Applied Services: Alteryx, AWS Big Data, Security
Aioi Nissay Dowa Insurance Co., Ltd., part of MS&AD Insurance Group Holdings, partnered with Shiga University — home to Japan's first Faculty for Data Science — to establish the "Japan Safety Society Research Center (JSSRC)" in April 2017. The joint research initiative required a secure, compliant AWS environment for advanced big data analysis of telematics driving data, developed with Classmethod's expertise.
Development of a Secure Environment in Accordance with Security Requirements
Insurance sector data carries strict regulatory and security requirements. Classmethod designed the AWS environment with comprehensive controls ensuring all analytics activity meets compliance standards while enabling the research team to perform sophisticated telematics analysis.
Security Controls Implemented
- • Network ACL and proxy server restrictions on outbound communication
- • URL filtering permitting only essential updates (Windows Update)
- • AWS CloudTrail and AWS Config for logging and governance audit trails
- • IAM privilege management following AWS Security Best Practices
Alteryx for Telematics Data Analysis
Alteryx serves as the analytics engine for JSSRC's telematics research, capable of receiving, formatting, and combining driving behavior data from Amazon S3, controlling Amazon EMR for large-scale processing, and populating Amazon Redshift for structured analysis — all within the secure perimeter.
Results Achieved
- • Secure research environment meeting insurance sector compliance requirements
- • Japan Safety Society Research Center analytical infrastructure operational
- • Alteryx enables data scientists to work with telematics data at scale
- • Comprehensive audit trail via CloudTrail and Config for governance
This case study uses Alteryx and AWS Security Architecture.
Classmethod builds secure analytics environments for financial services and insurance companies — combining Alteryx's data processing capabilities with AWS security controls that meet regulatory compliance requirements.
