The Technology Struggles Facing Insurance Agencies

Common IT Challenges for Insurance Agents

Data Security Threats

Insurance firms store personal and financial data that makes them prime targets for phishing, ransomware, and breaches. A single attack can damage client trust and trigger penalties.

Compliance Demands

Agencies must comply with GLBA, NAIC model laws, and state privacy regulations. Without strong IT policies and reporting, firms risk failed audits, fines, and reputational harm.

Remote Workforce

Agents often work from client offices or home, requiring secure access to claims and policy systems. Without proper safeguards, remote work increases exposure to cyber risks.

Legacy Systems

Many agencies rely on outdated software and infrastructure. These legacy systems slow productivity, create inefficiencies, and open vulnerabilities for cybercriminals to exploit.
