Why access control can’t be ignored

Authorization blind spots

Every claim update, policy change, and payout decision depends on authorization logic.

Unauthorized claim actions

Over permissive roles allow agents and claims systems to approve or override claims.

Sensitive data exposure

Customer and health data are often accessible beyond intended roles.

Untraceable access changes

Permission updates lack clear ownership and audit trails.

Delayed compliance controls

New rules take too long to enforce when access logic lives in code.
