The Berwyn Group Launches CertiDeath® Paragon™, a Revolutionary Product in the Death Audit Industry

Death Audit clients will mitigate security risk by significantly reducing or eliminating the transfer of sensitive PII.

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio, Feb. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Berwyn Group (Berwyn), announces CertiDeath® Paragon™, a first-of-its-kind death audit solution. This revolutionary product will significantly reduce or eliminate the need to transfer sensitive Personally Identifiable Information (PII), including Social Security numbers, while aligning with industry regulations.

"CertiDeath Paragon will transform how our clients care for participants, policyholders, and account holders—accurately identifying decedents, reuniting benefits with beneficiaries, and safeguarding privacy with every step," said John Bikus, President of The Berwyn Group. "This groundbreaking release isn't just a new product; it's a commitment to innovation, cybersecurity and, most importantly, supporting our clients and their participants and policyholders."

The industry has historically relied on vast amounts of PII to achieve accuracy in death audits. Identifying deaths is critical for organizations such as pension plans, insurance companies, and financial institutions to help eliminate costly overpayments, reduce fraud, meet regulatory requirements, and connect policyholders, participants and beneficiaries to the funds they deserve. However, cybersecurity is one of the industry's biggest challenges. Paragon technology is revolutionary as it reduces the financial and reputational risk associated with transfer of sensitive PII, giving organizations a new way to help safeguard their participants' data and bolster trust with stakeholders.

CertiDeath is the most complete death audit solution in the industry with 96.5% decedent identification and 99.9% accuracy. This revolutionary release, CertiDeath Paragon, allows for organizations to receive similar validated results, while removing the significant risk of transferring sensitive PII.
