ISPN Security Audit

Navigating IRDA's ISNP Compliance

In the digital age, selling insurance online requires more than just a website it demands a secure, compliant, and regulated platform. This is where the Insurance Self Network Platform (ISNP) comes in.

An ISNP is an electronic platform (such as a website or mobile app) established by an insurance applicant with explicit permission from the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI). Governed by the guidelines IRDA/INT/GDU/ECM/055/03/2017, an ISNP standardizes the rules of engagement for insurance e-commerce, ensuring a secure and fair marketplace for providers and policyholders alike.

Who Needs an ISNP?

Any insurance company, aggregator, or intermediary looking to sell insurance products online in India must establish a compliant ISNP.
