What began as a specialized division within the legal and professional information giant LexisNexis has blossomed into a global leader in data and analytics. The journey of LexisNexis Risk Solutions started in the year 2000, born from a clear and pressing need within the risk management space. While its roots are intertwined with the long and respected history of its parent company's information management, LexisNexis Risk Solutions was forged to address a new frontier of challenges in an increasingly complex world. The early days were marked by a period of rapid growth and innovation, establishing the company as a separate and formidable entity. This initial momentum was fueled by a deep understanding of data and a vision for how it could be harnessed to mitigate risk and empower better decision-making.

The company's evolution has been a story of strategic expansion and technological advancement. Rather than resting on its initial success, LexisNexis Risk Solutions embarked on an ambitious path of growth, both organically and through key acquisitions. This strategy allowed the company to continually enhance its capabilities, integrating new technologies and expanding its reach into new industries and international markets. A pivotal moment in this journey was the integration of six Data Services brands in 2020, which significantly broadened its portfolio and solidified its position as a comprehensive data analytics provider. Today, with a global workforce of over 11,000 individuals and a presence in more than 180 countries, LexisNexis Risk Solutions stands as a testament to the power of turning information into insight. From its headquarters in metro Atlanta, Georgia, it continues to build on its legacy, providing the critical intelligence that helps businesses and governments navigate the complexities of risk, fight fraud, and ultimately, create a safer and more secure world for everyone.
