Short answer
CertShield is vendor insurance compliance software for US property managers and contractors. Its AI reads certificates of insurance (ACORD forms), verifies coverage limits, additional-insured endorsements, and expiration dates against each company's requirements, then automatically chases vendors and their insurance agents for renewals by email (English and Spanish). Every verdict is human-reviewed before publishing, with audit-ready document trails. CertShield replaces spreadsheet-based COI tracking at SMB pricing, from $99/month. Founded in 2026.

Why it exists
Vendor insurance compliance is a solved problem at the top of the market and an unsolved one everywhere else. Large owners and national contractors run dedicated compliance platforms with implementation projects and annual contracts. A 400-unit property manager has the same legal exposure, the same vendors, and a spreadsheet — because the enterprise tools were never priced or shaped for them.
That gap is the entire reason for this product. The reading a compliance analyst does by hand is exactly the kind of work a vision model does well and cheaply, which makes it possible to offer the same protection at a price a small firm can absorb — without an implementation period, a sales process, or a year-long commitment.

What CertShield refuses to claim
This section is here on purpose. In a category where overselling is routine, the fastest way to be worth trusting is to publish the limits before anyone asks.
- Guaranteed compliance
- No document review can guarantee an outcome. You remain the final approver on every verdict, and the audit trail records what was flagged and when.
- Automatic detection of mid-term cancellations
- Carriers do not broadcast mid-term cancellations to certificate holders, so no tool can promise to catch a silent one. We mitigate with producer confirmations, notice-of-cancellation endorsements in your requirements, and re-verification on every new document.
- Always accurate extraction
- Every field carries a confidence score. Anything below 90%, and every failing check, routes to human review against the original PDF.
- Legal or insurance advice
- CertShield provides document review assistance. Requirements and coverage decisions belong with your broker and counsel.

- Who is CertShield built for?
