Azure Managed Services in the UK for Insurance & Underwriting
Proactive Azure management that keeps your insurance firm running without interruption.
Fully Managed
We handle every aspect of your Azure environment — from provisioning and patching to performance tuning and incident response.
Security First
Continuous security monitoring, policy enforcement, and compliance reporting keep your Azure estate protected around the clock.
Cost Optimisation
We actively right-size resources, leverage reserved instances, and eliminate waste to keep your Azure spend under control.
Insurance depend on Acturis, SSP, and claims management systems to deliver results every day. When claims processing delays and regulatory reporting gaps occurs, productivity and client confidence suffer. Managing Azure infrastructure internally diverts attention from your core insurance firm operations and requires expertise that is difficult to recruit and retain.
Cloudswitched delivers fully managed Azure services specifically for UK insurance. Our team handles proactive monitoring, patching, and optimisation of your Azure environment, freeing your staff to focus on serving clients. We monitor your Acturis, SSP, and claims management systems integrations around the clock, resolve issues proactively, and ensure your Azure environment meets FCA, Solvency II, and IDD standards at all times.
How it works for Insurance businesses
A clear, structured process from consultation to ongoing support.
1
Proactive Monitoring
We do not wait for things to break. Our monitoring watches CPU, memory, disk, network, and application health continuously — resolving issues before they affect your users.
2
Governance & Compliance
Azure Policy, role-based access controls, and regular audits ensure your environment meets regulatory requirements and internal security standards at all times.
3
Continuous Improvement
Monthly reviews identify opportunities to improve performance, reduce costs, and adopt new Azure features that benefit your workloads.
