AI-assisted third-party risk platform for collecting, verifying and tracking certificates of insurance and vendor compliance documents.
By TrustLayer, Inc. · 4.0/5 Value-Position score (estimate)
Positioning guardrails
Best for
- Risk, insurance and compliance teams that must collect and verify COIs and other vendor documents across hundreds or thousands of third parties
- Construction, real estate and facilities owners managing subcontractor and vendor insurance compliance
- Finance teams that need vendor compliance confirmed before releasing payment
- Brokers and carriers running contractual risk transfer and COI workflows for clients
- Organizations scaling from a free starter workflow to enterprise BI reporting and custom integrations
Ideal size: 5–500 users across risk, finance and operations people · Mid-market to enterprise with a dedicated risk, insurance or vendor-compliance owner
Not for
- Companies with only a handful of vendors where spreadsheets or manual tracking still work
- Teams that need a broad enterprise GRC or ERM suite rather than certificate-focused third-party compliance
- Buyers in markets where certificates of insurance and W9s are not a standard contracting requirement
- Organizations that require published, self-serve list pricing before they will evaluate a tool
