Press Release: Willis, Kayna & Kwant Launch Embedded Insurance Program | InsurTech NY
New York • July 15, 2026
We are especially proud to share this announcement because Kayna and Kwant are both portfolio companies of the InsurTech Fund. They are a natural fit. Kayna provides the embedded insurance infrastructure that enables vertical SaaS platforms to add insurance, compliance support and real-time risk intelligence to their existing workflows. Kwant provides workforce management, project intelligence and safety technology for construction and industrial sites. Together, they connect two critical parts of the same operating environment: protecting workers and projects while helping subcontractors access appropriate insurance coverage through the software they already use.
Willis, a WTW business (NASDAQ: WTW), together with its embedded insurance infrastructure partner Kayna, today announced a strategic partnership with Kwant to launch KwantSure, a digital insurance program embedded directly within Kwant’s workforce management platform.
KwantSure enables subcontractors to access insurance coverage that may be required to remain project compliant, directly within the platform used by general contractors to manage workforce operations and certificate of insurance tracking.
The Program Combines
- Kwant’s workforce and compliance platform, which supports 160,000 workers across the United States and gives general contractors real-time visibility into subcontractor insurance status through integrated certificate of insurance tracking.
- Kayna’s embedded insurance technology, which integrates a streamlined insurance procurement experience into the Kwant platform and uses digital trading capabilities from modern carriers to deliver data-led insurance solutions.
- Willis’ Affinity advice and expertise, delivering insurance solutions designed specifically for subcontractors.
Coverage Built Into the Compliance Workflow
Available coverages include General Liability, Professional Liability, Cyber, Business Owner’s Policy and pay-as-you-go Workers’ Compensation.
By embedding insurance procurement within the certificate of insurance workflow, KwantSure reduces administrative burdens, streamlines the buying process and enables subcontractors to obtain quotes and bind coverage in minutes.
For general contractors, the program enhances compliance visibility and helps mitigate risk across projects.
From the Partners
“Delivering tech-enabled, embedded insurance solutions is a key strategic priority for us. By integrating Willis-brokered insurance directly into Kwant’s COI tracking platform, we are simplifying access to coverage for subcontractors, strengthening compliance and removing friction from the procurement process.”
Nabeel Tanveer, US Affinity and Programs Leader at Willis“By combining Kwant’s project intelligence with Willis’ broking expertise and Kayna’s technology, we’re making insurance faster, simpler and more accessible for contractors. Contractors can secure coverage in minutes while staying compliant through proactive alerts and real-time monitoring. Together, we’re helping reduce risk across complex projects and laying the foundation for a broader suite of digital insurance solutions.”
Niran Shrestha, CEO and Co-Founder of Kwant“Kwant is helping subcontractors to close the compliance gap and mitigate the risk of underinsurance in real time. This is how a vertical SaaS platform can elevate business practices, solve problems and provide real value for its customers. KwantSure provides a data-led, end-to-end insurance solution, designed specifically to support the needs of Kwant customers as they position their businesses for continuity and sustained growth. I’m delighted that our work together has resulted in such a powerful tool for a trusted platform that is driving change in construction, making it safer, smarter and more efficient.”
