Identity and Access Management (IAM) ​

EcoHub’s Identity and Access Management (IAM) offers a secure identity management solution for insurers, providing a centralized system for managing users, organizations, and permissions. This ensures efficient user management for brokers and secure access control, making it an ideal choice for the insurance industry.

What It Offers​

The Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution from EcoHub covers all key aspects of managing users, members, organisations, and service contracts. It includes the provision and management of identities, permissions, and organisational units across interconnected platforms. A multi-level administration concept enables the efficient management of user data, access information, authorisations, and organisational structures. Additionally, the service provides technical interfaces (web services) that ensure secure data exchange between EcoHub and its service providers.

Why It Is Needed​

The IAM service from EcoHub is essential for ensuring security and efficiency in the collaboration between various stakeholders, such as insurers and brokers. It enables secure transmission and management of data, as well as precise assignment and control of permissions. This allows companies to reliably protect sensitive information while ensuring seamless access for authorised users.

Single Sign-On (SSO)​

EcoHub’s Single Sign-On (SSO) service simplifies access to multiple platforms and portals. After a single strong authentication, users can navigate seamlessly across various portals without repeated logins. EcoHub acts as the Identity Provider (IdP), securely passing SSO for insurer portals to service providers.

What It Offers​

The SSO service includes everything needed for a streamlined login experience. This includes managing login credentials via email, secure logout, and enhanced security through an OTP app (such as Microsoft or Google Authenticator). Using single sign-on for brokers and insurers, EcoHub integrates OpenID Connect (OIDC), enabling users to use the same login process for various portals and applications, such as insurer portals or marketplace apps.

Why It Is Needed​

EcoHub’s SSO for brokers and insurers makes platform access more efficient and user-friendly. Instead of managing multiple logins, users can access various portals with a single authentication, reducing the complexity of the login process. By using strong authentication methods like OpenID Connect, this SSO system improves security while greatly facilitating collaboration, especially in industries with numerous partners and platforms, like the insurance sector.

Data Exchange Proxy (DXP)/ Secure Data Exchange with Standard API Framework (SAF)​

EcoHub’s Data Exchange Proxy (DXP) and Standard API Framework (SAF) provide a reliable and secure data exchange for insurers and brokers, facilitating structured data transmission according to market standards. These services improve workflows, enabling fast and secure communication between all involved parties.

What It Offers​

The DXP Service acts as a central proxy for the secure exchange of files between brokers and insurers without intermediate storage or data processing. Through DXP interfaces, files relevant to core processes can be seamlessly uploaded and downloaded. The service uses TechUser authentication to ensure secure file transfers.
 
The DXP technology will soon be replaced by SAF – our innovative data exchange technology. SAF offers a secure, event-driven architecture for encrypted data exchange. With this solution, brokers and insurers can exchange data such as events or files asynchronously, without the need for the sender and receiver to be available simultaneously. Data exchange occurs in JSON format via Kafka or a REST Proxy API, significantly simplifying integration. Thanks to end-to-end encryption, only the sender and receiver have access to the content.

Why It Is Needed​

The DXP and SAF Services play a pivotal role in promoting structured data exchange within the industry. EcoHub acts as a central intermediary between senders and recipients. With a single integration into the EcoHub platform, insurers and software providers can reach numerous other partners, significantly reducing investment costs for integrations.
 
Our data exchange services support the exchange of data based on established data standards. In the context of collaboration between brokers and insurers, these standards are defined by the association IG B2B for Insurers + Brokers. The services facilitate secure and automated transmission of structured data, enabling senders and recipients to further automate their own processes and increase efficiency.
 
With the introduction of SAF, the integration process is further accelerated and built on a modern, flexible, and secure technology platform. This not only ensures future-proof solutions but also lays the foundation for even more effective collaboration within the industry.

Integration

The step-by-step insurance integration process ensures a smooth transition and implementation of EcoHub’s solutions. Our team provides full support to software providers and insurers throughout every phase of the integration project, ensuring a seamless integration for insurers and brokers.
1. Initiation
After initiating the integration project, we will schedule a meeting with your project team. During this meeting, we will explain the entire insurance integration process in detail, provide all necessary information and documentation, and address any questions or concerns to ensure you are fully prepared.
 
2. Preparation
In this phase, your team will prepare your systems for seamless integration with EcoHub. Our team will offer guidance and support as needed to help you prepare your systems for integration.
 
3. Integration & Testing
Once your systems are ready, you will begin testing the integration in our dedicated test environment to ensure everything functions as expected.
 
4. Certification & Go Live
After successful testing, we will certify the integration in the test environment to verify that all required standards are met before going live. Once live, a portion of the certification will be repeated in the production environment to confirm your system is fully operational and secure.
 
5. Monitoring & Continuous Improvement
Continuously monitor your integration and optimise it as necessary.
