Enhancing data protection compliance for insurance providers

Are you an insurance provider looking to minimise data protection compliance issues and risks? Ensure your stakeholders and customers have complete confidence in you by leveraging our expertise in data protection for insurance providers.

With our extensive experience working closely with insurance companies, we possess a strong understanding of the challenges you face in safeguarding sensitive data while maintaining compliance with stringent regulations.

As insurers, you are entrusted with sensitive data such as policyholder details, claims information, medical records and financial transactions. Protecting this data by ensuring its confidentiality, integrity and availability is crucial not only for maintaining customer trust but also for complying with evolving data protection laws and regulations.

How can we help you?

Supplier audits

You share the personal and sensitive data with your trusted third parties to deliver the best service to your customers. Under the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), you are obliged to monitor these data processors to ensure that they are protecting the data in accordance with your contract.

We can conduct full data protection audits of your suppliers. Simply give us your supplier list and we will take care of the rest:

1.

Allocating risk levels – each supplier will have a different risk level depending on its business and the data it processes.

Takes the legwork out of supplier audits.

2.

Designing audit templates and an audit schedule tailored to your business needs and the nature of the processing.

All of our auditors are experienced in maintaining supplier relationships.

3.

Conducting the audits via a form, a phone call or an in-person visit, depending on the supplier’s risk level.

Clear reports you can share with suppliers if you want.

4.

Reporting the results back to you, including remediation actions if the audit finds anything amiss.

We will also audit against other contractual requirements if requested.

Our audits are designed following the ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 standards. ISO 27001 is the international standard for ISMSs (information security management systems). ISO 27701 is an extension to ISO 27001 that focuses on privacy information management, and includes guidelines for data protection in supply chains.

By following these standards, organisations can ensure that they have a robust information security framework in place, and that they comply with privacy regulations.

GDPR Gap Analysis Service

A gap analysis isn’t just for organisations at the beginning of a compliance journey. We regularly offer our customers our GDPR Gap Analysis Service as a pause and regroup exercise, allowing a compliance team to reprioritise. Within an insurance provider, the remit of data protection compliance is all-encompassing, so it can be hard to understand where to focus your efforts.

Our experienced consultants will perform a gap analysis to identify where GDPR compliance could be stronger, deliver an actionable plan and offer the opportunity for follow-up advice.

Service benefits:

Get an up-to-date view of your GDPR compliance position.

Can be tailored to cover more than just the GDPR.

Clear, actionable steps to make remediation quicker and easier.

Interim and seconded consultants

Do you need support with team management, specific projects or business-as-usual workload? An interim consultant is the perfect way to get temporary support without adding to your headcount.

Working closely with insurance providers, we have encountered common pain points such as data subject rights management, data breach prevention and response, consent management and data retention policies. Our consultants can support with anything you need from hands-on project delivery to managing a compliance team.

Service benefits:

An expert addition to your team without the need for lengthy recruitment processes.

Available from a few weeks to several years.

Able to manage complex projects or cover a skills gap.
