumiel
Special Containment Procedures: The Department of Bureaucracy is to ensure that SCP-4975 continues to operate within Foundation front company South-Central Protective Services indefinitely.
Description: SCP-4975 is a Foundation-employed corporate entity that sells insurance coverage against anomalous phenomena.
SCP-4975 itself is a conceptual mass of memes that excels in risk-assessment and risk-management.
SCP-4975 acts and interacts with civilian customers in a manner similar to non-anomalous insurance services.
SCP-4975 expedites the containment process.
Addendum 4975.1 — Discovery: In November 2020, anomalous insurance protection was a service offered by Avelar Professional Products Incorporated (APP Inc). The Department of Bureaucracy investigated APP Inc to learn more about their insurance services. The company had been running a successful insurance startup for the last two years, mimicking the Foundation's previous proposals for a stake in the insurance industry.
Foundation Bureaucratic agents reached out to APP Inc in February 2021 in an attempt to build corporate synergy. Foundation personnel compiled a list of reasons why the two organizations should work together, citing the fact that the Foundation has contained 58 different anomalous Avelar products since 2013, preventing PR malfunctions and keeping consumers safe. The company claimed ignorance of any such contained products.
In February 2021, the two organizations negotiated a business deal, which stated that APP Inc would relinquish the rights to their insurance entity (designating it SCP-4975) in exchange for a 7% premium on all insurance deals over the next 10 years. As well, the Foundation would halt containment initiatives against Avelar and return all Avelar items held on a protection basis.
Update: Avelar Professional Products has not returned the Foundation's phone calls.

- "South-Central Protective Services" first appears in SCP-3739 by FloppyPhoenix and KindlyTurtleClem
- Set in the Broken Masquerade Canon
- A conceptual entity is using the Foundation as a means of selling containment insurance, but they allow it because it gives them funding
- Selling containment to civilians (custom containment chambers for your containment needs, self-administered amnestics)
- In the past, the foundation's insurance companies have ALWAYS closed down or gone bankrupt or had some major issue. Here, the same thing happens: the entity eventually breaks down and starts containing normal things like polyglotism and strawberry rhubarb pie

Item #: SCP-3681
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: All Foundation efforts directed towards creating a Foundation insurance front company are to be ceased. Foundation efforts to analyze the insurance industry are to continue unmitigated in an effort to study the properties of SCP-3681 and potentially neutralize it.
Description: SCP-3681 is an anomaly disrupting all Foundation attempts at securing a stake in the insurance industry. Foundation front companies devoted to insurance are unable to operate effectively and are forced to shut down in all cases. This often leads to the loss of extraordinary amounts of Foundation finances and resources, resulting in force redeployment, facility downsizings, and overall loss of morale among Foundation agents planted in affected front companies. This has also led to the loss of numerous currency-based anomalies currently contained by the Foundation, including SCP-2738, SCP-2855, and SCP-3142.
Front companies devoted to insurance are typically dissolved within 180 days of being founded, with the longest time between founding and dissolution at 1150 days. Since the Foundation was founded in ████, approximately 168 Foundation front companies devoted to insurance have been unsuccessful in their establishment.
