Socotra’s flexible platform and open APIs empowered Elpha Secure to self-implement in record time
Elpha Secure, a cybersecurity startup that provides cyber insurance combined with security software to small businesses, has chosen Socotra to complement its proprietary technology and launch a new cyber insurance product for a variety of industries.
In order to bring its new product to market, Elpha Secure needed a modern platform that could integrate with its front-end system and other capabilities. Legacy policy administration systems are often too rigid and overly customized for ambitious managing general agents (MGAs) like Elpha Secure to innovate and keep pace with customer expectations. Socotra, on the other hand, was the only cloud-native platform with public API documentation and a powerful data model that could enable Elpha Secure to launch rapidly and within budget.

“Socotra’s flexible policy core and open APIs allowed the Elpha Secure team to seamlessly integrate our proprietary systems and reduce our deployment timeline and costs,” said Elpha Secure CEO Preetam Dutta. “We can now provide multiple options for personalized quotes through a streamlined digital interface. This really shows the power and promise of Socotra’s platform—it has helped us bolster our user experience with a transparent and intuitive insurance process that ultimately benefits every party.”
Elpha Secure initially took advantage of Socotra’s 30-day free trial and then easily transitioned to a self-service implementation approach. The MGA has launched a robust cyber insurance product that covers business interruption, financial and data losses (including ransomware), and third-party cybercrime lawsuits for its growing client base in all 50 states. Brokers can get a quote in seconds through a streamlined, digital application and underwriting process.

Insurers everywhere are noticing what is now possible.”
