Emerging risk monitoring & horizon scanning, every Monday

Emerging risk monitoring — horizon scanning, in auditor language — is the systematic watch for risks that haven’t reached your supply chain yet. Yours arrives as a personalised weekly scan across food safety, fraud and chemical regulation — scoped to your ingredients, origins and suppliers. It carries only what has changed in your risks. One hour a week is enough to pull your action items out of it — you do not have to watch for alerts across the other four days.

What is emerging risk monitoring (horizon scanning)?

Emerging risk monitoring — also called horizon scanning — is the systematic identification of food-safety, fraud and regulatory risks before they materialise in a supply chain. GFSI-benchmarked standards increasingly expect it; most teams still do it by skimming newsletters. iComplai automates it: every week, AI and rule-based algorithms sift roughly 700,000 signals into a personalised dashboard covering all three risk pillars, flag anomalies and deviations worth a closer look, and rank the substances heading for regulatory scrutiny using legislative signals and EFSA/EPA opinion trends. The prediction horizon reaches up to 12 months out. The approach is publicly validated: iComplai’s models flagged the ethylene-oxide pattern in sesame in September 2020 — RASFF notifications and EU regulatory action followed, with 7 of 8 predictions confirmed.

Weekly Risk Dashboards

AI and rule-based algorithms identify emerging risks each week — customised to your sourcing countries, ingredients and suppliers, delivered automatically.

Anomaly & deviation alerts: know where to look
Covers all three pillars in one weekly view

Hazards ranked by how far their notification rate has risen in the last thirty days, for a three-ingredient portfolio — misbranding, mislabelling, nutrient, salmonella, mycotoxin and aflatoxin all above their monthly average.

Ethylene oxide in sesame — 7 of 8 predictions confirmed

AI models flagged the EtO pattern in Sep 2020; RASFF notifications and EU regulatory action followed — iComplai clients had already adjusted sourcing.

Common questions about horizon scanning

Is horizon scanning the same as emerging risk monitoring?

Yes — two names for one discipline. “Horizon scanning” is the term auditors and GFSI documentation tend to use; “emerging risk monitoring” describes the operational practice. One system covers both: a documented, weekly, portfolio-specific scan you can show an auditor.

How many signals feed the weekly dashboard?

Roughly 700,000 signals per week — official notifications, global media in multiple languages, and regulatory sources — filtered to your ingredients, origins and suppliers. Anomaly and deviation detection points analysts at what changed, instead of asking them to read everything.
