Example: insurance & Insurtech software for a tourism business in Málaga
Consider a tourism company in Málaga (a tech hub attracting global engineering centres). A typical insurance & Insurtech software engagement would start with embedded insurance, then quote & bind, and finish the first release with claims automation — usually within 8–16 weeks.
Payments would run through Cards, data would be handled under EU GDPR and LOPDGDD, and success would be measured on direct booking share, occupancy and guest satisfaction.

Regulators relevant to insurance & Insurtech software in Spain
Because insurance & Insurtech software often touches regulated money flows or sensitive personal data, these authorities matter. We design controls with their expectations in mind; licensing remains with your regulated entity.
Banco de España
Spain's central bank, which supervises banks and payment institutions and registers crypto providers. For insurance & Insurtech software, custody, wallet security, disclosures and travel-rule messaging must match its rulebook.
CNMV
Spain's securities regulator, which authorises crypto-asset service providers under MiCA. For insurance & Insurtech software, the key questions are whether any token, investment or trading feature is regulated and how investors are protected.

EU GDPR and LOPDGDD: compliance checklist for insurance & Insurtech software
Before launch in Spain, we work through this checklist with your team and advisers:
- Map every personal-data field to a lawful purpose under EU GDPR and LOPDGDD.

- Implement consent records plus data-subject access and deletion workflows.
- Encrypt data in transit and at rest; restrict and log administrative access.
- Prepare a breach-notification procedure that meets the timelines that apply in Spain.
- Confirm with counsel whether licensing or registration with Banco de España and CNMV applies to your model.
- Document AML, fraud and transaction-monitoring controls for auditors.
Hosting and data residency for insurance & Insurtech software in Spain
For clients in Spain we usually host on AWS eu-south-2 (Spain), Azure Spain Central, Google Cloud Madrid. The choice balances latency for local users, EU GDPR and LOPDGDD requirements on where personal data may be stored or transferred, and any sector rules your regulator sets. Backups and disaster-recovery copies follow the same residency decision.
