Readiness path

Nine steps with progress, tooltips and a strong nudge to the right next move.

Help agent

A tooltip-launched assistant that answers process questions in the step you're standing in.

AI provenance

Every suggestion labelled with source, timestamp and the person who accepted it.

Roles & MFA

Owner, contributor, viewer and auditor roles, with MFA required before upload or export.

The rheAI agent

Suggestions at every step, not a blank page.

Most readiness tools give you a checklist. rheAI gives you a working partner that proposes the next risk, rewords a control, explains what the auditor is looking for, and warns you before a gap becomes a blocker.

  • Step-specific suggestions based on what you already described
  • Plain-language explanations of auditor expectations
  • Gap warnings before you mark a control or evidence item complete
  • Every proposal labelled AI-suggested until a human accepts it

Step-aware guidance

Step 3 · Risks

You mentioned payroll access. Teams like yours usually map 'unauthorised payroll changes' and 'access not revoked after offboarding'.

Step 5 · Controls

This control needs a named owner before it can be marked as in place. Suggest assigning the Head of Operations.

Step 7 · Evidence

Add a quarterly access review screenshot here. The auditor will look for reviewer name, date and scope.

rheAI agent guidance

Welcome. I’ll start by asking what your buyer requested and what service they rely on.
Based on your answer, I’ll propose the first in-scope service and a few follow-up questions.

Start with the enterprise request and how your business actually works, not with a framework.

The problem

The gap is not the report. It is the road to the report.

Enterprise buyers increasingly ask for assurance. Small software teams lose the deal because their processes, controls and evidence are not ready for an auditor to do anything useful with.

Normal readiness implementation

~€25k

Consultant-led project, before independent audit fees.

rheAI founding pilot

€499

For the practical package. The shortest route to materials the auditor can review.

rheAI does not give an assurance opinion and does not replace your auditor. It prepares the organisation for independent assurance.

Framework, not checkbox theatre

GRC tooling is useless without a framework that fits your business model and strategy.

Off-the-shelf control libraries force you to adopt language that does not match how you operate. rheAI starts from your services, customer journey, systems and vendors, then builds a control framework that is actually owned by your business.

Business model first

The controls reflect how you make money, who your customers are, and what they rely on — not a generic SaaS template.

Strategy-aligned scope

We scope the boundary around what matters to your buyer and your growth plan, so effort goes where the audit risk is.

Your language, your owners

Every process, risk and control is written in terms your team recognises, with named owners your auditor can interview.

rheAI helps you set up exactly that: a framework shaped around your business, not a compliance layer bolted on top of it.

Inside the workspace

You can see readiness, not guess at it.

The same views your team works in: the nine-step path, control coverage per process, residual risk position and the evidence a person actually accepted.

Pilot stories

Teams using rheAI are getting to an auditor-ready package faster.

We went from the buyer's security questionnaire to a draft control package in three weeks. It would have taken us three months to produce the same thing internally.

CTO

HR SaaS, 18 people

For the first time I could point at a risk matrix and say 'here is exactly how we cover it'. The process descriptions actually made sense to our auditor.

Head of Operations

Vertical SaaS, 12 people

We had a €25k consultant quote on the table. rheAI gave us an auditor-ready package for a fraction of that, and we owned every word in it.

CTO

B2B SaaS, 9 people

The evidence vault alone saved us two weeks of chasing screenshots and policies. Everything is hashed, named and linked back to a control.

Security Lead

Narrow use case

A small B2B software provider blocked by enterprise due diligence.

A 14-person restaurant HR SaaS handles onboarding, scheduling and payroll support. A listed customer asks for a SOC/ISAE report before signing.

rheAI interviews the team, maps the service flow, identifies risks and controls, and exports a Type I readiness package — process descriptions, RCM, evidence list and report shell.

Business-first control design

  2. 2ProcessHow is it delivered?
  3. 3RiskWhat can go wrong?
  4. 4ControlWhat prevents it?
  5. 5EvidenceCan it be tested?

The control boundary emerges from your customer journey, systems, vendors and owners — not from a generic checklist.

Deliverables

What lands in your hands.

Control boundary

Services, processes, systems, data flows, vendors and owners — mapped from your real customer journey.

Process descriptions

Narratives an auditor can actually read, written from one end-to-end interview per in-scope process.

Risk & control matrix

Risks per process with control name, owner, frequency, control type and status.

Evidence-ready controls

Expected document per control, templates where nothing exists, and an implementation tracker.

Draft Type I package

Report shell, RCM, process descriptions and evidence list, bundled as an auditor handover pack.

Validation trail

Every AI proposal carries source, timestamp, status and the person who accepted it.

What we need from you

The pilot checklist — six things, nothing heavier.

01

One person who knows how the work happens

Usually a founder, CTO or ops lead. They answer the discovery interview — no compliance background needed.

02

The request from your customer

The questionnaire, contract clause or email asking for a report. It sets the scope of the package.

03

A list of the systems you rely on

Cloud, code, identity, ticketing, payroll, support. Names are enough; we map the rest with you.

04

Named owners per process

Controls need someone accountable. Two or three names is normal for a small team.

05

Access to existing evidence

Whatever already exists — policies, screenshots, exports. We tell you what is missing rather than assuming.

06

About two hours in week one

That is the interview. Everything after that is review and evidence upload in short sessions.

Control & transparency

Enterprise deals are won on control and transparency.

A buyer isn't looking for a claim that you are safe. They want to see who owns what, how it works, and the proof behind it. rheAI is built so every answer you give can be traced back to something real.

One owner per control

Every control names the person accountable, so nothing sits in a grey zone during review.

Full traceability

Service, process, risk, control and evidence stay linked end to end — a buyer can follow any claim to its source.

Show, don't assert

Each control points at the artefact that proves it, instead of a paragraph saying it happens.

Provenance on everything

Every line is labelled as drafted from your documents, suggested by rheAI or written by your team.

Auditor-ready sharing

Read-only package links are scoped to a version, expire, log every view and can be revoked.

A defensible answer

When the buyer asks how you know, you have the boundary, the matrix and the evidence in one place.

And because you describe confidential systems, customer flows and evidence in here, the platform itself is held to the same standard:

Data location & hosting

EU-hosted infrastructure with encryption in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest. No customer evidence leaves the region for processing.

Access control

Role-based membership (owner, admin, contributor, reviewer) enforced by row-level security in the database, plus mandatory MFA before upload or export.

Evidence integrity

Every file is SHA-256 hashed and versioned on upload, so you can prove to an auditor that the artefact reviewed is the artefact collected.

AI handling

Model calls run server-side only, with unnecessary personal data stripped first. Your content is not used to train models, and every draft is labelled AI-suggested until a person accepts it.

Auditor sharing

Read-only links are scoped to a package version, expire, log every view, and can be revoked instantly.

Accountability

Append-only audit log of who changed, accepted or exported what, and hard deletion of your workspace on request.

Questions

The things every team asks first.

Is rheAI an audit?

No. rheAI prepares management-owned readiness material — your control boundary, process descriptions, risks, controls, evidence and a draft Type I package. An independent auditor decides the procedures they run and any opinion. rheAI never certifies anything.

How long does a pilot take?

Most teams get through discovery in an afternoon and reach a reviewable package in two to four weeks, depending on how quickly evidence can be gathered from the systems you already use.

Do we need a compliance person?

No. The workspace is built for founders, engineers and operators. Every step asks plain questions about how the work actually happens, and the guide inside the portal explains what an auditor is looking for.

What does the AI actually do?

It drafts. It proposes processes, risks and control wording from your interview answers, and every draft is labelled as AI-suggested until a person in your team accepts it. Nothing enters your package without a human decision.

Where does our evidence live?

In private storage that is only reachable from your workspace. Files are hashed on upload so you can show an auditor that what they review is what you collected.

Can our auditor look inside?

Yes. You create a read-only link scoped to the package, every view is logged, and you can revoke it whenever you like.

How does evidence collection work in practice?

Each control names the exact document or screenshot an auditor expects, who owns it, and the period it must cover. You upload it once into the evidence vault; rheAI hashes it, versions it, checks it against the control's attributes and flags anything missing or contradictory before your auditor sees it.

What timeline should we plan for?

Discovery takes an afternoon. Scope, processes, risks and controls usually land inside week two. Most pilots reach a reviewable Type I package in two to four weeks; the pace depends on how fast control owners return evidence, not on us.

Does this make us audit-report ready?

It makes you Type I readiness ready: a defined control boundary, process descriptions, a risk and control matrix, evidence per control and a design-effectiveness test plan, packaged for handover. The opinion itself is issued by a licensed audit firm — rheAI prepares everything they ask for and shortens their fieldwork.

Do you replace our auditor?

No, and we would not want to. Independence matters. We prepare the readiness package and the evidence trail so your audit firm can start on the assessment instead of chasing basics.

What happens to our data if we stop?

You export your package and we hard-delete the workspace on request, including evidence files and AI proposal history.
