KatRisk, a provider of catastrophic risk modelling software to the insurance and financial services industries, has formally introduced two core segments of its business: KatRisk Intelligence and KatRisk Technology.

KatRisk said that this move also reflects the dynamic nature of catastrophe risk, thereby pressuring re/insurers to evaluate risk with greater speed, precision, and transparency.

The company’s new structure is designed to meet that need, bringing together high-fidelity models, hazard data, and analytics with the technology that operationalizes them.

The scientific foundation is represented by KatRisk Intelligence, bringing together catastrophe models and hazard data, across flood, wildfire, tropical cyclone wind, severe convective storm, and earthquake, and analytics.

Additionally, it is built on high-resolution, physics-based modeling and advanced computational infrastructure, simulating how events originate, evolve, and translate into financial loss. This approach aims to enable a complete and transparent view of risk, supporting underwriting, pricing, and portfolio management decisions with greater confidence and consistency.

KatRisk Technology is the delivery layer that puts that intelligence into action, it includes KatRisk’s suite of solutions, SpatialKat, SoloKat, Perilfinder, and Orchestra. These integrate catastrophe risk directly into underwriting and exposure management workflows.

Orchestra, KatRisk’s model-agnostic analytics and decision engine, gives organisations the flexibility to work with KatRisk’s own models, incorporate third-party views of risk, or bring their own data into a single environment.

The company explained, “This enables teams to compare perspectives, validate assumptions, and make more informed decisions without being locked into a single model or data source.”

Together, the two units create a connected ecosystem bridging the gap between catastrophe science and business decisions, allowing organizations to move beyond static risk views toward dynamic, actionable insight.

Martyn Sutton, General Manager, KatRisk, commented, “This is about making catastrophe risk insights usable at the point of decision, Whether clients are leveraging our models, integrating third-party data, or bringing their own view of risk, we’re enabling them to evaluate it all in one place and act with greater confidence.”
