Risk Intelligence built to put financial and non-financial risk on the same screen.

SYNE combines financial risk - credit, market and liquidity - with non-financial risk - ESG, climate, supply chain and controversy exposure - into a single integrated signal. A counterparty's balance sheet and its ESG exposure are rarely assessed together, even though they move the same outcome.

What's included

From a balance sheet to a controversy flag, in one signal.

SYNE's Risk Intelligence combines financial analytics, ESG and climate risk, supply chain exposure, and real-time event monitoring into a single integrated view - built for teams who need to see the whole risk picture, not just the part their function usually covers.

Financial Risk Analytics

Credit, market and liquidity risk scoring built on licensed financial and market data.

ESG & Compliance Risk

Non-financial risk drawn directly from ESG, Sustainability and Supplier Ratings - no separate scoring layer.

Climate Risk Integration

Physical and transition climate exposure folded into the same integrated risk signal as financial risk.

Controversy & Event Monitoring

Real-time tracking of adverse events, sanctions, litigation and reputational incidents.

Counterparty & Concentration Risk

Aggregate exposure across counterparties, sectors and geographies to flag hidden concentration.

Early Warning & Alerts

Threshold-based alerts the moment an integrated risk signal crosses a defined level.

SYNE Integrated Risk Model

Four risk categories. One integrated signal.

Every Risk Intelligence signal is built from four categories - Financial, Non-Financial, Event and Concentration risk - combining licensed financial data with SYNE's own ratings, so a single number never hides which category is actually driving it.

F

Financial Risk

Traditional credit and market risk, scored from financial and transactional data.

  • Credit Risk Scoring
  • Market & Liquidity Risk
  • Leverage & Solvency Analysis
  • Payment & Default History
N

Non-Financial Risk

ESG, climate and supply chain risk drawn directly from SYNE's rating products.

  • ESG Risk Data Integration
  • Climate Risk Integration (Physical & Transition)
  • Supply Chain Risk Integration
  • Governance & Compliance Risk
E

Event Risk

Real-time signals that can move a risk profile faster than any periodic review.

  • Controversy & Adverse Media Monitoring
  • Sanctions & Watchlist Screening
  • Litigation & Regulatory Action Tracking
  • Real-Time Alert Thresholds
C

Concentration Risk

Risk that only becomes visible once exposure is aggregated across a book or portfolio.

  • Counterparty Concentration
  • Sector & Geography Concentration
  • Single-Point-of-Failure Flagging
  • Portfolio-Wide Aggregation
End to end

From raw risk data to a single, monitored signal.

Risk Intelligence is delivered as a live feed, combining scheduled rating refreshes with real-time event monitoring.

Who uses Risk Intelligence

Built for anyone who has to price or approve risk, not just describe it.

Financial and non-financial risk teams typically work from separate systems, on separate cycles - Risk Intelligence puts both on one screen for a shared decision.

Credit Risk Teams & Lenders

See ESG and climate exposure alongside traditional credit metrics before approving a facility.

Investors & Asset Managers

Screen positions for correlated financial and non-financial risk before allocation decisions.

Insurers & Underwriters

Price policies using an integrated view of financial stability, climate exposure and reputational risk.

Procurement & Counterparty Risk Teams

Combine supplier financial health with compliance and continuity risk in a single onboarding check.

Compliance & Financial Crime Teams

Layer sanctions, watchlist and adverse media screening on top of existing risk assessments.

Corporate Treasury

Monitor counterparty and concentration risk across banking relationships and trading partners.

Why Risk Intelligence matters

Financial and non-financial risk usually live in different systems - and rarely talk to each other.

A credit team can approve a facility without seeing a live controversy flag. An ESG team can flag a supplier risk without knowing the counterparty is already under financial distress. Both teams are working from a partial picture - and the risk that actually materialises is often the one sitting in the gap between the two systems.

Silos

Why risk teams work from partial pictures

Financial and non-financial risk assessments are usually run by different teams, on different systems, on different schedules.

Correlated risk

What it means for lenders & investors

Financial distress and ESG deterioration are often correlated, not independent - seeing them together surfaces risk earlier than either view alone.

Speed

What it means for event risk

A controversy or sanctions listing can move faster than any scheduled review - real-time monitoring closes that gap.

The signal

What the intelligence actually tells you

Which category - financial, ESG, climate, or event - is actually driving a counterparty's risk right now, not a blended number that hides it.

Methodology

What separates SYNE Risk Intelligence from a credit score.

Four principles run through every integrated risk signal, from a single counterparty check to a portfolio-wide risk sweep.

Foundation

Built on independent ratings & data

Non-financial risk components draw directly on already-published SYNE Ratings and licensed data - not a new proprietary black box.

Speed

Real-time event monitoring

Controversy, sanctions and litigation tracking runs continuously, not on the same cycle as scheduled ratings.

Independence

Regulatory-grade independence

Operating under the same independence standards as every SYNE Rating, with methodology published.

Transparency

Categories stay visible

The integrated signal never hides which of the four risk categories is actually driving the overall result.

Intelligence vs. a rating

Risk Intelligence is a combined signal, not a new rating.

A SYNE Rating judges one dimension of an entity in depth. Risk Intelligence combines several of those judgements with financial data and real-time events into a single decision-support signal.

The distinction

Combined, not independently scored

Risk Intelligence doesn't run a new independent assessment - it combines existing ratings, licensed financial data, and event monitoring.

Update cadence

Real-time for events, scheduled for ratings

Event risk updates continuously; financial and non-financial rating components refresh on their own underlying schedules.

Delivery

Dashboard, API, or alerting

Accessible as a live dashboard, an API feed into credit or procurement systems, or threshold-based alerting.

Integration

Draws on every SYNE Rating

Pulls directly from ESG, Sustainability, Carbon and Supplier Ratings, plus licensed financial and market data.
