An Insurance Self-Network Platform (ISNP) Audit is an assessment of the security and compliance of an insurance company’s self-service network platform. This type of audit is typically performed by internal or external auditors and is designed to identify any vulnerabilities or risks that could compromise the security or confidentiality of the company’s sensitive data or impact the company’s ability to comply with industry regulations.

The ISNP Audit process typically involves a review of the company’s security controls, including access controls, data encryption, and incident response procedures. It also includes an assessment of the platform’s compliance with relevant industry regulations such as HIPAA, GLBA, and the PCI Data Security Standard.

The audit will include a review of the network infrastructure, firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and other security devices that are in place to protect the network. Additionally, an assessment of the company’s security policies and procedures, and the level of security awareness among employees, may be conducted.

Overall, an ISNP Audit is a critical step in ensuring that an insurance company’s self-service network platform is secure and compliant, and that the company is able to protect its sensitive data and its customers’ data from potential security breaches.

There are several different methodologies that can be used to conduct an Insurance Self-Network Platform (ISNP) Audit. Some of the most common methodologies include:

1. Penetration Testing: This methodology involves simulating an attack on the network to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses that could be exploited by an attacker.
2. Risk Assessment: This methodology involves identifying and evaluating the risks associated with the network, including the likelihood and impact of security breaches.
3. Compliance Audit: This methodology involves reviewing the network to ensure that it is following relevant industry regulations, such as HIPAA, GLBA, and the PCI Data Security Standard.
4. Security Control Assessment: This methodology involves evaluating the effectiveness of the network’s security controls, including access controls, data encryption, and incident response procedures.
5. Social Engineering: This methodology involves attempting to trick employees into divulging sensitive information or providing unauthorized access to the network.

Each methodologies have its own strengths and weaknesses, and the choice of methodology will depend on the specific objectives of the audit and the resources available to conduct the audit. In any case, these methodologies will help to identify vulnerabilities and potential risks in the network and provide recommendations for improving security.

Insurance Self-Network Platform (ISNP) Audits have several benefits, including:

The deliverables of an ISNP Audit typically include a report that summarizes the findings of the audit, including any vulnerabilities and risks identified, and recommendations for improving security. The report should also include the compliance status of the company with relevant industry regulations. Additionally, the audit may include a remediation plan outlining the steps the company needs to take to address any vulnerabilities or non-compliances identified. The results of the audit shall be  discussed with the company’s management and IT teams to ensure that the appropriate action is taken to address any issues identified.
