DQPro: Powering Aviva’s Next-Gen Underwriting Data Controls
DQPro is expanding its footprint across the global insurance market through a new multi‑year agreement with Aviva.
The partnership will see DQPro’s data quality and governance software deployed across Aviva’s Global Corporate & Specialty (GCS) business, reinforcing a growing industry focus on front-line data assurance.
The agreement addresses data quality issues at the point of entry rather than downstream – an approach that is rapidly becoming a competitive differentiator across insurance.
A platform built for continuous data assurance
Founded in 2016, DQPro is a specialist in data control and validation for P&C and specialty insurers.
Its platform enables firms to apply automated, bespoke data checks across underwriting, claims, reinsurance, finance and compliance workflows.
By integrating with core systems such as Guidewire, IRIS and Snowflake, DQPro acts as a second set of eyes on enterprise data.
The platform identifies, flags and resolves inconsistencies before they escalate into operational inefficiencies or regulatory exposure.
Today, the company supports more than 2,000 daily users across global markets, including major carriers such as Markel, Liberty, SiriusPoint and Tokio Marine HCC.
Its value proposition centres on continuous, 24/7 data assurance – an increasingly critical capability as insurers scale digital operations and navigate evolving compliance demands.
Aviva partnership signals market momentum
The agreement with Aviva – one of the UK’s largest insurers – shows just how relevant DQPro is becoming to tier-one insurers.
Within Aviva’s GCS division, the software introduces an additional layer of underwriting control, enabling teams to detect and resolve data issues in real time.
Jo Rasho, Head of London Market Operations at Aviva, says: “We’re delighted to be onboarding DQPro into the GCS estate.
“Its unique approach to tackling data quality issues within underwriting early on is already enhancing performance across our operations.
“DQPro also offers a distinctive understanding of the market we operate in and provides a solution that gives us real confidence to leverage the opportunities that high quality data can bring.”
Aviva serves 25.2 million customers and paid £31.9bn (US$43.5bn) in claims and benefits in 2025.
This means the ability to rely on accurate, consistent data is foundational to the success of its business.
With £454bn (US$619.1bn) in assets under management and a Solvency II surplus of £7.1bn (US$9.7bn), the insurer operates at a scale where even minor data discrepancies can translate into significant financial and compliance risks.
Driving efficiency and reducing risk
DQPro’s technology addresses a persistent industry challenge: fragmented data environments and manual validation processes that introduce latency and error.
By embedding controls directly into underwriting workflows, insurers can prevent issues before they propagate across systems.
This shift delivers measurable benefits, including improved operational efficiency, reduced compliance risk and stronger confidence in decision-making.
It also aligns with broader regulatory expectations around data governance, particularly in complex specialty lines where auditability and traceability are paramount.
Nick Mair, Co-Founder of DQPro, says: “We are very pleased to add Aviva to our growing customer community.
“Working with one of the UK’s largest insurers underscores the increasing importance of front-line data assurance across the industry, and we look forward to supporting Aviva as they enhance control, efficiency and confidence across their data operations.”
