Regulatory & Compliance
Recognition in Risk Intelligence and Data Management Category reflects iluminr’s work turning scenarios, exercises and response activity into intelligence about organizational capability.
SYDNEY - 24 September 2026 - iluminr, the capability intelligence platform for operational resilience and risk teams, has been named a RiskTech100 2027 Disruptor in Risk Intelligence and Data Management by Chartis Research.
Now in its 21st year, the RiskTech100 recognizes leading companies in risk and compliance technology globally. More than 900 companies were considered for the 2027 research, which assesses providers across areas including innovation, functionality, market strategy, customer satisfaction and organizational strength.
The recognition comes at a time when organizations are managing a rapidly changing risk environment shaped by AI, cyber threats, geopolitical volatility, third-party dependencies and increasing regulatory expectations.
Understanding how an organization will perform through those conditions has become an important source of risk intelligence.
“Every scenario gives you information about the organization,” said Marcus Vaughan, Cofounder and Chief Growth Officer of iluminr. “You see how people make decisions, where dependencies emerge, how quickly teams mobilize and where capability needs to develop. iluminr makes that evidence visible and useful at scale.”
iluminr enables organizations to continuously exercise teams against emerging and material risks through simulations and scenario testing. The platform captures behavioral evidence from the decisions, actions and interactions that follow, building a richer picture of organizational capability over time.
That intelligence helps leaders identify patterns, understand capability gaps, track improvement and focus investment where it can have the greatest impact.
“I am delighted to see the hard work and foresight shown by iluminr helping risk and resilience teams meet regulatory requirements but also to focus on the human element of response – identifying blind spots, enhancing decision making under pressure in the midst of uncertainty, and connecting the participants to the scenario. This is just the next evolution for iluminr. I suspect that they will continue to build and be the leading disruptor for quite a few years.”
- Colm Gayton, Operational Resilience Manager, AXA Ireland
The recognition follows continued expansion of iluminr’s platform and its use by complex, highly regulated organizations globally. Recent developments include AI-supported scenario creation and contextualization, interactive simulations, behavioral evidence and capability insights that enable more frequent testing and continuous learning.
iluminr has also been recognized by Gartner, including as a Cool Vendor and Sample Vendor in multiple Hype Cycle reports, and by GRC 20/20.
“We see enormous intelligence in how organizations practice and respond,” said Joshua Shields, CEO and Cofounder of iluminr. “Every exercise creates evidence about how an organization works under pressure. At enterprise scale, that evidence can show how capability is changing, where attention is needed and where organizations should invest to prepare for what comes next.”
