Is Your Business Meeting New Insurance Industry Technology Requirements?
Insurance Providers Are Changing the Rules
More insurance carriers are now requiring regular IT maintenance; even if you're not experiencing any active issues. This isn't just a recommendation anymore; it's becoming a mandatory condition for maintaining coverage under HITECH, HIPAA, and other technical compliance standards.
The reason? Preventative maintenance significantly reduces the risk of data breaches, system failures, and costly downtime. Insurance providers recognize that businesses with regular IT check-ups file fewer claims and recover faster from incidents.
PNWC Quarterly Maintenance Visits
To help you stay compliant and protected, we offer comprehensive quarterly maintenance visits that cover everything your insurance provider is likely to require:During each quarterly visit, we will:Check hardware health and identify potential failures before they happen
- Audit and verify backup systems to ensure data recoverability
- Run antivirus and malware scans to catch threats early
- Review and improve system security configurations
- Install critical OS and software updates
- Perform system clean-ups and address any specific concerns
Pricing: Quarterly maintenance visits are charged at our standard hourly rate (business or residential). Many clients find that the cost of preventative maintenance is far less than the cost of emergency repairs; or worse, a denied insurance claim.
IT Disaster Recovery Plans (DRP) May Also Be Required
In addition to regular maintenance, many insurance policies now require businesses to have a formal IT Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) in place. A DRP outlines how your business will respond to IT emergencies, recover critical systems, and maintain operations during disruptions.We can help you with that too. PNWC offers IT Disaster Recovery Planning services to create customized, compliant plans tailored to your specific business needs and insurance requirements.
What You Should Do Next
- Check your insurance policy to verify specific IT maintenance and DRP requirements
- Schedule your quarterly maintenance visit to ensure compliance
- Ask us about creating or updating your IT Disaster Recovery Plan
Don't wait until you file a claim,
