Arthur J. Gallagher is putting fresh emphasis on its proprietary CORE360 risk management platform as corporate clients face tighter regulatory scrutiny and rising insurance costs. The framework, positioned as a central element of Gallagher’s pitch to mid-sized and large organizations, is designed to quantify a client’s total cost of risk and highlight where program design changes can reduce that burden according to the official CORE360 product page. Instead of a single software app, CORE360 combines analytics, benchmarking and consulting to map premiums, uncovered losses, retained risk and administrative expenses into one consistent view.

What Gallagher’s CORE360 platform actually delivers

At its core, CORE360 is a structured methodology that Gallagher advisers use with clients to calculate and monitor the so-called total cost of risk, an internal key figure that goes beyond headline insurance premiums. The framework breaks that cost into six main components - including program structure, coverage gaps, retained losses and the internal cost of risk management - and then benchmarks the result against comparable companies and alternative program scenarios, giving boards and CFOs a clearer sense of trade-offs between higher deductibles, different limits and expanded coverage, as described in Gallagher’s risk management materials on its risk services overview. While Gallagher does not publish a list price, the company typically integrates CORE360 into its broader brokerage and consulting relationships, so that the analytics and reporting form part of a longer-term advisory engagement rather than a stand-alone software license.

The platform’s relevance has increased as corporate insurance buyers wrestle with higher property and casualty premiums and more complex cyber, climate and supply-chain risks. By modeling how different program designs affect not just premiums but also expected retained losses and volatility, CORE360 aims to support more data-driven decisions on whether to accept higher deductibles, adjust retentions or restructure global programs, particularly for groups operating across multiple jurisdictions with differing regulatory requirements. Gallagher also uses insights from CORE360 analyses to identify where risk control measures - for example in workplace safety, fleet management or cyber security - could reduce expected loss frequency and severity over time, tightening the link between operational risk measures and the financial profile of the insurance program. For organizations with limited internal risk analytics resources, the combination of structured methodology and broker-led interpretation is a key part of the value proposition.

Gallagher has been highlighting CORE360 more prominently in marketing over the past few years as it competes with other global brokers for complex corporate and public-sector accounts. Industry coverage describes the platform as a core differentiator in pitches to clients that want tighter control over their insurance and risk costs, especially in the mid-market and upper-mid-market segments where internal risk management teams are leaner than at the largest multinationals but the risk landscape is still highly diversified as reported in a recent ad-hoc-news analysis. For Gallagher, each additional client that adopts CORE360 tends to deepen the advisory relationship, because the framework requires ongoing updates as exposures, limits and market conditions change.

Within Arthur J. Gallagher’s portfolio, CORE360 sits inside the global brokerage and risk management operations that generated the bulk of the group’s revenue and profit in recent quarters, and the company continues to invest in analytics capabilities that support the platform’s benchmarking datasets.
