Case Study: Leading Financial Security Group in Asia Pacific achieves scalable cloud data protection and regulatory compliance with Thales

Leading Financial Security Group - Customer Case Study

Leading Financial Security Group, a top insurer in the Asia Pacific with millions of customers across countries like Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan, faced a digital-transformation challenge: move analytics and applications to hybrid and multi‑cloud environments while protecting large volumes of personal, health and financial data and meeting strict local regulations (PDPA, HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR). The group selected Thales as its sole vendor to provide scalable data‑at‑rest protection and key management, deploying solutions such as Thales Data Protection on Demand (Luna Cloud HSM) and CipherTrust Manager to meet FIPS 140‑2 Level 3 requirements.

Thales implemented a phased solution—Luna Cloud HSM and CipherTrust Manager for centralized key lifecycle management, CipherTrust Transparent Encryption for data‑at‑rest protection, Vaultless Tokenization for safe cloud migration, and CipherTrust Cloud Key Manager (CCKM) to enable BYOK—deployed across more than 40 sites globally. The result: demonstrable regulatory alignment and stronger key ownership (a two‑year BYOK rollout that progressed to Bring Your Own Encryption), centralized policy and auditing, reduced operational overhead, and a scalable model to securely move data to the cloud while maintaining compliance.
