Executive Summary

This report clarifies the business value, pace of innovation and maturity of 20 risk management technologies across four phases of the technology life cycle: Launch, Growth, Maturity and Decline. The technologies profiled include, but are not limited to, AI-powered internal compliance chatbots; AI-driven regulatory intelligence solutions; risk management information systems (RMIS); climate risk solutions; operational resilience software; threat intelligence tools (cyber security); third-party risk management software; governance, risk and compliance (GRC) software; business continuity and disaster recovery solutions; data loss prevention solutions; financial risk management software; and claims management software. Risk management leaders, risk managers and budget-holders responsible for selecting technologies to support risk management processes – both within the enterprise and across the value chain – should use this report to identify technologies to add value, explore options for pilot projects, and inform broader technology and digital strategies for effective risk management programmes. Risk-averse firms should focus on the potential of technologies with proven business value that are in the Growth or Maturity phases of the technology life cycle. Innovators and early adopters should take note of the technologies in the Launch phase.
