Abstract
The present invention is a method and system for providing reduced insurance premiums to an insured entity and a reduced risk of loss to an insuring entity. A program containing certain program requirements for the insured entity is created, and procedures are designed for the insured entity to meet these predetermined program requirements. The proximity in meeting these program requirements are monitored and then communicated to an interested third party, such as the insurer. Thus, the present invention by monitoring the insured entity, and communicating information relating to the insured entity to the insuring entity, allows the insuring entity to reduce the insurance costs to the insured entity if such monitoring results in favorable information for the insurer.
