Uniform Surety Data

SuretyScience curates and maintains centralized surety data assets that are continuously enriched and refreshed, providing the foundation for our products while helping drive greater standardization across the industry.


In the Surety industry, it is common for agencies to be granted broad authority to issue bonds independently of insurer systems. Consequently, inconsistent agency reporting practices continue to hinder straight-through processing, forcing insurers to manually normalize and reconcile submissions before the data can be reliably consumed by downstream systems.

These data repositories are delivered through secure web service APIs and integrated into insurer and agency systems, vendor platforms, and other industry solutions. By providing a common, standardized source of data, they improve interoperability, reduce reconciliation efforts, and help streamline the end-to-end surety lifecycle.
