Examinations

At The INS Companies our IT professionals specialize in conducting IT assessments in conjunction with financial and market regulation examinations. Our team has in-depth knowledge to assess an insurer’s IT environment and its effectiveness, which is integral to delivering an efficient examination.

Cybersecurity

Our IT professionals provide state regulators with an assessment of cyber safeguards through our internally developed framework. Our framework integrates NAIC regulatory standards with the guidance established by the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST), European Network and Information Security Agency (ENIS) for Cybersecurity and guidelines for safeguarding Personal Health Information as established in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 45 Part 164-Security and Privacy. This value added hybrid framework provides greater assurance to existing examination procedures in addition to assessing evolving risk.
