About Us


In an era where uncertainties and complexities intersect, One Concern stands distinct, lighting the path forward. We're not just a company; we're a revolution. Harnessing the formidable power of AI, data science, and deep catastrophe modeling, we've birthed a digital twin of our world that reveals what others miss: the intricate web of outside-the-fence risks that could spell disaster or opportunity.

For too long, industries have been paralyzed by climate uncertainties, forced to rely on outdated metrics and broad-brush approaches. At One Concern, we're challenging that status quo. Our precision technology dives deep, differentiating properties and businesses based on their real-world vulnerabilities and potential, from power outages to supply chain disruptions.

Financial services, insurance, and beyond: wherever there's a need to quantify risk, reshape strategy, and harness opportunity amidst climate challenges, we're there. We don't just provide data; we provide foresight, translating tangible and intangible threats into financial decisions. Our resilience metrics are a testament to this, giving industries a unique benchmark against which to measure, prepare, and thrive.

Choose One Concern, and embark on a journey from uncertainty to clarity, from risk to resilience.
