At Sahl, we simplify compliance by providing you with a clear, guided journey, from onboarding to full audit readiness. This roadmap outlines what you can expect when using our platform to achieve and maintain compliance with standards like SOC 2, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, GDPR, KSA PDPL, and more.

Phase 1: Onboarding & Initial Setup

  • You sign up and get access to your Sahl dashboard.

  • Our platform walks you through connecting your systems (e.g., cloud providers, HR tools, ticketing systems).

  • You complete a brief organization profile so we can tailor your compliance journey.

Your Outcome:
✔️ Your environment is ready for compliance automation.
✔️ Your integrations begin feeding real-time data to Sahl.

Phase 2: Gap Analysis & Current State Assessment

  • We generate a baseline compliance report highlighting what you already meet and where gaps exist.

  • A compliance score is shown on your dashboard for easy tracking.

Your Outcome:
✔️ You understand where you stand today.
✔️ Gaps are mapped to tasks, no guesswork needed.

Phase 3: Progress Bar

  • Sahl creates a list of Smart Tasks tailored to your selected compliance frameworks and connected systems.

  • These tasks are visualized using a progress bar that updates in real time as tasks are completed.

  • Each task is actionable and may include automated checks, required documentation, or policy uploads.

Your Outcome:
✔️ You make steady progress toward compliance.
✔️ Evidence is collected automatically or uploaded manually.

Phase 4: Evidence Collection & Documentation

  • Documents are stored in your secure vault.

  • You can preview your audit readiness status at any time.

Your Outcome:

✔️ You’re ready for internal or external audits.

Phase 5: Audit Readiness & Certification Support

  • You export or share tailored audit packets.

  • We support you through the certification or attestation process.

Your Outcome:
✔️ You achieve your compliance goal.
✔️ You build trust with clients, partners, and regulators.
