Frequently asked questions
How is SAI360 priced?
SAI360 does not publish list prices. Pricing is quote-based and depends on edition (Essentials, Professional or Enterprise), number of users, selected modules and implementation scope. Pre-bundled packages are offered at a discount versus buying modules individually, and single modules such as Training or Whistleblower & Case Management can also be licensed. Higher editions add advanced analytics, AI orchestration and custom workflow design.
How long does implementation take?
SAI360 states that implementation time varies with scope, integrations and internal readiness. Essentials can often be deployed within weeks, while larger multi-module Enterprise rollouts take longer. Standard configuration is offered on Essentials, with a dedicated implementation manager, assigned implementation team and custom workflow design on Professional and Enterprise editions. Most large customers run a scoped project supported by SAI360 services and partners.
What AI capabilities are included, and who stays in control?
AI is presented as part of the platform rather than bolted on: AI Chat Assistant in whistleblower and conflicts workflows, AI Search in policy management, AI-powered risk identification in horizon scanning, AI risk analysis for EUDR, AI-powered CSRD reporting and an AI Governance module for overseeing AI risk. SAI360 says recommendations trace back to the customer's own controls, policies and history, and that AI recommends while the customer's team decides.
Which regulations and frameworks does SAI360 support?
The vendor lists frameworks and regulations including COSO, ISO, NIST, SEC, SOX, SOC 2, CSRD, EUDR, EU DORA, the EU AI Act and the EU Whistleblower Directive, alongside industry coverage for banking and financial services, healthcare and managed care, manufacturing, mining/energy/utilities, pharmaceutical and technology. These are frameworks customers manage inside SAI360, not certifications of the platform itself.
How does SAI360 fit into our existing stack?
SAI360 advertises 100+ integrations, including Workday, ADP and BambooHR for employee data; SAP, Oracle, NetSuite and Infor for ERP data; Salesforce and ServiceNow for workflow; Microsoft 365 and SharePoint for documents; Slack for alerts; Splunk, Qualys, Rapid7 and Darktrace for security telemetry; plus regulatory content from LexisNexis, Wolters Kluwer and others.
What support and training comes with a subscription?
All plans include the SAI360 Help Center, knowledge base and Customer Community. Professional and Enterprise customers additionally receive priority support, a dedicated Customer Success Manager and advanced training or certification options for administrators. The Academy includes an on-demand training library, role-based live training, system administrator certification and upgrade training.
