Taking timely inputs from incident and risk register; analyzing, identifying, monitoring, and controlling the risk; implementing risk impact analysis; and prioritizing the risks to enterprises are some of the major functionalities of risk management software. Enterprises with improper implementation of risk management programs are liable to risks, such as paying large amounts in penalties for not conforming to regulatory requirements and reeling under financial crises due to the mismanagement of financial controls or from natural calamities, such as earthquakes, fire, and flooding.

Small and medium enterprises segment is expected to register a higher growth rate during the forecast period
Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) have comparatively lesser data to process and a fewer rules to comply with; thus, RegTech is less popular among SMEs. Overall, till the late 1990s and the beginning of 2000, SMEs were not compelled to integrate regulation-based technology. They also did not have to redirect resources from everyday tasks to prepare for audits. SMEs were also not obliged to alter their approaches of functioning to comply with government mandates unlike publicly traded companies that have to document processes for regulations and have them confirmed by external auditors.
