What You Get on Day One
With SVG, you don’t just get an application filed—you get a fully operational compliance framework from day one. Regulators see evidence, and your business starts on a foundation built for trust and scale.
Pre-configured Compliance Registers
Most firms struggle to set up registers that track compliance on an ongoing basis. SVG provides pre-built templates covering:
- Client Onboarding Registers – capturing KYC/KYB checks, approvals, and red flags.

- Outsourcing Registers – documenting third-party providers, contracts, and oversight controls.
👉 Why it matters: Regulators like SCA and CBUAE require firms to evidence oversight and accountability. Having registers live and maintained is proof that your governance is more than box-ticking.
