A Compliance CSID is a CSID that is used by the EGS to call the compliance APIs and perform compliance checks, specifically the Compliance CSID is added as a request header when calling those APIs. Moreover, the Compliance CSID is generated by the e-invoicing platform itself rather than ZATCA CA since it is used only to ensure the compliance of the EGS with ZATCA specifications.
