Hettrick, Cyr & Associates

What Hettrick, Cyr & Associates does

Hettrick, Cyr & Associates, Inc. (HC&A) is a US-based, full-service risk management firm founded in 1994 and headquartered in Glastonbury, Connecticut. The company operates as a subsidiary of Insurance Program Managers Group, LLC (IPMG) and serves employers across ten-plus industry verticals including construction, transportation, insurance/captive programs, healthcare, manufacturing, municipalities, and casino/gaming. With 11-50 employees, HC&A delivers three integrated service lines: Safety & Risk Control (OSHA/DOT compliance, on-site inspections, transportation safety, insurance industry risk control), Employment Screening (FCRA/ADA/GLBA-compliant background investigations via a secure web-based platform), and Special Investigations (SIU/fraud intelligence, claim defense surveillance, OSINT, medical canvass, FMLA intervention, workplace investigations, litigation support, due diligence, and Connecticut DDS-regulated abuse/neglect investigations).

The underlying technology is a services platform rather than a software product: secure web portals power case intake, status tracking, and report delivery for both screening and investigative engagements, while field operations rely on human investigators executing covert surveillance, medical canvasses, and structured OSINT research. Differentiated capabilities include Connecticut DDS-certified and DESPP-licensed investigators (CT License A-904), multidisciplinary regulatory expertise across OSHA, DOT, FMLA, FCRA, ADA, and GLBA, and proprietary research databases accumulated over 30 years.

HC&A operates a B2B, sales-led professional services model with quote-based, multi-year engagements priced on scope and complexity. GTM is direct — website, toll-free phone (888-805-0300), and client referrals — targeting enterprise buyers. Revenue is generated through customized consulting packages, project-based investigations, retainer arrangements, and screening subscriptions; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Marketing leverages industry-specific case studies and a captive-program portal, with distribution concentrated in the US.
