Savira is a compliance management platform designed to make Australian privacy compliance easy. This guide walks you through the essential steps to set up your account and start managing your organisation's privacy obligations.

Logging In

Understanding the Dashboard

Once logged in, you'll land on the Dashboard — your central hub for compliance status. It contains three key sections:

Alerts / Notifications

Displays real-time status updates about your compliance items. Green check marks indicate items that are current and active (e.g. "Privacy Policy current" or "Cookie Banner active").

Compliance Progress

A visual progress bar showing which compliance components are complete. Savira tracks five key areas:

Component	What It Does
Privacy Policy	Generate and publish a compliant privacy policy aligned with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs)
Cookie Banner	Display a cookie consent banner on your website to collect and manage visitor consent
Consent Email	Send consent request emails to confirm communication or data processing consent under APP 5 and APP 6
Breach Notification	Prepare and manage data breach notifications under the Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) scheme
Data Request	Handle Data Subject Access Requests for access or correction under APP 12 and APP 13

Upcoming Tasks

Displays any pending compliance tasks or deadlines. When no tasks are due, it shows "No Pending Tasks."
