Insurance brokers, this one's for you. π―
The FCA expects firms to have robust operational resilience in place β and that includes your IT.
If your systems went down tomorrow, could your team still serve clients? Could you access policy records, process renewals, respond to claims?
For many brokers we speak to, the honest answer is: they're not sure.
That's not a criticism β IT resilience is rarely top of the agenda when you're focused on running a brokerage. But it's becoming harder to ignore.
A few questions worth asking your current IT provider:
β
Do we have a tested backup and recovery plan?
β
Are our systems monitored proactively or only fixed when they break?
β
How quickly could we be back up and running after an outage?
If you're not getting clear answers, it might be time to ask someone who can give them.
We offer a free 30-minute IT review specifically for insurance brokerages.
