Is it time you stopped outsourcing risks or blindspots and take back command?
Turn the Speed of AI into Your Innovation Advantage with Regulatory Ready Software Development
The Technology Leadership Paradox: Drive Agentic AI Without Losing Your Seat to the Regulator
For decades, the Asia-Pacific banking sector has been the vanguard of technological adoption. Today, the "edge" is Agentic AI—the push to embed autonomous models into every product and team.
Yet, CIO and CTOs in the region face a profound irony: you are operating in one of the most heavily scrutinized environments in the world. The question is no longer if you should adopt AI, but how to maintain a "Regulatory Ready" SDLC when your code is learning and adapting in real-time to innovate.
The Challenge: Command and Control at Agentic Speed
Legacy QA, bolted onto the end of a sprint, is obsolete. When AI models evolve logic hourly, a static, reactive testing approach creates dangerous blind spots.
- The Single Source of Truth: How do you maintain one when logic is constantly shifting?
- Third-Party Drift: How do you ensure a vendor's AI component doesn't introduce regulatory drift overnight?
- The APAC Mandate: From the MAS Guidelines on AI Risk Management in Singapore to APRA’s focus on third-party risk in Australia, regulators are demanding demonstrable, routine validation in real time, not "once and done" checks.
The GRC Engine: Turn AI Speed into Trust
Inflectra provides a unified, cloud-native platform that acts as your central Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) engine. By leveraging the Inflectra Suite: SpiraPlan, inflectra.ai, and Rapise, you bridge the gap between innovation speed and compliance certainty with #AWS enterprise grade service levels, safeguards, scale and security for Genai and Cloud.
1. SpiraPlan: The Digital Supervisor
SpiraPlan acts as the backbone of your "Regulatory Ready" SDLC. It provides:
- End-to-End Traceability: Link every business requirement and regulatory mandate directly to test cases, code changes, and live model behaviour.
- Integrated Risk Management: Utilize dynamic risk evaluation with automated triggers to identify 30% more urgent project risks before they impact customers.
- Audit-Ready Documentation: Automatically generate standard regulatory reviews and electronic signatures, cutting audit prep time by up to 50%.
2. Rapise: Agentic QA for Agentic AI
Rapise is an AI-powered test automation tool designed for the complexity of modern enterprise systems:
- Self-Healing Scripts: AI-driven scripts adapt to UI changes automatically, reducing maintenance overhead by 80%.
- Natural Language Automation: Empower functional experts to convert plain language into test code, accelerating script development.
- Vision-Based Testing: Simulate the keen observation of a manual tester to detect visual discrepancies and layout shifts that traditional functional tests miss.
3. Inflectra.ai: Native SDLC Intelligence
Unlike "bolt-on" AI, inflectra.ai is embedded natively within the ecosystem. It allows you to:
- Instantly Generate Artifacts: Create requirements/user stories, test cases, tasks, release analysis and risk models from high-level requirements in seconds at scale to bolster your team.
- Predict Delivery Outcomes: Use machine learning to forecast risks and predict bottlenecks across your entire portfolio to prevent incidents.
Proof in Practice: Modernising the Philippines’ Land Titling
The Land Registration Authority (LARES) in the Philippines used the Inflectra suite to modernize two decades of legacy systems. By moving to a unified, cloud-native assurance model, they modernized their systems 70% faster while maintaining absolute data integrity and security for millions of records [Source].
Conclusion: The Future Belongs to Those Who Govern
Moving fast is meaningless if you can't prove you are in control. Trust is the ultimate currency.
Inflectra empowers you to:
- Shift from Detection to Prevention with proactive risk analytics.
- Establish a Single Source of Truth that satisfies auditors and stakeholders alike.
- Scale Securely across a multi-vendor ecosystem in real time regulatory ready loop.
