Overview | Digital Trust Made Simple
The team at weetrust understands the importance of running an efficient business. The Mexico-based legal tech platform stands at 50 employees strong, with teammates, shareholders, advisors, and partners working remotely throughout Latin America.
Weetrust seeks to eliminate paper and clerical work for its users. With its state-of-the-art technology, users can efficiently sign documents, verify identity, and more through a secure platform. Every document signed in weetrust is integrated and registered within a private blockchain, making it unique, unrepeatable, and unalterable. Through its suite of services, weetrust gives users back time in their day to focus on tasks that drive business forward.
Opportunity | A Secure, Scalable Foundation
Despite its limited IT personnel, weetrust needed to build a powerful IT infrastructure from the ground up. By building on Amazon Web Services (AWS), weetrust has taken advantage of the intuitive console and automatic scaling capabilities to build a comprehensive security framework to support the future of its business—no matter the size of its IT team. This has helped weetrust to scale more easily and affordably, focus on its core mission, and reduce the burden of managing servers and data centers.
Trust is in our name. That’s what we dedicate ourselves to and what we offer to customers. Using AWS, we can live up to that."

Solution | Discovering the Right Solutions
To find solutions that meet its unique business needs, weetrust works closely with AWS account managers. The AWS team analyzes weetrust’s current challenges and proposes solutions for future optimization. Such recommendations as these have helped weetrust unlock possibilities for its business, including new projects that use the AWS Security Hub, a cloud security posture management (CSPM) service that performs security best practice checks, aggregates alerts, and enables automated remediation, to help streamline operations.
AWS Security Hub, in particular, has transformed the way that weetrust manages security and compliance across the company's infrastructure. Security Hub automates threat detection and remediation, helping weetrust automatically navigate security events, make data-driven decisions, and ultimately strengthen security. Compared to previous manual and reactive security processes, automated and proactive security helps weetrust make better decisions, faster.
By implementing these security measures, weetrust has been able to proactively detect and mitigate potential security incidents in minutes, thereby reducing risk. This has helped weetrust maintain its ISO 27001 certification—an internationally recognized specification for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). ISO 27001 is the only auditable standard that deals with the overall management of information security, as opposed to only covering which technical controls to implement.
Outcome | One Suite of Solutions, Countless Benefits
In addition to security, weetrust has unlocked user benefits by building on AWS. For example, weetrust has found that the improved cloud security architecture AWS provides has positively impacted both the customer experience (CX) and the employee experience (EX). This enhanced security has also led to higher client retention, because 79 percent of weetrust customers consider cybersecurity an important factor when deciding whether to do business with a company.
The weetrust team’s favorite AWS feature is its flexibility. Thanks to the AWS credit system, the company has been able to try out new features and services without dedicating exorbitant time and resources. In fact, weetrust can release new features twice as fast with AWS CodePipeline, a fully managed continuous delivery service that helps you automate your release pipelines for fast and reliable application and infrastructure updates..
Weetrust also saves more than 20 hours each month by managing security with Security Hub, Amazon GuardDuty, and Amazon Inspector. These efficiencies help employees shift their focus to the customer experience. As the innovation continues to grow, AWS is guiding weetrust staff toward new opportunities and offerings, providing top-of-the-line support without an over-the-top price tag.
As weetrust continues to grow and evolve, it will continue to build on AWS, using services and solutions that deliver immediate benefits, identify vulnerabilities, and inspire confidence in customers.
The peace of mind that weetrust provides to its developers, employees, and end users has made it a leader in the legal tech space throughout Mexico and Latin America and the company plans to expand its offering to other regions. Using AWS, weetrust has the tools and resources it needs to scale its secure infrastructure while also staying up to date with evolving security risks and compliance requirements.
