Security and compliance your policyholders can trust
Your agency runs on trust and on sensitive client data. We keep your systems secure, your policyholder information protected, and your agency lined up with NYDFS 500 and state insurance law, across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
IT and cybersecurity built for the way agencies are regulated
Insurance agencies hold exactly what attackers want and exactly what regulators watch. Client Social Security numbers, financial records, and sometimes health details. We secure that environment end to end, identity, endpoints, email, and cloud, and keep the everyday systems your producers rely on running smoothly.
Just as important, we make the compliance side defensible. If the New York Department of Financial Services licenses you, you are a Covered Entity under 23 NYCRR 500. We put the required controls in place, keep the documentation current, and stand with you when a regulator, a carrier, or a client asks hard questions.

Where insurance agencies meet the regulator
If the New York Department of Financial Services licenses you, and it licenses agencies and brokers, 23 NYCRR 500 sets out what your program has to include. Multifactor authentication, encryption, continuous monitoring, a written incident response plan, reporting a cyber event within 72 hours, and an annual certification. In Connecticut, the Insurance Data Security Law asks for a written security program and breach notification, and New York’s SHIELD Act requires reasonable protection for any resident whose data you hold.
We treat all of it as engineering work rather than paperwork. The controls get implemented, the evidence gets collected as it happens, and the documentation is current on the day a regulator or a carrier asks, not reconstructed the week before.
IT services for insurance agencies, answered
Does NYDFS 500 apply to my agency?
If the New York Department of Financial Services licenses you, and it licenses agencies and brokers, you are a Covered Entity. Some small agencies qualify for a limited exemption, but you still have to meet core requirements like multifactor authentication, a risk assessment, and incident reporting. We help you figure out your status and meet what applies.
Can you protect us from phishing and business email compromise?
Yes. We layer email authentication, anti phishing, and identity controls, and help you put verification steps around the requests that matter, the combination that stops the fraud aimed at agencies.
We are a small agency. Do we really need this?
Yes. You hold the same sensitive client data a large agency does, and attackers go after small offices because they assume you are easier. The right controls keep you compliant and insurable without an enterprise budget.
Can you help us pass a carrier or cyber insurance review?
It is one of the top reasons agencies call us. We match your setup to the questionnaire, close the gaps, and hand you the documentation to answer it honestly.
