During a recent webinar hosted by Verdane, Corlytics’ majority shareholder, I was struck by an analogy that perfectly encapsulates both the topic we were discussing on the webinar, that of ‘challenges of AI in marketing’, and another issue, the overwhelming changes that happen continuously within the regulatory landscape, as regulatory bodies continue to create and update.
The analogy used by one of the moderators to describe navigating AI driven marketing was that it was “like drinking from a hose – so much coming out at once that it’s not possible to drink without spilling water all over yourself.” While we were discussing how marketing leaders can harness AI effectively, the image of an overwhelming, high-pressure stream of information resonated with me in a different context.
It made me think about the regulatory environment and the work we do at Corlytics. In many ways, regulatory professionals experience the same sensation: an endless flood of regulatory updates, enforcements, and expectations pouring out at an unmanageable pace. The challenge is not just in receiving this information but in digesting it, structuring it, and ensuring it reaches the right places in an actionable way.
That is precisely where RegTech, and Corlytics in particular, plays a crucial role. If traditional regulation is like a hosepipe at full blast, then Corlytics is to a regulation, what a hose rose is to a hosepipe. Although it is, of course, so much more than a hosepipe rose. Its taxonomy and auto-routing capabilities go beyond dispersing the flow, they enable organisations to systematically find and predict regulatory changes, identify relevant regulatory updates and announcements, and follow trends and themes. By structuring the overwhelming flow of regulatory information into an intelligent, strategic framework, Corlytics ensures that compliance professionals can act proactively rather than reactively.
End-to-end regulatory lifecycle integration
Corlytics integrates the entire regulatory lifecycle into a single, unified platform, providing complete workflow coverage:
Find: Proactively scanning, tagging, and prioritising regulatory changes in real time.
Understand: Automating obligation extraction, impact assessments, and risk prioritisation.
Implement: Mapping changes to policies, assigning accountability, and managing workflows.
Attest and report : Providing a full audit trail with dynamic traceability for attestation to the regulator.
Bridging compliance gaps with RegTech
The entire regulated financial services industry operates within a web of regulatory requirements, across multiple jurisdictions including those from regulatory bodies such as the SEC, FINRA, FCA and MAS.
Managing these regulatory obligations manually or with legacy systems is similar to drinking from that same high-pressure hose. Without a way to filter, structure, and prioritise compliance efforts, firms are left vulnerable to regulatory risk and inefficiencies as well as fines. Solutions like Corlytics transform this process, making regulatory compliance more proactive, intelligent, and strategic.
The technology hose rose or structuring regulatory data for strategic compliance
Just as AI is changing marketing, RegTech is doing the same for compliance, risk management, and governance. By integrating machine learning, natural language processing, AI, smart data and auto-routing into the Corlytics Regulatory intelligence platform, Corlytics can help organisations:
- Automate regulatory change tracking and reporting.
- Predict (risk sensing) and proactively address emerging regulatory changes.
- Identify relevant updates and announcements across jurisdictions.
- Follow trends and themes to anticipate regulatory shifts.
- Ensure seamless integration with existing compliance and GRC systems.
- Enhance regulatory audit readiness with available attestation.
- Provide real-time insights to proactively manage risks.
Regulatory engagement & future readiness
In an environment where that regulatory hosepipe is in a state of near constant flow, the need for a structured, scalable compliance framework is critical. Regulatory professionals can engage with technology providers that not only help them stay compliant but also anticipate future challenges.
That hosepipe isn’t slowing down, and firms cannot afford to be caught off guard. By ensuring compliance efforts are evenly distributed and strategically applied, RegTech helps businesses to not just keep up with regulatory change but thrive within it.
For firms feeling that hosepipe pressure, or the leaks it’s causing, the question is no longer whether to adopt RegTech, but how quickly they can integrate it to reduce that hosepipe pressure.
