We’re proud to announce that Paragon has achieved SOC 2 compliance—a major milestone for us. This is more than just a technical certification; it represents a commitment to protecting the trust, data and relationships that drive our industry.
What Is SOC 2 Compliance?
SOC 2, developed by the AICPA, sets clear standards for managing and securing customer data. The audit evaluates how we handle five key principles: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy. Earning SOC 2 compliance means independent experts have verified that our controls and processes meet, and often surpass, industry expectations for safeguarding sensitive information. The SOC 2 audit was conducted by A-LIGN, the leading provider in cybersecurity compliance trusted by more than 4,000 global organizations to help mitigate cybersecurity risks.
Why This Matters for Insurance Agents and Brokers
For agents and brokers, trust and reliability are fundamental. SOC 2 compliance offers several direct benefits:
- Data Security: You can confidently share and handle client information, knowing our systems protect your data from unauthorized access and breaches.
- Operational Assurance: Our platform is reliable, minimizing downtime and disruptions that could affect your work or client service.
- Regulatory Alignment: Choosing an MGA with SOC 2 compliance supports your own compliance requirements and reassures carriers and clients alike.
- Competitive Advantage: Our proactive investment in security strengthens your pitch to insureds, showing that you partner with a modern, trustworthy MGA.
Why SOC 2 Is a Major Step for an MGA
SOC 2 compliance is more common among large institutions with significant resources. For an MGA—especially one of our size—achieving this standard signals that we do not cut corners when it comes to data protection. MGAs are expected to be nimble, efficient and innovative, but now, we’re leading by example in security as well. This accomplishment sets a new benchmark for what clients and partners can expect from an MGA.
“This accomplishment demonstrates our high level of organizational management and diligence that our partners deserve. We work diligently to make that when you choose to work with Paragon, you’re choosing to work with an MGA that takes your business as serious as you do.”
– John Scully, CTO
