Strategic Intelligence: Regtech

Regulatory technology, or regtech, refers to using advanced technologies to enhance how organizations manage regulatory compliance. First introduced by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in 2015, the term describes technology that enables more efficient, effective, and agile responses to regulatory requirements. Regtech uses tools such as artificial intelligence (AI), data analytics, blockchain, and cloud computing to streamline compliance and reduce associated costs.

Key Highlights

• Industries facing growing regulatory scrutiny, like tech, manufacturing, and healthcare, will increasingly turn to regtech for scalable compliance solutions. New sector-specific platforms will emerge to address unique regulatory frameworks and reporting standards. This cross-industry adoption will significantly broaden the market and drive innovation in modular, adaptable regtech solutions.
• Governments and regulators will move toward publishing machine-readable regulations, enabling direct integration into compliance systems. This will reduce ambiguity in interpretation, improve auditability, and foster greater trust between firms and regulators. Such collaboration will also drive the standardization of application programming interfaces (APIs) and data formats, making compliance more interoperable across systems and borders.
