The Chartis 2026 quadrant update highlights how organisations are responding to growing regulatory complexity and expanding data volumes. The report identifies several key trends shaping the market:

• Increased use of artificial intelligence to improve workflow efficiency and transparency
• Expansion of data sources used for watchlist and adverse media monitoring
• Adoption of cloud-based architectures to support scalability and performance
• Use of advanced technologies, including large language models, to help reduce false positives

These developments are driving demand for solutions that can handle large-scale data processing while maintaining speed, accuracy and auditability.

Chartis’ RiskTech Quadrant® provides a structured view of the vendor landscape, assessing providers based on completeness of offering and market potential. Within this framework:

• Category leaders demonstrate strength across a broad set of capabilities and consistent execution of strategy
• Best-of-breed providers deliver leading functionality in specific areas or use cases

This methodology enables organisations to compare solutions and select technologies aligned to their specific operational and regulatory requirements.

The report also notes that the use of watchlist screening and adverse media monitoring is expanding beyond financial institutions into broader sectors, including corporates and supply chain management. This shift reflects the growing importance of third-party risk management and the need for consistent, reliable data across global operations.

As organisations seek to manage these risks, the ability to integrate data, automate workflows and deliver transparent results is becoming increasingly important. Chartis highlights capabilities such as data orchestration, AI-driven workflow design and enhanced reporting as differentiators among leading vendors.
