See the risks
behind the risks.

Businesses are increasingly exposed to risks that extend far beyond their own operations. Energy systems, infrastructure, supply chains, climate, technology and geopolitics are interconnected. Disruption in one place can have consequences across entire industries.

NIRI gives insurance brokers a deeper understanding of these connections — helping them uncover hidden exposures, anticipate disruption and deliver more valuable risk advice to their clients.

The world of risk is changing

Risk no longer stops at the boundaries of a business.

Businesses depend on complex networks of infrastructure, suppliers, resources and services. These connections create vulnerabilities that are difficult to see through conventional risk assessments alone.

As these systems become more interconnected, understanding individual risks is no longer enough. Brokers need to understand how risks connect, how disruption propagates and where their clients are vulnerable.

One event · Many consequences
01

Electricity disruption

Production stops. Temperature-controlled goods are threatened. Logistics and customer commitments are disrupted.

02

Port closure

A delayed shipment becomes a supplier failure, then a production constraint across several otherwise unrelated industries.

03

Severe weather event

Infrastructure, suppliers, employees and customers can be affected at the same time — creating correlated operational and insured exposure.

The visible incident is only the beginning. NIRI is designed to make the network behind it easier to understand.

A new capability for insurance brokers

From insurance intermediary to strategic risk intelligence partner.

NIRI is designed to help brokers move beyond traditional, renewal-led conversations and develop a deeper understanding of the businesses they advise.

By connecting infrastructure, supply-chain, geographic, operational and risk information, the platform can help translate complex dependencies into practical client advice.

01

Discover hidden dependencies

Understand the infrastructure, suppliers, resources and systems on which clients rely — including the vulnerabilities that conventional renewal information may not reveal.

02

Anticipate disruption

Explore forward-looking scenarios involving climate, energy, infrastructure, geopolitical and supply-chain events, and consider how consequences could propagate.

03

Understand business impact

Connect a disruptive event to potential operational, economic and business interruption consequences, with assumptions and uncertainty made visible.

04

Improve resilience

Identify practical interventions that could reduce vulnerability, shorten recovery and support more informed business continuity and risk engineering conversations.

05

Identify insurance opportunities

Explore whether emerging exposures are already addressed and where insurance, alternative risk financing or specialist advice may merit further review.

Turn insight into commercial value

Better intelligence.
Better conversations.
Greater client value.

NIRI has the potential to create value for brokers at multiple levels — from individual client relationships to portfolio-wide risk insight. The commercial opportunity is to uncover needs that conventional renewal-led broking may miss.

01

Deeper client relationships

Give clients insight into vulnerabilities they may not have identified themselves. Become a more relevant, informed and strategic adviser.

02

New advisory opportunities

Identify potential demand for resilience assessments, risk engineering, business continuity, supply-chain analysis and specialist risk management.

03

New insurance opportunities

Reveal changing or previously unrecognised exposures that may require a different insurance structure, additional protection or alternative risk transfer.

04

Portfolio intelligence

Identify shared dependencies and potential accumulation across clients, while protecting confidential information through appropriate aggregation and anonymisation.

Stronger relationships. More relevant advice. More informed opportunities to provide specialist services and insurance.

From reactive to anticipatory

Don’t wait for the loss to reveal the exposure.

Insurance has traditionally played a critical role in helping businesses recover from losses. The changing risk environment creates an opportunity to do more.

NIRI is intended to help brokers identify vulnerabilities before disruption occurs. The objective is not to replace insurance — it is to make insurance advice more informed, relevant and connected to the real risks businesses face.

Reactive

The exposure becomes clear after the event.

Understand the systems behind your clients

A wider view of the physical economy.

NIRI’s ambition is to connect information across the systems that underpin business activity. Its differentiator is not a collection of unrelated risk tools, but a way to understand the connections between them — and their potential operational and insurance consequences.

Explore what interconnected risk intelligence can reveal.

Explore an illustrative demonstration of how NIRI can connect a critical infrastructure disruption to its wider economic, operational and insurance consequences.

The Mutual Energy case study examines a hypothetical prolonged outage of the Moyle Interconnector and explores how disruption could affect electricity system conditions, downstream businesses, financial exposure and insurance considerations.

It demonstrates the potential of NIRI’s interconnected risk intelligence approach in one specific context.

Demo

The case study uses illustrative scenarios and synthetic assumptions where appropriate. It demonstrates a potential analytical approach; it is not a validated operational forecast, an actual loss estimate or a statement of actual client exposure.

Built for the changing risk landscape

A platform for a more complex risk environment.

The same underlying approach could be applied across different industries, clients and risk scenarios. These areas describe the wider scope and potential of the NIRI concept, not capabilities that are all fully developed or independently validated today.
