Partnership with Paperclip Inc. Delivers Industry-Leading Data Security for Life Insurance Distribution
HACKENSACK, NJ (June 17, 2025) — Apis Productions, a leading innovator in insurance technology solutions, today announced the integration of Paperclip Inc.’s SAFE® encryption technology into its revolutionary Opportunity Scout platform. This strategic partnership ensures that all consumer data processed through Opportunity Scout remains encrypted throughout the entire transactional lifecycle, setting a new standard for data security in the insurance technology sector.
Opportunity Scout represents a paradigm shift in how life insurance distributors connect with potential clients. The platform seamlessly matches consumers with premium insurance offerings while maintaining the highest levels of data protection through Paperclip’s advanced encryption of data in use technology.
“Data security isn’t just a feature for us—it’s fundamental to everything we do,” said Peri Lane, CEO and Founder of Apis Productions. “By partnering with Paperclip and integrating their SAFE technology, we’re ensuring that our clients and their customers can focus on what matters most: building meaningful insurance relationships without worrying about data vulnerabilities.”

With hundreds of satisfied clients ranging from BGAs and IMOs to carriers and wealth management firms, the company has consistently moved the industry forward through cutting-edge products, design excellence, and consultative services.

The platform enables direct consumer marketing and offers an end-to-end approach to life insurance sales, supported by a complete marketing library designed to drive consumer interest and expand market reach.
The integration of Paperclip’s SAFE technology ensures that all personally identifiable information (PII) processed through Opportunity Scout is protected from ransomware attacks and data theft—critical protections in an era where cybercrime is expected to cost the global economy over $10.5 trillion by 2025.
“This integration ensures that any private consumer data within Opportunity Scout is always encrypted throughout the transactional lifecycle,” said Mike Bridges, President and COO of Paperclip. “SAFE removes the risk of data exposure while integrating seamlessly within the platform so there is no impact on the end user experience. It’s a perfect match.”
