ASNsecure - GLB and HIPAA compliance utility for Insurance Agents

ASN Secure is easy-to-use, quick to set up and very inexpensive.

Thirty-eight years of owning a large multi-line agency taught me some core truths about our highly regulated business. Success depends on three basics:

Legal compliance
Client trust
Following directives from principals, which includes privacy

Recent laws and the Internet have changed our world. The law, client trust and our principals demand we handle regulated electronic information correctly to avoid costly PENALTIES and FINES. Secure electronic communication is a requirement. I use ASN Secure as the solution.

Insurance Agents need ASN Secure

Established agency owners today are concerned with privacy and compliance. Penalties, lawsuits, and State Board complaints arise out of these issues.

Email security is critical. Communication through unsecured channels increases the likelihood of identity theft and risk to the agent. The Government, Principals, Agency owners and Policyholders are concerned with this now.

PENALTIES

FINES

LAWSUITS

STATE BOARD COMPLAINTS

ELECTRONIC LOCKBOX

ASN Secure offers agencies an easy solution for the protection of customer health and financial information as required by State and Federal regulations.

Insurance agents now have the ability to streamline their business while avoiding costly penalties.

ASN Secure works by allowing insurance agents to communicate securely within a public network like the Internet.

Era of Privacy

Identity theft and data piracy have changed the way we conduct our business and handle customer information. This is especially true for insurance agencies. It is the agents responsibility to meet all federal and state regulations regarding security and privacy. Other than the civil and criminal penalties imposed it is critical to your customers that your name and agency demonstrate the capacity to protect their vital information. Here are some keys to protecting customer information:

Use ASN to secure and track the electronic transfer of customer information
ASN Administrator allows you to track your employees and monitor their adherence to compliance requirements
ASN allows your clients to securely respond to your emails.
Only transmit information required to perform your functions as a service provider.
Require all persons follow your established security policies
Dispose of all unnecessary records and equipment that could cause a potential violation

The importance of GLB compliance

Insurance agents are required to implement safeguards designed to protect the privacy and security of personal financial information. Insurance agents are subject to the requirements set forth under GLB Safeguards Rule. They are subject to this requirement because the agent performs a function that includes the use and disclosure of personal financial information.

IN THE NEWS:

New rules make firms track e-mails
New laws now require companies to keep better track of their employees� e-mails, instant messages and other electronic documents in the event the companies are sued, legal experts say. They are part of amendments to federal rules governing civil litigation and were approved by the Supreme Court�s administrative arm in April after a five-year review.

ASN Secure was designed as a complete electronic communication system and can establish Private Domains branded to the client.

ASN Secure provides a way for insurance agents to exchange and track personally identifiable financial information in an easy to understand format. Our system takes the worry out of GLB compliance issues and fulfills a great need in the financial industry. But most importantly our system ensures the privacy of the customers, who are affected the most when personal financial information is not securely transmitted from one party to another.
