IT Support for Insurance & Underwriting in Brent

Specialist IT support for insurers, syndicates, and MGAs who need a provider that understands the market you operate in.

Insurance Expertise

We understand the specific IT challenges and compliance requirements facing insurance businesses in London.

Tailored Packages

Bespoke it support packages designed specifically for the insurance sector, aligned with your business goals.

London Based

Centrally located in the City of London, providing rapid on-site response and local support for insurance firms.

London insurance firms need IT support from a provider that understands underwriting platforms, claims processing systems, Lloyd's market technology, and the regulatory environment you operate in. We deliver specialist IT support for insurers, syndicates, MGAs, and brokers, with the technical expertise and market knowledge to keep your operations running smoothly.

Insurance IT is not general office support. Your teams rely on specialist underwriting platforms, claims management systems, actuarial modelling tools, and Lloyd's market interfaces that generic IT providers struggle to support effectively. From our City of London base, we provide proactive, insurance-aware IT support that keeps your critical systems running, maintains the data quality your Solvency II reporting depends on, and delivers the responsiveness your underwriters and claims handlers need during market hours.

IT Support for Insurance

What is managed IT support?

Understanding the difference between reactive break-fix and proactive managed IT — and why it matters for your insurance business.

Beyond break-fix

Managed IT support is a proactive approach to maintaining your business technology. Rather than waiting for something to break and then calling for help, a managed IT support provider continuously monitors, maintains and optimises your entire IT environment — preventing issues before they cause downtime, data loss or productivity drops.

With a managed IT support service, your insurance business gets access to a full team of qualified IT engineers, an IT helpdesk for day-to-day issues, scheduled maintenance to keep systems healthy, and strategic guidance to align your technology with your business goals — all for a predictable monthly cost.

Who is it for?

Managed IT support is ideal for insurance businesses that don't have a dedicated internal IT department, or businesses that want to supplement their existing IT staff with specialist expertise and overflow capacity. Outsourced IT support gives you the coverage and capability of an entire IT team at a fraction of the cost of hiring in-house.

Whether you're a 10-person insurance office or a 200-person company, our IT support packages scale to match. We handle the technology so you can focus on running your business.

Our support plan

Proactive monitoring, security, maintenance and expert helpdesk support — everything your insurance business needs to run without IT headaches.

01

Monitoring

Ongoing performance monitoring of your devices to establish baselines, deliver alerts when business-critical services stop working and provide transparent accountability on network health. We monitor any number of critical processes depending on your chosen support package.

02

Managed Anti-Virus

Software and service inclusive security — real-time protection from malware, viruses, Trojans, spyware and rootkits. Through our console we identify and respond to threats in real time, often before you're aware of them and before they can spread across your network.

03

Patch Management

Microsoft operating system and Office application patches managed across your environment in accordance with your update policy. We maintain central records of device patch history, reducing interruptions and keeping your staff working at peak efficiency with up-to-date, secure systems.

04

Scheduled Maintenance

Regular defragmentation, disk clean-ups, critical system log review, cache clean-ups and monitoring maintenance. Essential for a stable, optimised environment — reducing interruptions, maintaining performance and extending the life of your equipment to maximise your investment.

05

Remote Support

Helpdesk engineers available 8:30am to 6pm (UK time) via email, phone or web portal. Your dedicated team includes L1 engineers certified for desktop operating systems and L2 engineers fully certified for server, network and cloud platforms. All issues tracked and logged for consistent results.

06

Onsite Support

Whether you need infrequent on-demand visits or regular scheduled onsite presence, we tailor a support package to suit. Through our onsite management service we ensure peace of mind, increased staff productivity and enhanced IT performance across your business.

07

Dedicated Account Manager

A dedicated account manager allocated to you for an ongoing, direct point of contact and a superior level of support. No chasing numbers or people — one person who knows your business, your infrastructure and your priorities inside out.

08

Vendor Management

We manage relationships with your technology vendors and service providers on your behalf — liaising with ISPs, software vendors, hardware suppliers and cloud providers. One point of contact for all your IT needs, so you never have to chase third parties yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about it support for insurance businesses. If you need more detail, get in touch.

Do you understand the Lloyd's market and syndicate technology requirements?

Yes. We support Lloyd's syndicates, managing agents, and coverholders across London. We understand Lloyd's market messaging, placing platforms, and the specific technology standards Lloyd's requires, including the ongoing Blueprint Two modernisation programme.

Can you help with Solvency II data and reporting requirements?

We ensure your IT infrastructure supports accurate, timely data aggregation for Solvency II reporting. This includes maintaining data integrity across underwriting, claims, and finance systems, implementing proper backup and retention policies, and supporting your actuarial and finance teams with reliable technology.

How do you handle legacy system migration in insurance?

We plan and execute phased migrations that modernise your technology without disrupting live underwriting or claims operations. We maintain parallel running periods, comprehensive data migration testing, and rollback plans to ensure business continuity throughout the transition.

What insurance-specific cyber threats should we be concerned about?

Insurance firms face targeted phishing campaigns exploiting policy and claims data, ransomware attacks aimed at disrupting operations, and data theft targeting the sensitive personal, medical, and financial information you hold. We implement layered security controls addressing these specific threat vectors.
