Our Core Methodology

Proprietary Risk-Vector Analysis™

Founded in Chicago, IL and serving clients since 2008, Vangard Risk Partners recognized early that traditional underwriting models fail to accurately assess the digital liability of modern financial technology firms.

Our quantitative approach involves a named workflow step we call Algorithmic Exposure Quantification (AEQ). By ingesting your platform's API transaction volume data and cross-referencing it with historical breach vectors, we build a mathematical model of your operational risk before we ever approach the surplus lines market.

This empirical data allows our CPCU and RPLU certified brokers to negotiate custom manuscript endorsements that standard ISO forms simply cannot accommodate, significantly reducing coverage gaps in your technology errors and omissions (Tech E&O) policies.
