Featuring

Chris Oatts
Head of Data and Product Strategy

2025 was a landmark year for product innovation at Company Watch, shaped by rapid changes in how organisations assess financial, fraud and cyber risk. As risk becomes more complex and interconnected, single scores are no longer enough — businesses need clearer context, better insight and tools that support confident decision-making.

In this video conversation, Chris Oatts, Head of Data & Product Strategy, joins Steve Savage to reflect on the thinking behind a year of major platform developments. The discussion explores how customer feedback, trusted data and practical applications of AI are influencing the way Company Watch approaches risk intelligence.

Chris shares the story behind key releases, including our multi-award-winning fraud detection tool, Vigilance™, the introduction of cyber risk scoring, AI-supported risk narratives, and continued improvements to usability and visualisation across the platform. Together, these developments aim to give teams a more rounded, actionable view of risk across suppliers, customers and portfolios.

The conversation also looks ahead, touching on how Company Watch is continuing to evolve its product roadmap in response to emerging threats, regulatory change and the growing role of AI in risk assessment.
