// The challenge

  • A growing micro-investment platform needed to strengthen identity, authentication and audit controls to satisfy SAMA requirements.
  • Every extra step could mean fewer sign-ups and more abandoned transactions.
  • Compliance staff checked risky activity by hand in exported spreadsheets.

// Our approach

  1. 01

    Gap analysis

    We compared the platform against SAMA controls and ranked the gaps by risk and effort, quick wins first.

  2. 02

    KYC and MFA flows

    Onboarding with verified identity, and multi-factor authorisation based on risk, so extra checks appear only when an action needs them.

  3. 03

    Audit trail

    Tamper-evident logs of logins, profile changes and transactions that the compliance team can search.

  4. 04

    AI-assisted checks

    An assistant flags unusual activity and drafts a summary for a compliance officer. A person makes every decision.
