FRISS
Trust Automation platform that scores every P&C quote, renewal, claim and counterparty in real time.
By FRISS · HQ Mason, US · 4.0/5 Value-Position score (estimate)
Positioning guardrails
Best for
- P&C insurers that need every quote, renewal and claim scored for trustworthiness in real time
- Claims organisations triaging volume: fast-track honest claims, route flagged files to a human
- Compliance teams that must screen sanctions, PEP and CDD data continuously, not once at onboarding
- Carriers already running Guidewire, Duck Creek or Sapiens policy and claims platforms
- Insurers building an audit trail for AML/CDD and special-investigation evidence
Ideal size: Enterprise carriers, 500+ employees people · Mature P&C carrier with integrated policy admin and claims data
Not for
- Life, health and specialty insurers outside property & casualty lines
- Small carriers without the policy, claims and third-party data feeds real-time scoring depends on
- Buyers who want self-serve signup, instant trials or published list pricing
- Teams looking for a generic KYC/AML tool that is not tied to insurance claims and underwriting workflows

Bottom line
FRISS is a Trust Automation platform for P&C insurers. It scores the trustworthiness of quotes, renewals and claims in real time by combining internal policy and claims data with external records, returning a risk score and the rationale behind it. Trustworthy files move straight through; flagged ones go to a human. Modules span claims and underwriting analytics, investigations, KYC/compliance screening and media forensics. FRISS reports 300+ implementations across 45+ countries.
Frequently asked questions
What does FRISS actually automate?
It scores the trustworthiness of each transaction across the policy lifecycle. At underwriting, applications above the carrier's risk threshold are routed to an underwriter while the rest bind straight through. At claims, honest claims are fast-tracked and questionable files go to a person. Separate modules add structured investigations, continuous sanctions, PEP and CDD screening, and media checks for manipulated, reused or AI-generated claim images and PDFs. Every score carries its rationale, so a reviewer can see why a file was flagged and overrule it.
How long does it take to go live?
FRISS states that FRISS Compliance Screening goes live within two weeks, with value from day one. Timelines for the claims and underwriting analytics modules depend on how quickly the carrier can connect policy administration, claims and external data feeds, so a full multi-module rollout should be planned as a longer programme than the compliance screening starter.
Will it replace our underwriters and claims investigators?
No. FRISS positions the platform as automating repetitive screening work, not people. Straight-through processing handles routine files and investigations handle the flagged ones, so underwriters, claims handlers and special investigators concentrate on cases that genuinely need human judgement. The vendor also stresses that scores explain their reasoning, which keeps reviewers in control of overrides.
Which systems does FRISS integrate with?
FRISS states it connects with major policy administration and claims platforms including Guidewire, Duck Creek Technologies and Sapiens, plus a wider partner network covering data providers such as Verisk, Carfax and Creditsafe. Those connectors are used across underwriting, claims and compliance workflows, so most carriers can wire scoring into the systems they already run.
Is FRISS pricing published, and what should we budget?
No list pricing is published on the vendor site; FRISS is sold as an enterprise, quote-based engagement scoped to the carrier and its volumes. Budgeting should therefore include the platform licence, data-provider feeds and internal integration effort rather than a per-seat subscription, and the vendor should be asked for a phased commercial proposal covering the modules you intend to run first.
Does FRISS use our data to train its models?
The vendor pages reviewed do not state whether customer data is used to train FRISS models or third-party models, so this should be raised directly in contracting. Ask for the current data processing terms covering claims, policy and external data, plus confirmation of retention, model-training and subprocessor practices before signing.
