No demo. No sales call. Real compliance work before the trial's first coffee.¶
Somewhere in the history of enterprise software, "book a demo" stopped being a courtesy and became a gate. The button is the same on every compliance vendor's site, and behind it is the same sequence: a qualification call, a scripted walkthrough of someone else's tenant, a quote that depends on how the call went, and an onboarding plan measured in weeks. For a 50-person company with an audit in four months, that sequence costs more than the licence.
We decided early that Kanonik would not have one. Not because sales calls are bad, but because the buyer we build for, a security or engineering lead at a fintech or healthtech company who already knows what they need, does not want to be sold to. They want to see if the thing works.
What self-serve means here¶
You sign up. The trial asks for a card, and we say so plainly because we would rather lose the sign-up than surprise anyone on day 15.
You connect your AI. One command, pasted into the client you already use, and your model can see Kanonik as a set of tools over the Model Context Protocol. On first sign-in your tenant pulls our signed skill library, so the model knows how to do compliance work rather than just how to answer questions about it.
Then you ask it to do something real. Find the risks that are actually ours. Draft the access control policy against what is deployed. Map our controls to ISO 27001:2022. The model reads your environment through its own connections, proposes the records, and our verifier grades each one before it can land. You get a single-use approval link, you read the proposal and the verdict, and you click. That click is the first entry in a hash-chained record that will still verify when your auditor opens it next year.
The whole loop, sign-up to first verified record, is designed to fit inside the time it takes a coffee to go cold. It usually does.
Why there is no sales team¶
A product that needs a person to explain it is a product that has not finished explaining itself. Removing the sales call forced us to make the setup page, the approval page and the dashboard say what they mean, because there is no one downstream to fix a confusing screen with a phone call.
Support is asynchronous for the same reason. When something is unclear, we fix the surface that was unclear, and every customer after you benefits from it. A live demo hides those problems behind a presenter who knows where the rough edges are.
The trial, in one paragraph¶
Fourteen days. Card required at sign-up, first charge on day 15, cancel before that and nothing is billed. The trial tenant is an ordinary tenant: the same verifier, the same approval gate, the same record, so what you evaluate is what you keep. Solo is $99 a month after the trial. There is no free tier, and no sales call at the end of the trial either; what you evaluate for 14 days is the product you keep.
The most useful security review of a compliance tool is running it against your own environment for a week. That is the week we are asking for.
