Identifying Hidden Exposures and Potential Risks

Over the years, insurers have been facing a number of uncertainties from external factors such as government regulatory bodies as well as internal risks associated with operations and finance. Security of insurance contracts, policyholders, and their investment also add to the pile of misery. To identify potential mitigation strategies and minimize the effects of risks on their capital and earnings, insurance organizations have heightened their interest in advanced Enterprise Risk Management solutions and strategies. Headquartered at Toledo, OH, Hylant focuses on identifying hidden exposures within an organization through their state-of-the-art risk management services and action plans, aligning with business goals to maintain long term security against such threats.

The company provides a full review of an organization’s program, analyzes its threats, and determines potential risks. Hylant then develops a program meeting the needs of the client to reduce overall cost of risk. “We consider factors that usually go unnoticed such as unidentified product liabilities, and begin quantitative risk analysis with extensive audit into policy issues,” asserts Michael Hylant, CEO, Hylant. The company provides all the information from risk assessments and data analysis to the client when it is required. “The quantitative risk analysis serves as a blueprint for identifying and capturing key risk management efficiencies.” In addition, the company trains client management teams on loss prevention processes to help them gain competitive advantage in the market.

To further strengthen its services, the company updates its clients on market changes, new products, exposures, and emerging legislation. They provide add-ons such as e-mails, phone calls or pre renewal strategy meetings to help their clients to effectively manage risks and equip them with the necessary information to make smart decisions. Hylant allows companies to gain greater control of their risks through ownership of their loss control process. It assists clients in delivering clear and undiluted message to the insurers by offering a direct placement model that enables them to maintain a required balance between professional advice, advocacy and deal execution.
