Faraday, Lloyds Underwriters, deployed RiskXchange from Northdoor to control delegated authority supply chain cyber risk
“We chose the RiskXchange platform to enhance and automate security governance of our delegated authorities.
As well as supporting security and regulatory compliance, it removes a lot of the burden from both ourselves and our DAs.”
Compliance Manager, Faraday.
The challenge
As one of Lloyd’s of London’s largest syndicates, Faraday underwrites a diverse range of risks worldwide, developing close and mutually supportive relationships with clients and brokers in their chosen markets. Their customers are at the heart of everything they do. To serve the needs of their customers they rely on a network of delegated authorities, or coverholders, to provide the insurance products and services.
To meet the Lloyd’s Minimum Standards, compliance requirements, and protect Faraday’s data, systems and reputation they need to ensure their delegated authorities have appropriate cyber security processes, controls and technology in place. Typically this was done via a lengthy, questionnaire-based process that was prone to delays and lacking in critical insight – leaving Faraday potentially open to cyber attack via their supply chain.
