Managed IT for
Insurance Firms Compliant. Secure.
Producers Always On.

Insurance agencies handle some of the most sensitive personal and financial data in any industry โ€” Social Security numbers, health histories, financial statements, and policy details on every client. NY DFS Part 500, the NAIC cybersecurity model law, and state insurance department regulations require insurers and licensees to maintain robust cybersecurity programs. Gradius delivers managed IT built for insurance agencies โ€” regulatory-ready, policyholder data secured, and agency management systems supported so your producers stay productive and your firm stays compliant.

What You Get

What Insurance Firms Get When IT Is Built Around the Agency

Insurance agencies manage sensitive policyholder data, operate under state cybersecurity regulations, and run on agency management systems that can't go down mid-renewal. Here's exactly what Gradius delivers for insurance firms across NJ, NY & CT.

NY DFS Part 500 & NAIC Compliance โ€” Built & Maintained
NY DFS Part 500 requires covered entities to maintain a cybersecurity program with annual certifications, risk assessments, and incident reporting. The NAIC model cybersecurity law mirrors these requirements in NJ and CT. Gradius builds your program, documents all controls, and keeps you compliant through every annual certification cycle.
Policyholder PII & NPI Protected at Every Layer
SSNs, health information, financial records, and policy details โ€” the nonpublic personal information in your agency management system is exactly what ransomware groups and data brokers target. Encrypted storage, access controls, endpoint protection, and a 24/7 SOC keep policyholder data secured and your agency out of regulatory breach investigations.
Agency Management System Support โ€” Applied Epic, AMS360 & More
Applied Epic, Vertafore AMS360, HawkSoft, QQ Catalyst, and other agency management platforms โ€” supported and maintained. Our engineers understand how your AMS integrates with your carrier portals, document storage, and workflow so issues are resolved by people who know your operation, not just your network.
Producer Uptime โ€” Every Renewal, Every Quote
When producers can't access carrier portals, quote tools, or the agency management system during a renewal crunch, revenue stops. Our NOC monitors every critical system 24/7 and resolves issues proactively so producer downtime is rare โ€” and when it does happen, it's measured in minutes, not hours.

FAQ

Common Questions About Managed IT for Insurance Firms

Our managed IT for insurance agencies includes: NY DFS Part 500 and NAIC cybersecurity compliance program development and maintenance, annual certification support, policyholder PII and NPI protection, agency management system support (Applied Epic, Vertafore AMS360, HawkSoft, QQ Catalyst, and others), carrier portal access management, encrypted client file management, ransomware defense, 24/7 NOC monitoring, endpoint protection, immutable backup, and fast help desk support โ€” all under a flat monthly rate per producer with no per-incident billing.

NY DFS Part 500 requires covered entities โ€” including insurance producers and agencies licensed in New York โ€” to maintain a cybersecurity program with specific documented controls: a risk assessment, cybersecurity policy, access controls, audit trails, encryption, incident response plan, and an annual certification of compliance filed with the DFS. Gradius builds every component of this program, implements the required technical controls, maintains documentation throughout the year, and prepares your annual certification filing. For NJ and CT agencies subject to the NAIC model cybersecurity law, we maintain the same standard across all applicable state requirements.

Yes. We support all major agency management platforms used by NJ, NY & CT insurance agencies โ€” including Applied Epic, Vertafore AMS360, HawkSoft, QQ Catalyst, Nexsure, Indio, EZLynx, and others. Our engineers understand how these platforms integrate with carrier portals, ACORD workflows, document management systems, and Microsoft 365 โ€” so we resolve issues efficiently instead of telling you to call the AMS vendor for everything that touches the network.

Policyholder PII and NPI โ€” Social Security numbers, health information, financial data, policy details โ€” is protected through multiple layers: encrypted storage in your agency management system and document repositories, encrypted email for client communications, role-based access controls limiting staff to only the client records they need, multi-factor authentication on all accounts and carrier portals, endpoint protection on every device, and immutable off-site backup. Our 24/7 SOC monitors for unauthorized access attempts and behavioral indicators of a breach in real time. In the event of an incident, our documented incident response plan supports your state notification obligations.

Yes. We support single-location agencies, multi-office agencies, and distributed teams with remote producers across NJ, NY & CT and beyond. For multi-location agencies, we standardize cybersecurity controls and NY DFS Part 500 compliance documentation across all offices under a single program. For remote producers, we configure and manage secure remote access, endpoint protection, and multi-factor authentication โ€” ensuring every device that accesses your AMS and carrier portals meets your compliance requirements regardless of location.

No long-term lock-ins. We offer month-to-month and annual agreements โ€” your agency's choice. Insurance agencies stay with Gradius because their NY DFS Part 500 compliance is current, their producers stay productive, and IT stops being a source of operational and regulatory risk. We earn the renewal every month through performance.
