Our work spans Microsoft Office 365, SharePoint, Project, and Power BI, but the tools are just the starting point.

Alliant Insurance Services operates as the nation's fifth-largest insurance brokerage and consulting firm, managing risk across 14,000+ employees in more than 100 offices nationwide. Founded in 1925, the majority employee-owned organization posted nearly 30% year-over-year growth brokering insurance products and delivering risk management advisory to global corporations, regional businesses, and high-net-worth individuals. The threat model here is straightforward: enterprises scaling fast need actuarial precision around cyber liability, business interruption triggers, and third-party breach exposure - domains where traditional insurance underwriting collides with evolving attack surfaces. The firm's technical infrastructure runs on Microsoft Office Suite, agency management systems, CRM platforms, data analytics tooling, and cloud infrastructure - standard enterprise stack for a service organization at this scale. Risk management consulting positions coverage decisions as growth enablers rather than purely defensive plays, translating technical vulnerabilities into financial exposure language that boards and CFOs parse. Brokerage placement services connect clients to underwriters who increasingly require evidence of security controls, incident response plans, and supply chain vetting before binding policies in sectors like healthcare, finance, and critical infrastructure. Alliant's structure emphasizes client-facing expertise over centralized process: industry specialists operate with autonomy to structure custom programs rather than templated products. The employee ownership model theoretically aligns long-term client relationships with individual incentives, though execution quality varies across a footprint this large. For security practitioners, the intersection matters when ransomware payouts, regulatory fines, or forensic costs trigger claims - understanding how brokers quantify cyber risk and negotiate policy terms directly impacts an organization's financial resilience posture when containment fails.
