NEW YORK, Dec. 6, 2017 — Kroll (“the Company”), a global leader in risk mitigation, investigations, compliance, cyber resilience, security, and incident response solutions, today announced it has partnered with data science consultancy Sigmoidal as its artificial intelligence (AI) technology partner for Kroll’s Due Diligence and Compliance suite of services. Together with the Company’s deep knowledge, global resources, and wide-ranging compliance offerings, the integration of AI into Kroll’s proprietary technology reflects the Company’s commitment to continuous innovation and process improvements in support of compliance professionals worldwide.

“Organizations today are under extraordinary pressure to meet expanding regulatory mandates.

“Artificial intelligence is the catalyst that gives humans more time to do what they do best – think creatively,” said Mariusz Kierski, CEO of Sigmoidal. “We are pleased to partner with Kroll and its world-class team of distinguished analysts and investigators to take artificial intelligence to the next level for its clients. By leveraging Kroll’s deep research expertise and decades of fieldwork, we will continually refine Kroll’s artificial intelligence capabilities to help provide curated insights faster than ever before.
