Frequently asked questions
Which regulations and programmes does Assent cover?
Assent lists product material compliance (TSCA, RoHS, Proposition 65, REACH, PFAS, SCIP), product sustainability (PPWR, CBAM, EPR packaging, product carbon footprint, EUBR, EUDR, CSRD) and responsible sourcing (conflict minerals, extended minerals, metal sourcing, forced labour, ESG reporting). The vendor presents these as one unified network rather than separate point tools.
How is Assent priced?
Assent does not publish pricing. The site routes buyers to 'Talk to an Expert', 'Get Your Quote' and 'Book a Demo' forms, so contracts are scoped individually, most likely by product catalogue size, supplier count, modules and service level. Budget for an enterprise subscription plus expert services.
How does Assent use AI?
The homepage says Assent's AI extracts, standardises and centralises supply chain data and identifies gaps, with outputs described as transparent, traceable and backed by evidence trails. Human-in-the-loop validation and approval checkpoints sit alongside the AI workflows. The privacy policy states AI/ML supports data collection, enrichment, validation, risk detection and personalisation, and that no automated decision-making is used for significant decisions about individuals.
Is Assent secure and certified?
Assent's security page states SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certification and points to a trust centre. The platform and customer data are hosted on AWS in Northern Virginia and Frankfurt, with disaster-recovery sites in Oregon and Ireland, encryption in transit (HTTPS, SFTP, TLS) and at rest (AES), annual third-party penetration tests, separated environments and 24/7 system monitoring.
Can Assent make my compliance data defensible to customers and regulators?
Assent positions audit-ready, supplier-sourced data as its core value: connected product, part and supplier data with evidence trails, plus expert teams who help monitor requirements and engage suppliers. Customer quotes on the site describe responding to customer declaration requests instantly and staying ahead of changing rules.
