Unencrypted customer emails, manual claims data, and the pressure of DORA: many data processes in insurance are more laborious and risky than necessary. Yet secure data exchange – from personal customer data to financial and health-related information – has long been a legal requirement. GDPR strictly mandates the protection of personal data, and the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) further tightens the requirements for secure ICT systems. Failure to meet these standards risks fines, legal repercussions, and a permanent loss of customer trust.

The good news: data protection during the exchange of sensitive information and process efficiency are not mutually exclusive. FTAPI supports insurances in reliably protecting the exchange of sensitive information and fulfilling current compliance requirements. Sensitive data remains encrypted and traceable during exchange with customers, partners, and authorities. Underlying processes – such as data intake, preparation, and documentation – run automatically. You meet compliance requirements, reduce operative costs, and maintain the trust of your customers.

Data exchange for insurance: maintaining compliance and accelerating processes. Reduce administrative effort and ensure full data sovereignty through transparency and traceability.

Secure and easily encrypted

Sensitive data remains protected when exchanged with customers and partners – through end-to-end encryption that meets DORA and GDPR requirements.

Reliable access controls

Comprehensive authentication and permission controls ensure that only authorised employees can access data. This minimises the risk of data misuse.

Full traceability

FTAPI enables comprehensive logging and traceability of all data transactions. This enables insurance companies and banks to carry out detailed documentation and audits.

Ensure data protection in many areas easily. Secure internal communication and data exchange with customers or partners.

Save time with automated workflows

Do you regularly send sensitive contract information, such as leasing or policy documents, to your customers? You can use FTAPI SecuFlows Advanced to automatically read this information from your core system and deliver it securely to recipients. This noticeably shortens processing times for claims and reduces the cost per case.

By capturing data in a structured way and transferring it directly to your DMS, you process claims without manual steps. Your staff spend less time typing or sorting information – instead, they act as problem solvers for cases where their expertise is truly required. Additionally, you protect your IT from attacks: the system automatically checks customer uploads for viruses.

Faster exchange during claims processing

Contract documents, claims records and expert reports often contain confidential financial, legal or private details. With FTAPI SecuRooms, you can transfer these documents securely between insurers, customers, experts and workshops, and archive them in an audit-proof manner.

For legal documents such as pleadings, reports or court records, protection against third-party access is essential. Confidentiality and data integrity are maintained through encrypted and legally secure communication.

Protecting sensitive data

As an insurer, you regularly exchange customer data and personal information with clients, banks, tax authorities or other institutions – for identification, contract processing or enquiries. The FTAPI platform reliably protects this information throughout the entire transmission process. This allows you to minimise risks such as data misuse or identity theft and consistently comply with all data protection and insurance regulations.

Privacy guaranteed

Data is exchanged with doctors, hospitals, pharmacies and experts for health and life insurance – for example, for claims assessment or premium rating. This information is among the most sensitive of all. It is transmitted in encrypted form via the FTAPI platform and stored exclusively in certified German data centres – in full compliance with GDPR.
