Verification at the speed of social media

The challenge five years ago was real-time discovery. Today the explosion of misinformation and disinformation clutters social media with noise, paralyzing decision-making and wasting critical resources.

Factal is the only company that combines lightning-fast discovery with trusted verification into a single platform, outpacing other breaking news sources. By acting on real-time facts, you accelerate your response time without taxing your team.

A new level of mapping precision

Breaking news events are geolocated with unprecedented speed and precision. In an instant, you’ll know if a high-risk incident is developing in close proximity to global offices, stores, supply lines or company events — even down to the meter.

Factal makes maps more actionable than ever, both on Factal's platform and a growing roster of partners like ESRI and Emergent Risk.

Finally, a real-time platform that makes your job easier

Designed like a modern consumer news experience with frequent feature updates, Factal's site and mobile app make it easy to see the world's breaking news events and customize what's important to your company.

You can configure just the alerts that matter to you, on any screen, wherever you are. By rising above the noise, you get more done.

Introducing a new era of collaboration

When you log into Factal, you're not alone. Together with our on-duty editors, you're connecting with the largest real-time community of security and disaster response professionals in the world.

That's because global incidents – like a severe weather event – impact more than one organization at a time. By collaborating under a shared mission, we are safer together.

The Factal journalism advantage

Verification is much more than blue check marks and rewritten Tweets. Factal’s experienced editors weigh multiple sources, pointing out inconsistencies and prioritizing important details – fast.

Written in ready-to-distribute AP style, Factal’s alerts provide clear sourcing, vital context and, when necessary, immediate corrections. Other services don't acknowledge errors, putting you at risk.

Free access for life-saving NGOs

Disaster response and humanitarian aid nonprofits like Team Rubicon, Direct Relief and Samaritan's Purse have free access to Factal.

NGOs not only use Factal to help people impacted by major events and disasters, but also to protect their global employees and volunteers who work in the world’s most dangerous countries. Learn more about the program and apply for free NGO access.

Founded by award-winning journalists on a public service mission to protect people from harm around the world, Factal is a news organization grounded in a comprehensive code of ethics. From data privacy to newsroom practices, Factal works hard to gain your trust.
