Cybersecurity for Des Moines insurance agencies.
Des Moines is the insurance capital of the Midwest — and one of the most under-served security markets in the country. We build NAIC / Iowa Insurance Data Security Act-ready programs for Iowa agencies: a WISP that holds up, MFA on every carrier portal, 72-hour breach readiness, and a partner who already speaks insurance.

Why a Des Moines Agency Needs This Now
Dense agency market. Thin security coverage. Active regulation.
The three forces that make Iowa agencies both a target and an opportunity.
Iowa is the most under-served security market in the country
The West North Central region — Iowa included — has the lowest density of managed-security professionals of any US region. The result: most Des Moines agencies are served from out of state, by a generalist local IT shop, or by no one. We close that gap.
We map your WISP to the Iowa Insurance Data Security Act
Iowa adopted the NAIC Insurance Data Security Model Law. That means a written information security program, an annual risk assessment, MFA on systems holding non-public information, vendor due diligence, and breach notification to the Iowa Insurance Division. We build the program against Iowa's specific version.
We speak agency — Applied Epic, AMS360, Hawksoft, EZLynx
From the AMS to the carrier portal to the wholesaler, we know the workflows Des Moines agencies actually run on. No translator required, and controls tuned so they don't break how your producers work.
