Bookkeeping for Insurance Brokers

Think about this: Who in your brokerage can access sensitive client data? Who can process payments? Who can view financial reports? If you're not immediately sure, you're not alone—and you might be facing a significant security risk.

Here are some stats about security breaches -

• 60% of data breaches involve internal access
• 45% of brokerages lack proper access controls
• 30% of staff have unnecessary system access
• 40% of security incidents stem from excessive permissions

 

Beyond Basic Password Protection

Traditional Security Methods:
❌ Single login for multiple users
❌ Shared passwords
❌ All-or-nothing access
❌ Manual security tracking
