One Expired Vendor Certificate Triggers a Regulatory Finding. You Have 500 Vendors to Track.
Banks and insurers face the same crisis: SOC 2 reports from cloud providers, ISO 27001 certificates from core system vendors, and fourth-party risk visibility across your entire portfolio — all demanded by OCC examiners and state insurance departments. Your compliance team is buried in spreadsheets while regulators demand evidence you can't produce fast enough. Manual processes can't keep pace with the volume.

Sound Familiar? You Need to Act Now.
Regulatory Examination in 60 Days
Your OCC examiner or state insurance department just announced a targeted review of your vendor due diligence program. They want current SOC 2 reports from your cloud providers, insurance certificates from payment processors, and risk assessment documentation for all critical vendors. Your data is scattered across ServiceNow, email threads, and three shared drives.
Your Compliance Analyst Just Left
The one person who tracked vendor certificate expirations managed SOC 2 report collection from AWS and Salesforce, and knew which core banking vendors needed enhanced due diligence just resigned. Institutional knowledge walking out the door. You need a system of record, not a single person holding everything together.
Vendor Onboarding Blocked
A critical fintech partnership stalled because you couldn't complete vendor due diligence within 30 days. Your competitor finished in 5 days using automated workflows. You lost the strategic opportunity.
Board Asking About Concentration Risk
The audit committee wants to know your third-party risk exposure. "How many critical functions depend on AWS? What's our NYDFS compliance status? Can we see subcontractor dependencies?" Without current documentation, you don't have answers.
Why Certivo
Not Another Point Solution. A Platform.
Purpose-Built vs. GRC Add-On Modules
Your ServiceNow or Archer instance wasn't built for vendor evidence collection. Certivo achieves 95% combined response rates because we focus exclusively on getting compliance documentation from external parties — not managing internal controls. Integrates with your existing GRC so nothing gets duplicated.

Financial Services & Insurance Vendor Compliance Is Broken
Certificate Chaos Across Systems
Vendor Due Diligence Takes 30+ Days
Before
SOC 2 reports in email attachments, insurance certificates in Archer, ISO 27001 certifications in ServiceNow. Nobody knows what's current. Cloud provider attestations are with IT, payment processor certificates are with treasury, core banking vendor documentation is in three different places.
After
Every vendor certificate in one place, integrated with your existing GRC. Expiry dates tracked automatically. 90-day alerts before anything lapses. Search by vendor, certification type, or expiration date.
Compliance Visibility
See Every Vendor. Every Certificate. Every Subcontractor.
No more digging through Archer, ServiceNow, and email archives. One dashboard shows vendor compliance status across your entire portfolio — with gaps, expiries, and concentration risks flagged before they become examination findings.
- Compliance status by vendor tier: cloud providers, core systems, payment processors, fintechs, insurtech partners
- 90-day advance expiry alerts with automated renewal outreach
- Concentration risk analysis showing critical function dependencies
- Fourth-party mapping from vendor to subcontractor to certificate
- Risk scoring highlights vendors with lapsing or missing certifications
Automated Document Validation
Never Manually Review a SOC 2 Report Again
CORA reads vendor SOC 2 reports like your best analyst — extracting scope, Trust Services Criteria coverage, subcontractor disclosures, and exceptions. Coverage gaps flagged automatically against your actual service consumption. Your team handles exceptions, not document review.
- CORA extracts SOC 2 scope and validates against services you actually use
- Automatic SIG questionnaire mapping to your risk framework
- Flags qualified opinions, scope gaps, or subcontractor risks automatically
- Certification body verification against IAF accredited registrar list
- Consistent data collection across every vendor, every cycle

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Certivo achieve 95% vendor response rates?
Three mechanisms work together: First, our Global Vendor Marketplace contains pre-verified SOC 2 reports, ISO 27001 certificates, and SIG questionnaire responses for 50,000+ vendors — often 40%+ of your portfolio requires no outreach at all. Second, CORA uses multi-channel campaigns with smart follow-up sequencing for vendors not already in the network. Third, vendors respond faster to standardized requests from a neutral platform than to individual customer emails. The 95% figure reflects the combined rate across both marketplace matches and outreach.
How does Certivo differ from our existing ServiceNow/Archer GRC?
GRC platforms are built for managing internal controls and risk registers — not for collecting evidence from external parties. Certivo integrates with your GRC via API so vendor compliance data flows into your existing workflows, but we handle the part your GRC wasn't designed for: actually getting current documentation from vendors at scale, and validating what they send.
Can Certivo generate evidence packages for OCC and state insurance examinations?
Yes. Certivo generates examination evidence packages organized by regulator type — OCC, FDIC, Federal Reserve, NYDFS Part 500, or state DOI examinations. Packages include SOC 2 reports with scope mapping, SIG questionnaire responses, insurance certificates, and risk tiering rationale. Export in PDF bundles or formats compatible with regulator portal uploads.
What about insurance-specific requirements?
Certivo supports NAIC Model Law requirements and state insurance department examination expectations across all 50 states. We include insurance-specific vendor categories — policy administration, claims systems, actuarial platforms — and risk tiering aligned with state DOI examination expectations. For GLBA-covered institutions, we track Safeguards Rule provisions and ongoing monitoring evidence.
