Northbridge Insurance Achieves CSIO’s JSON API Standards Certification for First Notice of Loss
Toronto, ON (Apr. 29, 2025) – CSIO is pleased to announce that Northbridge Insurance has attained Certification for CSIO’s JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) Application Programming Interface (API) Standards. Northbridge was awarded this Certification for implementing JSON API Data Standards for First Notice of Loss (FNOL) use cases.
These Standards are published by CSIO’s INNOTECH API Implementation Working Groups to facilitate seamless integration for insurers and vendors. JSON enables real-time data exchange between insurer systems and broker management systems (BMS). As a result, brokers receive data directly in their BMS, rather than logging into portals or contacting insurers for client information. BMS vendors that deploy JSON API Data Standards for FNOL APIs into production enable brokers to instantly set up FNOL claims with Northbridge.
“We are proud to provide proactive and responsive service that ensures our valued broker partners are able to instantly send claims information to customers through their BMS,” said Chris Harness, Chief Information Officer at Northbridge Insurance. “This Certification validates our use of Data Standards to help brokers respond quickly when policyholders report a claim.”
“Northbridge’s latest CSIO Certification reflects their commitment to Standards excellence, enabling brokers to conduct business with speed and efficiency,” said Kathryn Sinclair, Interim President at CSIO. “Integrating JSON API Standards is one example among many of how their organization advances the broker channel through modern, innovative technology.”
