Vicarious liability refers to an indirect legal responsibility held by an organization for the actions or omissions of its employees or agents. This is particularly relevant in the security industry when an enterprise employs or contracts security personnel. If those personnel cause harm or violate rights while performing their duties, the employer can be held liable—even if the employer did not directly engage in the act.

Strict (A) refers to liability without fault.

Negligence (B) is direct liability due to carelessness.

Loose (D) is not a recognized legal term.
