Insurance

Insurance providers face a complex and rapidly evolving risk landscape shaped by rising customer expectations, climate-related losses, economic uncertainty, and emerging digital risks. Digitization across underwriting, claims, distribution, and third-party ecosystems has expanded risk exposure, particularly in cyber risk, data privacy, model risk management, and fraud. Insurers must also navigate strict oversight from regulators such as state insurance commissions, EIOPA, and the NAIC, and comply with frameworks such as Solvency II and ORSA requirements.

MetricStream's AI-first Connected GRC solution helps insurance providers achieve operational resilience by unifying risk management, compliance, and cyber risk oversight in a single platform. The solution delivers real-time, enterprise-wide risk visibility and streamlines adherence to regulatory frameworks, enabling insurers to proactively manage risk and compliance across all lines of defense, from front-line business units to executive management and the board.

MetricStream's Regulatory Compliance solution helps insurance organizations stay compliant with federal and state regulations across multiple geographies and insured product types.
