The Baldwin Group Introduces API-Connected Underwriting Platform Cyber Navigator

The Baldwin Group and digital commercial brokerage firm Limit announce a strategic collaboration to launch Cyber Navigator - The Baldwin Group’s first in-house digital placement platform

The Baldwin Group, the go-to-market brand name for The Baldwin Insurance Group, Inc. (“Baldwin” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: BWIN), an independent insurance distribution firm delivering tailored solutions to a wide range of personal and commercial clients, today announced the launch of Cyber Navigator - its Application Program Interface (API)-connected placement platform.

Cyber Navigator revolutionizes the process for procuring cyber insurance with its elevated technology capabilities. Participating business insurance buyers will be able to complete a dynamic, collaborative, digital application that connects instantly via API to underwriting platforms. Quote options are available within minutes with bespoke coverage including state-of-the-art enhancements. The platform also provides a competitive cost analysis and comparison of terms and conditions.

“Companies can no longer afford to endure a drawn-out process to obtain coverage for their riskiest exposure. Cyber risk is at the forefront of any executive’s mind across all industry classes and company sizes,” said Dan Galbraith, President, The Baldwin Group and CEO, Retail Brokerage Operations. “The Baldwin Group now has a speedy solution to place best-in-class coverage with proven, clear and concise options. Cyber Navigator provides executives with reliable insurance solutions that support easier submission and quick quoting capabilities that other brokers can’t offer.”

Cyber Navigator is powered through a collaboration with Limit, a market-leading digital commercial brokerage and software provider. The hallmark of this technology is the access it provides to reputable cyber insurance company partners. The Baldwin Group already has relationships in place with six carriers at its launch including Beazley Insurance Company, CFC, Chubb, Corvus, Cowbell, and Tokio Marine HCC.

“Cyber Navigator allows us to provide cyber insurance in a revolutionary manner,” said Emily Selck, Senior Director, National Cyber Practice Leader, Cyber Center of Excellence, The Baldwin Group. “Gone are the days when clients feel powerless in their management of cyber risk. Not only do they have easy access to comprehensive insurance solutions, they are able to do so with ease in the application process and the security of excellent insurance carrier partners. We are very excited to collaborate with Limit and these carriers to build upon these critical solutions.”
