KatRisk, a provider of catastrophic risk modeling software to the insurance and financial services industries, has officially launched its two core business units: KatRisk Intelligence and KatRisk Technology.
This divergence continues the company’s efforts to connect scientific innovation to real-world decision-making in the insurance and financial services industries.
KatRisk said the move also reflects the dynamic nature of catastrophe risk, forcing reinsurers/insurers to assess risks faster, more accurately and with greater transparency.
The company’s new structure is designed to meet this need, combining high-fidelity models, hazard data and analytics with actionable technology.
The scientific foundation is represented by KatRisk Intelligence, which brings together disaster models and hazard data and analysis of floods, wildfires, tropical cyclone winds, severe convective storms and earthquakes.
Additionally, it is built on high-resolution, physics-based modeling and advanced computing infrastructure to simulate how events originate, evolve and translate into economic losses. This approach aims to achieve a complete, transparent view of risk, supporting underwriting, pricing and portfolio management decisions with greater confidence and consistency.
KatRisk technology is the delivery layer that turns intelligence into action and includes KatRisk’s suite of solutions, SpatialKat, SoloKat, Perilfinder and Orchestra. These integrate catastrophe risk directly into underwriting and risk management workflows.
Orchestra is KatRisk’s model-agnostic analytics and decision-making engine, giving organizations the flexibility to use KatRisk’s own models, integrate third-party risk views, or bring their own data into a single environment.
“This enables teams to compare perspectives, validate hypotheses and make more informed decisions without being limited to a single model or data source,” the company explains.
Together, the two units create a connected ecosystem that bridges the gap between disaster science and business decision-making, enabling organizations to move beyond a static view of risk toward dynamic, actionable insights.
Martyn Sutton, managing director at KatRisk, commented: “This is about providing catastrophe risk insights at the time of decision-making, whether customers leverage our models, integrate third-party data, or come up with their own risk perspective, we enable them to assess all of this in one place and act with more confidence.”
