A buyer's guide to enterprise risk management software

Assessing ERM software vendors in the era of AI

AI has rocketed to #2 in the Allianz Risk Barometer 2026, becoming one of the fastest-moving risks your board tracks.

Keeping pace with it takes more than good intentions. It takes an ERM platform whose own AI capabilities actually helps your team spot and act on emerging risks in real time, not just a vendor who claims to "have AI."

This guide gives you a practical framework to evaluate, compare, and choose the right vendor. Use it to:

• Pressure-test vendors' AI and automation claims
• Spot the difference between native agentic AI and ‘bolted-on’ AI
• Vet basic ERM features, data management, security and scalability
• Score up to three vendors side by side
• Validate the vendor behind the product before you sign

Stop taking AI claims at face value. Download the guide to build your evaluation checklist and choose an ERM platform ready for whatever risk comes next.
