Core Business
How defend-id Business Protection Helps Independent Agents & Brokers
Independent agencies already carry data security duties. Under state versions of the NAIC Insurance Data Security Model Law, licensees must run a written information security program built on a risk assessment, oversee the vendors that touch client data, train their staff, keep a written incident response plan, and notify the state insurance commissioner within 72 hours of determining that a cybersecurity event has occurred. Most agencies have no dedicated IT or compliance team to do that work. defend-id gives them the working pieces in one platform:
-
Risk assessment: recurring threat scanning and visibility into the agency's external risk.
-
Vendor oversight: Vendor Management tracks every vendor with access to sensitive client data.
-
Staff training: short employee sessions on phishing, password hygiene, and other common threats.
-
Written policies: Policy Center keeps policies current and audit-ready.
-
Incident response: 24/7 breach support, where experts validate the incident and guide the agency through a plan, with legal guidance available.
-
Employee protection: optional identity theft protection for agency staff.
defend-id helps agencies organize, assign, and document the work behind their obligations, so the owner can focus on serving clients.
