We are Crisp

The world is changing, but our vision of helping to create a digital world that is safe for everyone is more than 18 years in the making.

Our journey

Throughout our journey we’ve trained our AI technology to discover and track the risk signals embedded within digital chatter to be the leading expert in fast, actionable risk intelligence. Today, digital chatter is an essential source of risk intelligence for protecting the global enterprise. We’ve helped digital marketing, communications, trust & safety, security, HR, operations and corporate customers protect their brands, assets and people from reputational damage, security threats and online harms. With Crisp, they are first to know and first to act.

Our story

Now a Kroll business, Crisp was established in 2005 and began by protecting children and teenagers using online games, apps and social networks from pedophiles and child exploitation groups. Since then, our Real-time Risk Intelligence capabilities have expanded to include trolling, hate, media, influencer, terrorist, conspiracy, election interference, bad actor, agenda-driven, fringe and community groups.

As a leading expert in fast, actionable risk intelligence, we have a unique understanding of the risk signals embedded within digital chatter. This expertise is powered by our continuously-trained Risk Intelligence Graph, which helps us to protect our customers’ brands, assets and people from reputational damage, security threats and online harms.

We have spent 18 years training our AI technology to discover and track these risk signals. As a result, Crisp customers get peace of mind, 24/7/365. Today Crisp protects over $6.5 trillion in combined market capitalization for over 1,000 brands. Crisp customers are always first to know and first to act.

Crisp is headquartered in Leeds UK with US offices in Chicago.
