🛡️ Built for South African compliance

Stop losing deals because you can't prove POPIA compliance.

Generate your complete compliance pack — policies, evidence vault, risk register, and IO registration guide — in under an hour, then turn it into verifiable proof with independently verified evidence.

Built for SA companies in Fintech, Legal, Healthcare, and Professional Services

Two scores. One truth.

What you declare. What you can prove. Most organisations can't prove what they claim — that's the gap KomplyZA closes.

Generate it. Then prove it.

Most platforms stop at documentation. KomplyZA verifies what you can actually defend.

⚖️ Legal verification

Independently verified — not self-declared.

Every policy and evidence item is reviewed by a qualified South African legal practitioner. If it's not verified, it doesn't count.

Verification covers the existence and legal adequacy of documentation relative to POPIA requirements.

What brings companies to KomplyZA

Three moments when SA companies need compliance — fast.

Already done your POPIA work?

Your POPIA work already covers up to 40% of ISO 27001 requirements — we map your controls so you don't start from scratch.

SA companies pay R100K–R500K for ISO 27001 consultants. KomplyZA builds a comparable foundation from the POPIA work you've already done.

KomplyZA prepares you for ISO 27001 certification. Actual certification requires an accredited external audit body.

Compliance, you can prove.

Evidence-verified POPIA scoring that helps organisations demonstrate compliance posture to clients, insurers, and auditors.

“AI can generate a policy in seconds. It cannot tell you whether your organisation operates in accordance with it.”

Verified

Every document reviewed by a named SA legal practitioner — not just AI-generated

Tracked

Every piece of evidence tracked with SHA-256 chain of custody from upload to approval

Self-Improving

Every legal partner correction improves the platform for all future clients automatically

KomplyZA doesn't just generate policies — it proves you follow them. Evidence vault, implementation scoring, and legal partner verification prove your controls are operating, not just documented.

Two scores — because declaring isn't proving

Self-Assessed / Declared posture

What you've told us — your own assessment, not independent proof.

Evidence-Verified / Proven posture

Backed by real evidence, verified by independent legal partners.

Uploading a document doesn't move this number — a partner verifying it does. No half-credit. Proven or not.

The gap between them is your roadmap. Close it by getting evidence verified — that's the score you put in front of a regulator, an insurer, or a client.

Only the verified score should be used externally.

Self-Assessed 60%Evidence-Verified 25%Gap: 35 points

Most organisations start with a large gap. Closing it is the work — and the proof.

Most platforms make you audit-ready. KomplyZA makes you proof-ready.

Not just uploaded. Verified.

Most compliance platforms accept documents at face value. KomplyZA only counts what has been independently verified. No verification, no credit.

Compliance is also a security obligation.

POPIA isn't only a legal requirement — it's a security one. KomplyZA verifies both: legal governance (policies, rights, accountability) and operational safeguards (security controls, breach readiness, vendor controls). Because a policy doesn't stop a breach — controls do.
