Insurance and reinsurance

IT for insurers: the foundation the regulator will ask to see

An insurer is not a company that uses IT: it is a company made of data, processes and deadlines. In Brazil, SUSEP Circular 638/2021 turned cybersecurity into an obligation with a policy, controls and incident response. Inove takes care of the foundation that carries all of it — and delivers the evidence alongside.

What we handle inside an insurer

Not sector talk. These are the fronts we run today, as a routine, inside insurance operations in Brazil.

Workplace and identity

Entra ID, Intune and Autopilot: a machine that arrives ready, access that leaves when the person does, policy applied without depending on the legacy domain.

Vulnerabilities with real priority

A CVE inventory, cut down to what is actually being exploited, and a remediation plan — not a list of thousands of lines with no owner.

Cloud cost under control

FinOps across GCP, AWS and Azure: underused commitments, idle environments and waste with a traceable origin behind every number.

Data and integrations that cannot fail

Replication and pipelines between legacy systems and the cloud, with error handling and monitoring — because actuarial calculation does not wait.

Change governance

Change management with a record, a window, a rollback plan and an executive report. What changed, when, by whom and with what result.

Files and collaboration

Legacy file server to SharePoint, with risk analysis before anything moves: retention, inherited permissions and sensitive data mapped.

How we enter an insurance operation

A regulated environment does not accept disruption. The sequence is built to reduce risk while the operation keeps running.

  1. 01

    Assess

    A survey of the estate, the cloud, the access model and the integrations — with numbers, not impressions.

  2. 02

    Prioritise by risk

    What is exploitable today, what blocks an audit and what costs money every month comes first. The rest goes into the plan.

  3. 03

    Execute in a window

    Change under governance, with a rollback plan and communication. A critical system is not an experiment.

  4. 04

    Prove it

    A report with the origin of every figure — the same material that serves as the answer to the regulator.

What the insurer gains

An audit answer already prepared

Policy, controls and incidents documented in the format SUSEP 638 asks for — not assembled in a rush the week of the audit.

A smaller attack surface

Standardised workstations, access cycled on schedule and critical vulnerabilities with a deadline. Cyber risk stops being abstract.

A predictable cloud bill

Commitments sized against real consumption and waste removed with full traceability.

The internal team back on the business

The insurer’s team returns to product and claims, instead of laptop tickets and patch queues.

Could your insurance operation survive an audit tomorrow?

Ask for an assessment with your own environment on the table: estate, cloud, access and vulnerabilities. You get the number and the evidence — and you decide what to do with them.
