Kinatico has launched Kinatico Compliance – Australia’s first software-as-a-service (SaaS) compliance platform – marking a significant step forward for businesses struggling under a regulatory burden that now costs the national economy an estimated $160 billion a year.

As regulatory complexity intensifies, research conducted by Kinatico showed boards are increasingly demanding compliance intelligence aligned with evolving legislation and legal requirements.

Importantly, compliance obligations are largely consistent regardless of business size. However, unlike large

enterprises, small and medium businesses often do not have the dedicated compliance teams, technical infrastructure, time or secure digital ecosystem required to build robust systems internally.

Recent findings from the Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD) also uncovered federal regulation now costs Australian businesses almost 6 per cent of GDP, excluding state and local requirements, suggesting the true burden is even higher.

Michael Ivanchenko, CEO of Kinatico, said “Compliance shouldn’t be a privilege of scale – our platform was designed to level the playing field and be industry agnostic,” he said.

“Boards want compliance intelligence. Workers want simple, mobile tools they can use on-the-go. And leaders want visibility before issues become incidents given compliance is complex and workforces are mobile.”

Eliminating tool sprawl and productivity loss

When developing the platform, Kinatico found remote and hybrid workers prefer mobile-first systems, with document uploads cited as their primary compliance pain point.

At the same time, many organisations reported managing compliance across two to four or more separate platforms – with some still relying on spreadsheets – creating fragmented oversight, constant firefighting of expired credentials and significant hidden productivity loss.

Kinatico Compliance addresses this by replacing spreadsheets, email chains and disconnected tools with a single, synchronised dashboard that delivers secure, auditable proof of compliance in real time.

“Designed to be people-first, the platform is intuitive for frontline workers while providing enterprise-grade visibility and governance for leadership,” said Ivanchenko.

Key features include:

• Real-time workforce verification and credential integrity validation
• Secure, organisation-wide audit trails
• Embedded AI-powered automation and intelligent reporting
• Scalability from SMEs to large enterprise
• Reduced cost per compliance ticket and faster response times

AI has been embedded into the platform from the ground up, not bolted on as an afterthought. With 18 months of AI already in live production, Kinatico’s people-led intelligence layer automates routine workflows, and supports proactive compliance monitoring.

The result is measurable operational impact, on Level 1 support, response times and a reduction in cost per ticket – delivering efficiency without removing human oversight.

Owning the full compliance lifecycle

Built on 17 years of verification expertise, Kinatico Compliance represents the company’s evolution from CVCheck into a full-stack SaaS compliance platform.

Unlike others in the category, Kinatico Compliance now manages compliance across the full lifecycle – not just one element such as background checks, training or policy.

Many existing tools offer only a single piece of the puzzle or treat compliance as an add-on within a broader HR system, resulting in fragmented and often retrospective oversight.

The new platform brings these elements together in one integrated, real-time platform, giving organisations a complete and current view of compliance risk.

“We started with 17 years of hard-won knowledge about workforce trust,” Michael said. “Kinatico Compliance systemises that experience and makes it accessible to every Australian business that needs it, no matter the size.”
