How to Secure Your Business Network Against Cyber Threats

Azure Infrastructure for Businesses in the UK for Insurance & Underwriting
Scalable, resilient Azure infrastructure purpose-built for insurance.
Architected for Purpose
Every Azure environment we build is designed around your specific workloads, performance requirements, and compliance obligations.
Secure by Design
Network segmentation, identity management, encryption, and monitoring are built into the foundation — not bolted on afterwards.
Scalable & Efficient
Infrastructure that grows with your business using autoscaling, reserved capacity, and right-sized resources from the outset.
Insurance require cloud infrastructure that can handle policyholder records, claims data, and underwriting files securely and at scale. Poorly designed Azure environments lead to performance bottlenecks, unexpected costs, and FCA, Solvency II, and IDD compliance failures. Purpose-built infrastructure ensures your insurance firm has the compute, storage, and networking foundations to thrive.
Cloudswitched designs and deploys Azure infrastructure solutions for UK insurance. We architect Azure environments around your Acturis, SSP, and claims management systems requirements, with right-sized virtual machines, secure networking, and storage optimised for policyholder records, claims data, and underwriting files. Every deployment follows FCA, Solvency II, and IDD best practices and includes comprehensive documentation.
How it works for Insurance businesses
A clear, structured process from consultation to ongoing support.
1
Requirements Gathering
We work with your technical and business stakeholders to understand workload characteristics, compliance requirements, growth projections, and integration needs before designing anything.
2
Landing Zone Architecture
We design a structured Azure landing zone with management groups, subscriptions, resource groups, networking, and identity aligned to Microsoft best practices and your governance model.
3
Infrastructure as Code
All infrastructure is deployed using code templates, ensuring consistency, repeatability, and the ability to rebuild or replicate environments rapidly.

Virtual machines precisely configured for Acturis, SSP, and claims management systems workloads, delivering optimal performance for policyholder records, claims data, and underwriting files processing without overspending on unused capacity.
Secure Networking
Azure Virtual Networks, NSGs, and private endpoints protect policyholder records, claims data, and underwriting files in transit and at rest, meeting FCA, Solvency II, and IDD network security requirements.

Availability sets and zones ensure your insurance firm applications remain accessible even during Azure platform maintenance or regional incidents.
Scalable Storage
Azure storage solutions configured for policyholder records, claims data, and underwriting files, with appropriate redundancy, access tiers, and lifecycle policies to balance cost and performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most insurance require virtual machines for Acturis, SSP, and claims management systems, Azure networking for secure connectivity, blob or file storage for policyholder records, claims data, and underwriting files, and identity services. We right-size every component to match your insurance firm's actual requirements.
We design infrastructure using FCA, Solvency II, and IDD compliant templates, enforce policies through Azure Policy, and document all configurations for audit purposes. Regular reviews ensure continued compliance as both Azure and FCA, Solvency II, and IDD requirements evolve.
Azure is built for scalability. We design auto-scaling rules for compute resources and elastic storage that grows with your policyholder records, claims data, and underwriting files volumes, ensuring your insurance firm never outgrows its infrastructure.
We deploy to UK Azure regions (UK South and UK West) by default, ensuring policyholder records, claims data, and underwriting files remains within British jurisdiction. This satisfies FCA, Solvency II, and IDD data residency requirements and provides low-latency access for your insurance firm staff.
We use reserved instances, spot VMs where appropriate, and continuous right-sizing to minimise costs. Monthly reviews identify savings opportunities, and we provide clear cost breakdowns so your insurance firm finance team understands exactly where budget is allocated.
