Cemiar Inc. Achieves CSIO’s JSON API Standards and API Security Standards Certifications

Toronto, ON (Jan. 6, 2026) – CSIO is pleased to announce that Cemiar Inc. is the first vendor to achieve CSIO’s JSON API Standards Certification. Cemiar has also earned CSIO’s API Security Standards Certification, demonstrating a commitment to enhancing connectivity and security best practices.

By obtaining these Certifications, Cemiar successfully implemented JSON API Standards for five use cases – First Notice of Loss, Get Adjuster Details, Get Billing Schedule, Get Payment Details, and Get Payment Status – along with the API Security Standards within their CemiarLink platform. Their achievements support the broader adoption of APIs, facilitating secure, real-time data exchange.

As insurers and vendors program JSON APIs, information becomes readily available to brokers, enabling a unified and consistent workflow. Additionally, programming CSIO’s API Security Standards provides a standard authentication and authorization model that safeguards information shared between industry partners.

“We are proud to be the first vendor to earn CSIO’s JSON API Standards Certification, a milestone that supports the advancement of APIs and technology innovation within the insurance industry,” said Kevin Houde, Co-Founder & Co-President, Operations of Cemiar, Inc. “Furthermore, by working with CSIO to implement API Security Standards, Cemiar is committed to stronger security measures that empower brokers to serve their customers with confidence.”

“Cemiar’s Certifications are notable achievements in driving the adoption of Data Standards and strengthening digital connectivity for brokers,” said Kathryn Sinclair, President & CEO of CSIO. “We commend Cemiar for their success and dedication to improving workflows through enhanced process automation and the protection of customer data.”
