Built for accuracy and scale

A modern stack engineered for compliance teams: fast, explainable, and always up to date.

Security & Compliance

Audit-ready by design

Rahn Monitor is operated as a South African data processor under POPIA, and architected and run in line with SOC 2 and ISO 27001 control principles. Here's how we protect your data.

Encryption in transit & at rest

TLS for all traffic; database and document storage encrypted at rest.

Full audit trails

Every search, scan and admin action is logged and exportable for examiners.

Role-based access control

Granular permissions, admin separation, and per-account data isolation.

Network isolation

Internal data stores are bound to a private network and never exposed publicly.

Authoritative, fresh data

Sanctions & PEP lists sourced from official publishers and refreshed daily.

Data minimisation & PAIA

We collect only what's needed; a PAIA manual and privacy policy are published.
