Surety bond back-office
Full surety bond lifecycle: issuance, renewal, endorsements, release, with immutable audit trail.
What is the surety bond back-office?
The surety bond back-office is the vertical policy administration system for the surety line that manages the full bond lifecycle: multi-line issuance (CIG, L210, AGEA and other Italian surety lines), premium calculation with insurer-configurable tariffs, multi-level approval workflow with delegations, endorsements and renewals, suspensions and releases. In NewPicass 14.Net every transaction is digitally signed, versioned and tracked in an immutable audit trail with 10-year retention, aligned to IVASS Reg. 24/2018 on documentary traceability.

From request entry to issuance, step by step
Request entry
Principal master data with auto-completion from tax code / VAT, guarantee details, max amount, effective date, beneficiary. Automatic CIG verification on ANAC if the bond is for a public tender.
Automatic quotation
Application of the tariff configured for line + delegating insurer. Gross premium computation, multi-level commissions (coverholder, broker, sub-agent), taxes. Certificate preview before issuance.
Approval workflow
If the amount exceeds the operator's binding authority, automatic escalation to senior underwriter or delegating insurer. Approval-chain log with reasons.
eIDAS digital signature
Native integration with the Signature module (FES, FEA, FEQ) for principal, beneficiary and internal staff. TSA timestamping. Sign via OTP-SMS, SPID, CIE or qualified certificate.
Registration & notification
Bond status "ACTIVE", optional hash registration on Polygon, QR code printed on certificate. Push notification to producer, email to beneficiary, sync to delegating insurer.
Post-issuance management
Endorsements (amount change, extension, beneficiary substitution), suspensions, releases, claim escalation. Every event updates the consolidated exposure in real time.

Frequently asked questions about the surety back-office
What is a policy administration system for surety bonds?
A policy administration system (PAS) for surety covers the full surety bond lifecycle: issuance, premium calculation, approval workflow, endorsement and renewal management, suspension and release, audit trail. NewPicass 14.Net is a vertical PAS for the Italian surety line, natively integrated with CIG/ANAC, IVASS, and ACORD/Lloyd's templates for coverholders.
Can I manage policies across multiple lines (CIG, L210, AGEA) in the same environment?
Yes. The platform is natively multi-line: each line has separate tariffs, approval workflows, clause sets and document templates but shares the same data schema. The consolidated supervision (exposure, loss ratio, customer aggregation) cuts across all lines without intermediate Excel exports.
How is JV (Temporary Joint Venture) management handled?
JV bond issuance in NewPicass 14.Net includes: master data for all leading/participating companies with percentage shares, automatic premium and commission split per share, generation of a single certificate listing the leader and participants, and separate exposure tracking per participating company.
Is the audit trail immutable? Will it be accepted in case of an IVASS audit?
Yes. Every operation (creation, modification, signing, status change) produces a log row with timestamp, user, IP, before/after values, cryptographic hash. Rows are not modifiable even by DBAs. Retention is configurable per customer (default 10 years, aligned to IVASS Reg. 24). All exportable in signed format for audits.
Can I migrate from Excel or from a legacy AS/400?
Yes. For Excel migrations: we provide extraction templates, automatic data-quality validators, post-migration reconciliation logs. For legacy AS/400: we use SQL Server SSIS ETL, a 30-60 day parallel run, and formal customer sign-off before switch. Typical timeline: 60-90 days from kick-off to go-live for coverholders; 6-12 months for insurers with legacy systems.
