FRISS and Verisk Claims UK Join Forces to Combat Digital Media Fraud

Utrecht, 10 July 2025 – FRISS, the world’s leading provider of Trust Automation for P&C insurers, has announced a strategic collaboration with Verisk Claims UK, the leading insurtech and data analytics provider covering the end-to-end claims life cycle across the insurance ecosystem. This collaboration introduces the EU edition of Verisk’s powerful Digital Media Forensic service into FRISS Media Check, a newly launched solution suite designed to help insurers in the European market tackle the escalating threat of photo and document (digital media) fraud head-on.

 As the volume of digital media in underwriting and claims workflows accelerates, so does the complexity of verifying its authenticity. Traditional validation methods are increasingly inadequate in detecting sophisticated manipulation. Verisk’s Digital Media Forensics applies advanced AI-driven algorithms to unstructured image data, systematically analyzing each customer-submitted loss photo to identify anomalies and potential fraud with speed and precision.

 With Verisk’s Digital Media Forensic service incorporated with FRISS Media Check, insurers can detect manipulated media evidence more reliably, trace the origin of files, and identify inconsistencies that could signal fraud. This joint effort delivers critical functionality at a time when digital trust is under constant threat, enabling insurers to make better informed decisions and protect both their operations and honest policyholders. 

 “Digital fraud continues to evolve at an alarming pace, and the explosive rise of deep fakesover the past year has introduced an unprecedented threat to the insurance industry,” said Pieter Nel, Chief Commercial Officer at FRISS. “By partnering with Verisk, we have embedded advanced forensic capabilities into our solution suite - empowering insurers to verify digital media with confidence, stay ahead of increasingly sophisticated fraud attempts, and make faster, more accurate decisions while mitigating risk.”

 FRISS Media Check offers a comprehensive set of capabilities that help insurers validate media integrity to ensure accurate risk evaluation at underwriting and detect fraud before claims are paid. By leveraging AI-driven analysis and forensic expertise, FRISS Media Check provides insurers with a powerful solution to safeguard their operations against increasingly sophisticated fraudulent schemes.

 “This strategic collaboration between Verisk and Friss underscores the strength of combining industry-leading technologies within a shared ecosystem to combat insurance fraud. Together, we are empowering insurers to enhance fraud detection, mitigate risk exposure, and strengthen trust in digital evidence—contributing to a more secure, efficient, and resilientinsurance ecosystem.”
