: Absolutely,I agree with your last comment but sometimes translators are subcontracted and there is little communication.Make sure this slogan or tagline isn' t already being used. Allstate Insurance Co. is currently using a slogan with "In good hands".

Thanks Carmen, but I suggest that's up to the company. An international slogan is a big issue, and it's up to the company to work with the actual translator to get it right.

May need to change slightly --not necessarily literal
I think you can render the idea using "step" as in "keeping in step"; in spte with; etc.
such as :in step with in armonia con
in step with v. andare d'accordo con
keep in step stare al passo

"You're In Good Hands With Allstate"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Allstate's ever-popular slogan "You're In Good Hands With Allstate" along with the clasping hands is an image few people have not seen. The slogan has been around since 1950, granted it has been through some minor changes. However, the meaning that was behind it in the 50's is still there. A sales manager that worked for Sears created the slogan, this individual believed that the slogan conveyed Allstate's commitment to its customers.
