Quickly assess ESG risks across your portfolio of insureds and suppliers, understand the impact on propensity to claim, identify areas for improvement, and benchmark performance.
Compliance and financial risk mitigation
Often, what insurers know about their clients and third parties is only the tip of the iceberg. Disconnected systems and poor data limit visibility, increasing the risk of cash flow issues, costly penalties, and supply chain challenges.
We equip insurers with mastered, near real-time data to verify, assess, monitor, and manage these threats. Our unique policy-led risk engine allows insurers to define materiality rules, while automated screening flags when risk arises during the relationship.

How data can help insurers make smarter decisions
Data is crucial for making informed insurance decisions.
When evaluating risk, insurers can evaluate data points like predictive analytics regarding business failure and/or financial metrics that review credit, cash flow, ESG credentials can help to inform underwriting and premium decisions. In this case, data ensures fair pricing and helps insurers assess the likelihood of claims.
When looking to better understand customer needs and improve the customer experience, insurers can collect and use data to tailor products and services.
The insurance industry is highly regulated and must comply with laws and rules set by multiple groups. Data can help surface risks which would make them incompliant if they were to insure or be supplied by a particular company.
Up to date data and predictive analytics regarding business failure and/or financial metrics can help to inform pricing and product decisions. By making effective decisions, insurers can improve their ability to compete on price and offerings.
