CASE STUDY

Identity-Driven Security Posture Uplift through AWS Well-Architected Remediation

Transforming Legal Claims Processing with Strong IAM Governance and Continuous Compliance

The Customer

The customer is a leading occupational risk insurance provider in Argentina, serving more than 2 million workers and managing over 100,000 companies across both public and private sectors. Operating under strict regulatory oversight, the organization processes highly sensitive legal, financial, and personal data on a daily basis, making security, traceability, and compliance non-negotiable foundations of its technology platform.

The Challenge

The insurance industry faces unique security and governance challenges, driven by the need to protect sensitive customer data, comply with stringent regulatory requirements, and ensure the integrity of operations. Insurers must establish robust frameworks for access control, identity management, and data protection to minimize risks and maintain trust. Additionally, the sector demands comprehensive auditing and traceability to guarantee compliance and respond effectively to evolving threats and legal mandates.

The customer faced significant gaps in security posture, identity governance, and auditability — most acutely within its judicial liquidation processes, where sensitive legal documents and claim payouts intersect. An initial AWS Well-Architected Review (WAR – Milestone 1) surfaced with multiple High–Risk findings spanning the Security, Operational Excellence, and Reliability pillars.

Key Risks Identified at Milestone 1

  • Limited identity segmentation and over-permissioned IAM access patterns
  • Inconsistent enforcement of encryption at rest and in transit
  • Insufficient traceability and limited audit evidence for regulated workloads
  • Manual, human-driven processes that increased operational and insider risk
  • Absence of standardized incident response playbooks and governance controls

The objective was clear: not only to modernize the legal claims process, but to systematically remediate the identified risks and deliver a measurable uplift in security posture, fully aligned with AWS best practices.

As a national organization, this customer needed to modernize and automate the analysis of legal documentation, including claims and rulings from 4 major provinces in Argentina, while maintaining high standards of security, access control, and identity management.

The manual process generated operational risks, lack of standardization, and lengthy processing times that hindered traceability. A solution was required that combined secure processing, intelligent automation, comprehensive auditing, and data protection, aligned with internal policies and regulatory requirements of the insurance sector.

The Solution

A solution was designed and implemented using intelligent agents built on an isolated and governed AWS architecture, focused on security, identity, and access: 

1. Security

  • Isolated and controlled environment. 
  • End-to-end encryption (in transit and at rest) of all legal documents. 
  • Comprehensive audit of every workflow, action, and artifact processed by the agents. 

2. Identity

  • Separation of human and non-human identities, with role-specific permissions. 
  • Managed identities for automated agents and full lifecycle control. 
  • Authentication via renewable tokens for API consumers. 

3. Access

  • Principle of least privilege for ingestion, processing, querying, and reporting. 
  • Differentiated controls for each stage of the process and type of user/service. 
  • Automated review of permissions to maintain continuous compliance. 

The solution integrates extraction, classification, legal analysis, summary generation, and settlement calculation, with full traceability and secure API access. 

The Results

Following the structured remediation program and the implementation of the new platform, the customer achieved measurable improvements across security, compliance, and operational performance.
