Strategic Solution Partners: Meet our 2026 Exhibitors
The #RISK BFSI Executive Forum is designed to bridge the gap between high-level strategy and practical execution. We have hand-selected a group of solution partners who specialise in helping senior leaders navigate the "grey areas" of modern risk.
The Protecht Group: Navigating Resilience and Regulatory Intelligence
The Protecht Group is a global leader in Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) and Operational Resilience, making them a perfect fit for our attendees currently grappling with DORA and the shifting expectations of the PRA and FCA. Their platform, Protecht ERM, is renowned for its ability to unify risk, compliance, and internal audit into a single, boardroom-ready dashboard. For the senior leaders in the room, Protecht provides the "strategic lens" needed to move beyond simple monitoring and into AI-enhanced risk quantification, ensuring that your enterprise resilience isn't just a paper exercise, but a competitive advantage.
RiskSmart: Redefining GRC with Simplicity and Speed
RiskSmart aligns perfectly with our theme of "Authority in the Face of Volatility" by removing the manual friction that often slows down strategic response. Designed by risk professionals who understand the pitfalls of legacy GRC software, RiskSmart offers a tech-led platform that prioritises user adoption and automated reporting. For BFSI firms looking to scale their GRC functions quickly without being weighed down by months of implementation, RiskSmart provides the clarity and data-driven insights necessary to keep the ExCo informed and the business agile.
Resolver: Powering Data-Driven Risk Intelligence
As BFSI organisations face an increasingly complex threat landscap, from financial crime to intricate technology risk, Resolver offers the deep analytical power required to connect the dots. Their platform specialises in turning disparate risk data into actionable intelligence, helping Chief Risk Officers and Internal Audit heads move from a reactive posture to a proactive one. Resolver’s focus on the "high-stakes" areas of risk management makes them an essential partner for leaders who need to demonstrate to the board how specific risks directly impact the firm's bottom line and strategic goals.
Mitek Systems: Establishing Digital Trust in an AI-Driven Landscape
Mitek Systems is a global pioneer in digital identity verification and mobile capture, offering senior BFSI leaders a robust defense against the rising tide of sophisticated fraud, including deepfakes and synthetic identity theft. As financial institutions move toward more digital-first engagement, Mitek’s Verified Identity Platform (MiVIP) provides a unified orchestration engine that combines biometrics, document authentication, and real-time fraud signals. For the attendees of the #RISK BFSI Executive Forum, Mitek offers a critical piece of the puzzle: the ability to balance stringent regulatory compliance (KYC/AML) with a high-speed, low-friction customer experience. Their presence is essential for leaders looking to sharpen their "Human Firewall" and ensure that digital trust remains a foundational asset in an increasingly volatile environment.
