A key reason for this protection gap is that insurance pricing often relies on broad industry categories and regional averages, rather than company-specific risk profiles. Without detailed insights into factors like facility construction, mitigation measures, or asset separation, underwriters may adopt conservative pricing.
Consequently, companies with robust risk management practices can face higher premiums or retain more risk than intended due to limited visibility into potential coverage gaps.
To address these challenges, ScyAI has developed a platform that generates quantified, auditable risk profiles by integrating operational data with external hazard models. This enables organizations to showcase their specific risk characteristics using metrics aligned with those employed by underwriters.
According to the company, early platform users have seen lower insurance premiums and improved coverage terms. ScyAI targets organizations with substantial physical infrastructure, helping address both cost and coverage adequacy to close the existing protection gap.
Bernhard Rannegger, founder and CEO of ScyAI, said that physical risks are becoming a central operational and financial issue for companies. He added that the company’s goal is to help organisations make these risks measurable and easier to understand, enabling risk and insurance teams to make more informed decisions.
