The Pennsylvania Insurance Data Security Act requires insurance licensees to take a more formal, documented, and defensible approach to cyber security. From risk assessments and written security programs to vendor oversight and incident response, PIDSA raises the standard for how sensitive insurance data must be protected across your environment.
The law took effect on December 11, 2023, with key implementation deadlines on December 11, 2024, December 11, 2025, and annual certification requirements beginning April 15, 2026, for Pennsylvania-domiciled insurers.
PIDSA is not just about checking a box. It requires insurance licensees to identify risk, protect nonpublic information, oversee third-party providers, investigate cyber events, and maintain the documentation needed to demonstrate compliance. The law requires a written information security program based on a risk assessment, board or executive oversight, incident response planning, and investigation and notification processes for qualifying cybersecurity events.
Infradapt helps organizations translate those requirements into practical controls and workable processes. We focus on building a secure, manageable environment that supports compliance without creating unnecessary complexity.
The Pennsylvania Insurance Data Security Act requires covered licensees to establish and maintain a comprehensive written information security program that is appropriate for the size of the organization, the nature of its operations, and the sensitivity of the nonpublic information it handles.
Key requirements under the Act include:
We help evaluate your current environment, identify security and process gaps, and map your existing controls against PIDSA expectations. This gives your organization a clearer understanding of what is already in place, what is missing, and what needs to be prioritized first.
PIDSA expects a written information security program, not just informal practices. We help organizations build and organize the policies, procedures, and technical standards needed to support a stronger compliance position.
The Pennsylvania Insurance Data Security Act requires covered licensees to establish and maintain a comprehensive written information security program that is appropriate for the size of the organization, the nature of its operations, and the sensitivity of the nonpublic information it handles.
From access controls and monitoring to secure remote access, backup strategy, endpoint protections, and infrastructure design, we help align your technical environment with the realities of modern cyber risk and the expectations of regulated data protection. The Act specifically calls for safeguards tied to identified risks, along with ongoing testing, monitoring, and training.
When a cybersecurity event happens, speed and structure matter. We help organizations establish an incident response framework that supports investigation, containment, documentation, communication, and recovery. That matters under PIDSA because covered licensees may need to notify the Commissioner within five business days after determining that a reportable cybersecurity event has occurred.
Many compliance gaps start with outside vendors. PIDSA specifically requires due diligence and appropriate safeguards for third-party service providers that handle or can access nonpublic information. We help you review those relationships, identify weak points, and improve oversight.
Compliance is easier to defend when your work is documented. We help support policy organization, remediation planning, and the broader operational discipline needed to stay prepared for regulatory review. Pennsylvania-domiciled insurers that are subject to the Act must also submit an annual certification by April 15 and maintain supporting records for five years.
PIDSA applies broadly to insurance licensees in Pennsylvania, though the Act distinguishes between “licensees” and “insurers,” and certain organizations may qualify for exemptions. For example, exemptions may apply where a licensee has fewer than 10 employees, less than $5 million in gross revenue, or less than $10 million in year-end total assets. HIPAA-covered entities may also be deemed compliant with much of the Act if they meet the law’s conditions, though notification obligations can still remain.
If your organization handles nonpublic insurance-related information, relies on third-party vendors, or lacks a formalized information security program, this is a law worth addressing proactively.
PIDSA is about more than regulatory language. It is about protecting sensitive information, reducing operational risk, and showing that your organization takes data protection seriously. A stronger compliance posture can also improve cyber resilience, clarify responsibilities, strengthen vendor accountability, and reduce confusion during an incident.
The organizations that struggle most are usually not the ones ignoring security entirely. They are the ones with partial controls, inconsistent documentation, and unclear ownership. That is where Infradapt helps bring order, structure, and accountability.
