Owlin Named Among the Top 100 Global Risk Technology Providers for 2027 by Chartis
Owlin has been named among the top 100 global risk technology providers for 2027 in the Chartis RiskTech100®, the most comprehensive independent study of risk and compliance technology vendors worldwide. This is the third consecutive year Owlin appears in the ranking, after 2025 and 2026.
The recognition follows a year in which Owlin was named a Category Leader in two Chartis quadrant reports: the 2026 RiskTech Quadrant® for Adverse Media Solutions, for the third year running, and the 2026 Integrated GRC Quadrant® for Third-Party Risk Management.
“Being ranked in the RiskTech100® for the third consecutive year confirms that the focus we have is the right one. Most TPRM programs already have the process and the platform, but are missing a reliable data-based view of what is happening outside their own walls. This is what Owlin adds: signals that matter, with supporting evidence, delivered into existing workflows. This recognition belongs to our team, and to our clients who keep pushing us to raise the bar.”
– Stefan Peekel | Chief Growth Officer at Owlin
What the RiskTech100® evaluates
Chartis assesses vendors across six dimensions: functionality, core technology, strategy, customer satisfaction, market presence, and innovation. The RiskTech100® has run annually for more than two decades. Financial institutions, investors, and analysts use it to benchmark the providers shaping the risk and compliance technology market, and they treat the ranking and its category awards as the industry’s primary reference for the risk technology landscape.
About Owlin
Owlin is an AI-powered third-party risk intelligence platform that helps financial institutions and corporates identify, understand, and act on external risk signals. Owlin started in Amsterdam in 2012 and has since added offices in New York and Seattle. Major US and EU banks and financial institutions rely on Owlin, along with payment service providers, private equity firms, and corporates worldwide.
The platform screens and continuously monitors companies across adverse media, sanctions, PEPs, state-owned enterprises, watchlists, CFPB complaints, and 8-K and 10-K filings, drawing on sources across global geographies. Owlin links every risk signal to its source and scores it for severity, so analysts can see why the platform flagged a company, not only that it did.
Owlin’s Responsible Intelligence principles shape this approach: Evidence Before AI, Explainable by Design, and Humans Stay in Control.
Owlin supports third-party, vendor, merchant, supplier, and counterparty risk use cases, and helps teams meet requirements under DORA, PSD3, CSDDD, and KYC and AML regulations. Teams get these insights through the Owlin Dashboard, email alerts, and an API that brings risk intelligence into existing GRC platforms and workflows.
Owlin is ISO 27001 certified, and the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has validated its near-term emissions reduction targets.
