Compliance You Can Trust. Efficiency You Can See.

In financial institutions, security and compliance aren’t optional — they’re the foundation of trust. From client visits at branches to employees accessing head offices and contractors entering data centres, every movement must be logged, controlled, and audit-ready.

Paper logbooks, manual approvals, and siloed access systems don’t meet regulatory standards anymore. Kenai unifies visitor management, employee attendance, and perimeter access into one secure platform — trusted by leading banks and financial institutions.

Why Financial Services Need Kenai

Banks and insurers face unique challenges:

• Regulatory obligations — FSCA, POPIA, SOC 2, GDPR, ISO.
• Frequent audits — internal, external, and regulator-driven.
• High traffic — clients, employees, vendors, and partners moving in and out daily.
• Sensitive environments — data centres, trading floors, and treasury areas require strict access rules.
• Reputation & risk — fines, data breaches, or poor audit outcomes carry huge costs.

Kenai takes the complexity out of compliance by making every access digital, traceable, and exportable.

Regulatory Alignment

Kenai helps financial institutions comply with:

• POPIA & GDPR — personal data safeguarded with encryption and least-privilege access.
• SOC 2 Type II — annually audited for security.
• ISO & global standards — audit-ready logs for operational risk teams.

Results for Financial Services

• 70% faster check-ins with pre-registration and kiosks.
• 100% visibility of who is in each building.
• Audit prep cut from weeks to minutes.
• Millions saved by automating compliance tasks and reducing manual admin.

Example Use Case

A major South African bank replaced manual visitor sign-in books and siloed access logs with Kenai.

Now, visitors pre-register through Outlook invites, check in with QR codes, and hosts are auto-notified. Employees check in with facial recognition, while compliance teams can export full access logs in seconds.

During an FSCA review, the bank delivered six months of visitor and employee records instantly — avoiding audit penalties and demonstrating full control.
