About CertShield
CertShield is a vendor insurance compliance platform built specifically for US property managers and small general contractors. The tool automates the verification of certificates of insurance (COIs) by using AI to analyze PDF documents, checking critical details such as coverage limits, additional-insured endorsements, expiration dates, and required forms like CG 20 10, CG 20 37, waiver of subrogation, and primary & non-contributory endorsements. It flags expired or insufficient coverage and sends automated renewal reminders to vendors and their insurance agents in either English or Spanish. Each verification undergoes a human review before results are published, ensuring accuracy and audit readiness. CertShield eliminates the need for manual spreadsheet-based tracking, reducing liability risks associated with uninsured vendors. The platform provides a centralized dashboard for compliance monitoring and secure document storage, streamlining the entire process of managing vendor insurance compliance.
