What is VIGIL Intelligence?
Most conversations about digital HSE maturity are based on assumption. Vendors claim the profession is behind. Consultants say it's moving fast. Leaders aren't sure who to believe.VIGIL Intelligence exists to replace that assumption with hard evidence.HSE professionals from across the profession have completed the VIGIL Checkpoint - a 30-question audit covering the five pillars of digital HSE maturity. Their aggregated, anonymised results became the State of Digital HSE Report: the most detailed, practitioner-sourced picture of where the profession actually stands.

The State of Digital HSE Report 2026
The profession's evidence-based digital maturity report.
Not a vendor survey. Not a consultant's opinion. Data from real HSE professionals, gathered through real actions, analysed and published every year on World Safety Day.
What makes this special?
For the first time, HSE leaders can see where the profession actually stands, not where vendors claim it is, not where consultants estimate it to be, but where practitioners themselves report it is when asked honest, specific questions about their own organisations.The State of Digital HSE Report is that picture. Published annually. Built from Checkpoint data. Independently produced by VIGIL Intelligence.The State of Digital HSE Report is available to individuals at £49. For organisations that want to distribute it internally, or for research institutions and consultancies with more specific data needs, we offer additional options. Contact us.
For HSE leaders
Understand where your organisation sits relative to the profession. Make the case for digital investment with data, not opinion. Know what the top quartile is doing that you are not.
For Consultancies
Advise clients from a position of evidence. Understand sector-specific maturity patterns. Reference credible data in proposals, reports, and presentations.
For Researchers & Vendors
Understand your market from the inside. Build products and services against what the data shows organisations actually need, not what they say they need in surveys.

It takes approximately 10 minutes to complete and generates a personalised report immediately which gets sent to your email inbox, showing your scores, your archetype, what it means, and what to focus on next.Every completed Checkpoint contributes anonymised data to VIGIL Intelligence. The more completions, the more accurate and representative the annual report becomes. Taking the Checkpoint is both a personal development tool and a contribution to the profession's understanding of its digital maturity.So yes, if you haven't already, please take the checkpoint!
