Why Security Matters in Premium Auditing

Premium audits require access to a wide range of sensitive records — payroll, tax documents, subcontractor agreements, and employee classifications, to name a few. These are not just numbers on a spreadsheet. They are critical pieces of your business operations and financial integrity.

If those records were mishandled, intercepted, or exposed, the consequences could be severe. Businesses could face compliance violations, financial losses, or even reputational harm. For insurance carriers, a single lapse in data security can undermine trust with policyholders and regulators alike.

That’s why ISG treats security as a foundational part of every audit. We’ve built a system where confidentiality, accuracy, and trust go hand in hand. Every layer of our process — from how auditors access files to how we store completed reports — is designed with protection in mind

Our Security Framework

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Every system we use requires multi-factor authentication. This adds an additional step of verification beyond a password, making it much harder for unauthorized users to gain access. Only the right people can log in, every time.

End-to-End Encryption

When you share information with ISG, it is protected by end-to-end encryption. That means your data is converted into secure code the moment it leaves your system, and it stays that way until it is opened by an authorized ISG auditor. Even if intercepted in transit, the information would be unreadable.

Encryption at Rest and In Transit

Many companies focus on encryption while data moves across the internet. ISG takes it further. We also encrypt information “at rest”, meaning while it sits on our servers. This dual protection closes the gap and ensures your data is secure whether it’s moving or stored.

Guided by NIST CSF 2.0

Our security program follows the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0. This framework is widely recognized as the gold standard for managing cybersecurity risk. By using it as our guide, we ensure our practices cover prevention, detection, response, and recovery.

Secure Document Storage

Auditors never download sensitive information to personal computers. Instead, all audit work is performed on highly secure, cloud-based document repositories. These environments are locked down, monitored, and controlled,  giving us complete visibility and reducing risks of leaks or unauthorized access.

How Security Shapes the Audit Experience

Security at ISG isn’t just a background process — it directly shapes the way you experience an audit.

Controlled Access

Your audit files are only accessible to the team members assigned to your project. We tightly restrict who can see what, minimizing exposure and keeping your data in trusted hands.

Secure Communication

We use encrypted channels for every exchange of files or information. No unsecured email attachments, no public file shares — everything flows through protected systems.

Integrated Quality Control

Our review processes are designed to maintain accuracy while keeping data secure. Each audit is checked by specialists without overexposing information or circulating files unnecessarily.

Continuous Monitoring

 Our systems are constantly monitored to detect suspicious activity. We don’t just react to threats; we proactively stop them before they can impact our clients.

Client Portal Security

Access to our easy-to-use client facing data portal is secured with SSL and TLS encryption. The portal integrates with Microsoft 365 based identity management ensuring enterprise grade protection with features such as multi-factor authentication (MFA) matching your organization's own internal requirements.

For clients, this means peace of mind. You don’t need to worry about how your information is handled, you just see a seamless, professional audit process.

Trust and Transparency

ISG serves a wide range of clients, from carriers that need a single audit to large carriers managing thousands. While the scale varies, the expectation is always the same: complete confidence that sensitive information will be protected.

We believe that trust is earned, and one way we earn it is by being transparent about how we safeguard client data. We don’t cut corners, and we don’t rely on outdated systems. Our team undergoes ongoing training, and our systems are continuously updated to address new threats.

Security at ISG is not a department. It is a mindset that permeates our entire organization. Every auditor, every support team member, every system, all are aligned with a culture of protection and confidentiality.

Security at ISG isn’t a department. It’s a mindset.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is security such a big deal in premium audits?

Audits involve financial and employee records that, if compromised, could lead to fraud, identity theft, or compliance violations. Strong security ensures that businesses and carriers can exchange data without unnecessary risk.

What exactly is “end-to-end encryption”?

It’s a method of securing data so that only the sender and the intended recipient can read it. Even if the information is intercepted in transit, it cannot be decoded without the proper keys.

What’s the difference between encryption “in transit” and “at rest”?

“In transit” means the data is protected while moving, such as when being uploaded or downloaded. “At rest” means the data is protected while stored on a server or in a database. ISG uses both to cover every scenario.

What does it mean that ISG follows NIST CSF 2.0 best practices?

NIST CSF 2.0 is a nationally recognized framework for managing cybersecurity. It guides organizations through five key functions: identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover. ISG’s adherence to this framework means we operate with a structured, tested approach to keeping client data safe.
