Sovereign GRC for the Middle East. NCA, SAMA and PDPL frameworks out of the box, in Arabic, self-hosted, with AI that never sends your data out of your environment. ISO 27001, SOC 2 and other global frameworks, too.
Traditional GRC programs demand long procurement cycles, dedicated consulting teams, and tools that make every module feel like a separate purchase. Kevala ships the whole GRC lifecycle as one self-hosted platform you can run the same day you download it.
Traditional GRC rollouts take months of procurement, configuration and consulting before anyone sees results.
Cloud-only solutions store sensitive compliance data outside your control
Spreadsheet-based compliance lacks automation and is hard to keep current
Unlike spreadsheet-based GRC tools, Kevala uses AI-driven automation to map controls, suggest risks, and keep compliance assessments current.
Intelligent engine automatically maps compliance controls to assets based on asset type, CIA ratings, and data classification. Scored suggestions with clear rationale.
A local AI model runs entirely on your own hardware. No external AI provider, no cloud. Your prompts and compliance data never leave your environment. Returns priority-ranked recommendations in moments on commodity CPU.
Risk templates auto-generated per asset type with adjusted likelihood and impact scores. Create risks with one click from curated suggestions tailored to your assets.
Manage compliance across multiple frameworks simultaneously. Smart onboarding wizard recommends the right frameworks based on your region and industry.
Per-framework compliance rates with adjusted formula that excludes unassessed controls. Color-coded status badges and trend visualization.
Keep all compliance data on-premises. Deploy as a VM appliance or on any Linux server. Embedded SQLite database with zero external dependencies.
Track incidents from detection through resolution with SLA monitoring, root cause analysis, and corrective action tracking. Covers operational, security, privacy, and compliance events.
Assess and monitor third-party risk with questionnaire templates, self-service vendor portal, risk tiering, and ongoing monitoring.
Manage policies with version control and acknowledgment tracking. Upload evidence files linked to controls, risks, and vendors.
Most GRC tools just track compliance on paper. Kevala uses AI and rule-based engines to automatically map controls, suggest risks, and analyze posture trends.
Automatically maps controls to assets based on:
AI analyzes your posture over time:
Enriched, context-aware control guidance:
Sample analysis on a PCI-DSS payment-gateway risk from the included demo dataset.
Pre-loaded with the regional frameworks your auditors expect, plus the international standards. Start assessing the day you deploy, with no manual setup.

Don't see your regulator?
Kevala supports fully custom frameworks. Import any control set, whether it's your national regulator, an internal standard, or a client's requirements, and assess, map, and report against it exactly like a built-in framework.
A quick side-by-side on the trade-offs that matter most to security and compliance teams: where your data lives, how the GRC work actually gets done, and how long it takes to get running.
| Capability | Kevala | Cloud-only GRC platforms | Spreadsheets |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where your GRC data lives | 100% on your own infrastructure | Cloud-based SaaS | Local files |
| Air-gap / offline capable | Yes, fully offline deployment | Not supported | Yes |
| Where your AI analysis runs | Entirely inside your network. Prompts and data never leave. | Sent to a third-party AI provider to process | No AI |
| Complete GRC in one product | Governance, risk, compliance, BCM, policy, incident & vendor, one platform | Typically split across modules or separate products | Fragmented across files |
| Time from sign-up to running | Import the appliance, boot, log in, under 10 minutes | Weeks for setup and configuration | Immediate (but limited) |
Most GRC tools ask you to trust their cloud with your risk register, your evidence, and your audit trail. Kevala runs entirely on infrastructure you control, so the question never comes up.
