Cybersecurity & Managed IT Services for Insurance Agencies in Texas

Insurance agencies sit at the intersection of personal, financial, and health data — making them exceptionally attractive targets for cyberattacks. A single agency may hold Social Security numbers, bank account details, driver’s license information, medical records, and detailed financial histories for thousands of policyholders. This data concentration creates significant risk, and cybercriminals increasingly target independent agencies and brokerages that may lack enterprise-grade security.

CoreRecon delivers managed IT and cybersecurity services designed for the insurance industry’s regulatory requirements and operational realities. We protect your agency’s data, your clients’ trust, and your compliance with state and industry security mandates.

Cybersecurity Threats Facing Insurance Agencies

Insurance agencies face a diverse threat landscape. Business email compromise (BEC) attacks target premium payments, commission transfers, and claim disbursements. Ransomware campaigns encrypt agency management systems and client databases. Social engineering attacks exploit the high-trust relationships between agents and their clients. And data exfiltration attacks harvest PII for identity theft and insurance fraud schemes.

The consequences of a breach extend beyond immediate financial losses. Texas Department of Insurance reporting requirements, client notification obligations, carrier relationship damage, and reputational harm can threaten an agency’s survival. Insurance carriers increasingly require their agency partners to demonstrate specific cybersecurity controls before granting system access.

CoreRecon’s incident response team provides rapid containment, investigation, and recovery. We help agencies navigate TDI reporting, policyholder notification, and carrier communication during security incidents.

NAIC Model Law and Texas Insurance Cybersecurity Requirements

The NAIC Insurance Data Security Model Law establishes cybersecurity requirements for insurance licensees, including written information security programs, risk assessments, incident response plans, and third-party service provider management. Texas insurance regulations impose additional cybersecurity requirements on licensed agencies. And carriers increasingly require specific controls — MFA, EDR, email security, backup verification — before granting agency access to their systems. CoreRecon helps agencies implement programs that satisfy all overlapping requirements.

Our services include agency management system (AMS) support for platforms like Applied Epic, Vertafore, and HawkSoft, carrier connectivity and real-time rating system support, secure cloud migration and hosting, VoIP and communications systems, endpoint management with encryption, backup, and disaster recovery, and responsive help desk support.
