Setup Guide¶
Getting Started
A step-by-step guide to getting your organization set up on Satark AI.
Prerequisites¶
Before you begin, ensure you have:
- A provisioned Satark AI account with an assigned role
- Admin access to at least one organization
- Credentials for the integrations you plan to connect (e.g. AWS, GitHub)
- Your organization's compliance frameworks identified (SOC 2, ISO 27001, etc.)
Step 1 — Sign in and complete your profile¶
- Sign in using your email or SSO provider
- Complete your profile (name, role, contact details)
- Set up two-factor authentication if your organization requires it (Settings → Security)
Step 2 — Configure your organization¶
- Go to Settings → My Organizations
- Create or select your organization
- Set your compliance profile — which frameworks apply to you
- Choose your industry and sector for contextual recommendations
- Configure your yearly security budget (Settings → Yearly Security Budget) for ROI comparisons on the CISO dashboard
Step 3 — Connect integrations¶
- Navigate to Settings → Integrations
- Choose a vendor (e.g. AWS, GitHub, Snyk)
- Follow the connection wizard — Satark AI will guide you through credential setup
- Verify the integration shows as connected with a recent sync
Start with one integration
Connect your most critical tool first (usually AWS or GitHub). Once findings appear, connect additional tools.
Step 4 — Define your scope¶
- Zones — Create organizational zones to scope audits and products (Settings → Zones)
- Products — Register products in audit scope with URLs and zone assignments (Settings → Products)
Step 5 — Invite your team¶
- Go to Settings → Members
- Invite colleagues and assign roles
- Optionally create custom roles with module-specific permissions (Settings → Roles & Data Groups)
Step 6 — Explore the platform¶
| Action | Where to go |
|---|---|
| View security posture | Command Center |
| Review first findings | Findings |
| Ask the AI assistant | AI Assistant |
| Check compliance status | Regulatory Defensibility |
