IT Support for Insurance Agencies
Managed IT services for insurance agencies, built around what Connecticut actually asks of a licensed producer: your agency management system fast and available, policyholder data protected, and the information security program the state's insurance data security law expects. ASG has served Connecticut businesses, insurance agencies among them, since 1997.
- ✓Your agency management system and carrier connections monitored as the systems you write business on
- ✓An information security program built to what Connecticut asks of a licensee
- ✓A rehearsed incident-response plan, because the Commissioner's clock is three business days
- ✓Layered defense around policyholder PII, with 24/7 monitoring behind it
- ✓An engineer answers in about four rings, and first response on tickets averages seven minutes
- ✓Cyber-insurance-ready controls, documented, with the evidence behind each one
Built around your industry's realities
Connecticut's Insurance Rule
Connecticut's insurance data security law names producers directly. It wants a written program built on a documented risk assessment, and your virtual CIO owns it.
Three-Day Clock
A cybersecurity event has to reach the Insurance Commissioner within three business days, not the sixty-day clock most breach laws run on. We build and rehearse the plan beforehand.
Agency Platform Uptime
Quoting, servicing, and carrier downloads all run through one platform. We run everything around it: workstations, the network path to carriers, backups, and remote access.
Wire-Fraud Defense
Premium payments and policyholder identities move through email. Microsoft 365 managed to best practice, the email authentication records (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) configured, and display-name spoofing watched for.

In their own words, on what our IT support for insurance agencies looks like years into the relationship.
One partner for everything your agency runs on
Pick the engagement model that fits your team. Security and backup are in the seat price, and the rest of what we run stays under one team with one point of accountability.
How ASG runs IT for an insurance agency
The same model we put in front of you in a proposal, sized for an agency: four dedicated functions reaching from a producer's laptop up to the yearly technology budget, with security and your written program through the middle of all of it.

Where GLBA and the state law meet
Agencies are financial institutions under GLBA (the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act), and the control list behind it is the same one Connecticut's insurance data security law expects: a written program, a named accountable person, multi-factor authentication, encryption, vendor oversight. One project, not two.
Other frameworks insurance agencies run into
AI & Automation for Insurance Agencies
