Why it works differently
Page-level
Our AI tools assess your reports and score your ESG position, fast, evidence-backed, and traceable. A report is produced.
ranked
Gaps are prioritised by compliance impact, so effort goes where it matters most, not spread evenly across everything.
EVIDENCE-BACKED
Each recommendation is paired with the reasoning behind it, defensible outputs, not a black-box score.
INDICATOR-level
Assessment goes indicator by indicator, you see exactly which criteria are met, partially met, or missing.
- APPLICATION 1
InsightX for ISSB IFRS S1/S2
Assesses sustainability and annual reports against ISSB IFRS S1 and S2 disclosure requirements, pinpointing gaps in climate-related and general sustainability disclosures before they become a compliance issue.
For ESG consultants and listed companies with ISSB disclosure obligation.
Why ISSB compliance is harder than it looks
SECTOR CHALLENGE
SUPPLY CHAIN COMPLEXITY
Industries with fragmented or SME-heavy supply chains, construction, transportation, face structural barriers to disclosure. Scope 1 and 2 emissions are difficult to track accurately when operations span many independent contractors and varied asset types.
UNIVERSAL CHALLENGE
Strategy disclosures feel commercially sensitive
Even top-performing PLCs consistently under-disclose on Strategy, Metrics & Targets. ISSB requirements touch financial position, business model, value chain, and decision-making, disclosures many companies treat as
commercially sensitive. The result: gaps in the very areas regulators and investors scrutinise most.
SYSTEMIC ISSUE
Poor performers face deeper barriers
Lagging companies rarely have a single gap. Disclosure shortfalls tend to reflect systemic issues, absent internal data infrastructure, unclear ownership of ESG reporting, or frameworks that were adopted nominally without being embedded in operations.
InsightX surfaces exactly where these gaps appear in a company’s own reports, giving consultants and companies alike a clear, evidence-backed starting point for remediation.
- Covers both IFRS S1 and S2 — together
IFRS S1 and S2 are designed to operate together, with intentional overlap in provisions. InsightX assesses both in a single pass, reflecting how the standards are actually structured, not treating them as separate checklists.
- Low-hanging fruit identified first
Recommended actions are sequenced by ease of disclosure, not just compliance impact, so PLCs and their consultants know what can be addressed quickly and what requires deeper remediation work.
- Paragraph-level traceability
Every finding cites the exact paragraph in the source report where a gap or weakness was identified. Outputs are audit and assurance-ready, not a summary judgment, but a traceable evidence trail.
- Traffic light completeness tracking
Reports use a traffic light and percentage system throughout, giving PLCs and consultants an immediate, visual read on disclosure completeness across every requirement area, without having to interpret dense technical text.
- Expert-curated, consistently applied
Assessment parameters are expert-curated and applied consistently across every report — so findings are comparable, defensible, and not subject to variation between reviewers or engagements.
- Accelerates baseline readiness assessment
For PLCs beginning their ISSB compliance journey, InsightX replaces the most time-intensive part of baseline assessment, systematically identifying what is missing before any remediation planning begins.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What to expect
InsightX analyses sustainability reports and annual reports submitted by listed companies. For ISSB IFRS S1/S2 gap analysis, reports are assessed against the full set of disclosure requirements across both standards. For FTSE4Good gap analysis, reports are assessed against the FTSE4Good scoring methodology applicable to Bursa Malaysia-listed companies.
InsightX applies expert-curated assessment parameters consistently across every report, eliminating variation between reviewers and producing traceable, audit-ready outputs faster than manual review. Every finding cites the exact paragraph in the source document, so there is no ambiguity about what was assessed or how a conclusion was reached.
InsightX is designed as an aid for report preparers and consultants, not a substitute for professional judgement. Many provisions within IFRS S1 are principles-based and inherently require an exercise of judgement, including areas such as Materiality (S1.17–S1.19), Connected Information (S1.21–S1.23), Sources of Guidance (S1.54–S1.59), Judgement (S1.74–S1.76), and Measurement Uncertainty (S1.77–S1.82). For these provisions, InsightX identifies whether the relevant disclosures are present and flags gaps, but assessment of disclosure quality in judgement-sensitive areas remains the domain of the consultant or preparer.
InsightX is focused on compliance gap identification, it assesses whether required disclosures are present and where they fall short, rather than evaluating the quality of complex technical disclosures such as Scenario Analysis. For areas requiring deep qualitative verification, InsightX outputs are best used alongside expert advisory review.
InsightX for FTSE4Good is designed for use by ESG consultants running assessments on behalf of their clients. Listed companies looking for direct ESG disclosure support and FTSE4Good score improvement should explore the AI-SRA Sustainability Ratings Advisory Service.
Yes. Both applications are available through Sustenyx and can be run on the same report. Many consultants use both; particularly when a client has simultaneous ISSB compliance obligations and FTSE4Good improvement goals.
Gap analysis reports are delivered as structured documents with traffic light and percentage completeness scores, paragraph-cited findings, and sequenced recommendations. Speak to the Sustenyx team to discuss format, turnaround, and how outputs fit your engagement workflow.
