Risk Identification and Horizon Scanning
The first step in ERM is continuous surveillance and early identification of emerging risks.
- Comprehensive Risk Dashboard: We launched a new Risk Dashboard providing a holistic view across 15 key risk pillars (Geopolitical, Supply Chain, Legal, Cyber, Regulatory, etc.). This dashboard highlights potential enterprise risks with real-time data, improving your ability to devise mitigation strategies before a crisis.
- Theme Landscape for Narrative Risk: Theme Landscape analyzes millions of data points to visualize overarching themes and sentiment via a dynamic treemap. This helps you see the complete narrative landscape and understand which developing narratives might escalate into an external risk.
- Topic Trends for Escalation: 'Topic Trends' lets you track weekly movement in key risk topics and sort by percentage change to spot escalating issues.
- Visualizing the Risk Landscape: We rolled out a suite of powerful new views in our platform. These include a Risk Overview for a high-level snapshot, a Risk Heatmap to compare risk levels, Risk Trends to analyze how risks evolve, and the Risk World Map to pinpoint global hotspots.
Finding the Signals: Discovering What's Next for Reputation Intelligence
Your team shouldn't be focused on sifting through data when you need to anticipate the next major narrative or threat. We built strategic intelligence tools to cut through the noise and help you get ahead:
- For Brand Narratives: Theme Landscape. This strategic tool uses Signal AIQ to analyze millions of data points and visualize overarching themes and sentiment via a dynamic treemap. You can now see the complete narrative landscape and instantly understand which narratives are gaining traction, eliminating guesswork from strategic planning.
- For Reputational Risk: Topic Trends. Topic Trends lets you track weekly movement in key risk topics and sort by percentage change to spot escalating issues. Use Ask AIQ to instantly uncover root risk drivers and gain structured foresight.
- Curated for Influence: Our Premium Social data set of over 100,000 influential voices is now integrated across the platform. This means you gain critical, curated social intelligence from key opinion leaders, unifying every data source, including News, Print, Digital, Podcast, and Social in one place.
- The Social Amplification Score: This new metric focuses squarely on the quality of influence rather than sheer volume, helping you instantly identify articles with the highest potential social impact.
- Strategic Reporting: We launched upgraded Media Impact and Reputation Reports that fuse advanced AI with human expertise. These go beyond simple volume to clearly identify key messages, evaluate spokesperson impact, and benchmark your brand against competitors.
The End of Waiting: Ask AIQ, Your Instant Insights Partner
Time spent waiting for a report is time spent losing control of a narrative. This year marked the launch of Ask AIQ, the first conversational AI agent built specifically for reputation and risk intelligence:
- Ask AIQ for Decision-Grade Insights: Ask AIQ, the first conversational AI agent for risk intelligence, uses conversational language to answer complex risk questions. It delivers fully cited, decision-grade insights from our data.
- Speed and Accuracy: Ask AIQ boasts a market-leading 95% citation accuracy. This helps you instantly uncover root risk drivers.
- Early Warning System: The Ask AIQ Reputation Risk Briefing (Beta) automatically scans 80 predefined risk topics, surfacing early warning signs and emerging threats.
- Ask AIQ Scheduled Send (Beta) allows you to schedule any complex Ask AIQ question at your chosen cadence, daily, weekly, or monthly, delivering critical insights without manual effort.
Expanding your Data-verse
Our exclusive licensing agreements eliminated blind spots in key markets. Highlights include:
- Regulatory Coverage: ERM requires comprehensive, quality data to avoid major blind spots. We expanded our Regulation package by 600+ sources offering broader and deeper monitoring of regulatory news and changes.
- Premium Content: We are one of only two vendors globally with licensed access to tier-one French publishers like Le Monde and Le Figaro. We also added top-tier sources from Italy (La Repubblica and Il Sole 24 ORE), plus the world's leading business media periodical, Campaign Magazine.
- Expanded Broadcast: We significantly strengthened US coverage by adding 50 new broadcast TV stations to our Broadcast TV Eyes US subscription.
Industry Validation & Trust
Recognition confirms our platform's reliability for mission-critical reputation & risk management.
- G2 Leader: Thanks to positive client reviews, we have been consistently recognized by G2 as a Global Media Monitoring Leader, Global PR Analytics Leader, and a Global High Performer.
- We were listed in the prestigious Chartis RiskTech100, validating our technology's market leadership.
