Certivo Raises $4M Seed Round Led by Suffolk Technologies to Launch the AI-Native Compliance Automation Category

Posted by 9 hours ago (https://finance.yahoo.com/news/certivo-raises-4m-seed-round-140000481.html)

Description: Organizations now consider regulatory compliance as a core business function which creates operational risks that affect their ability to enter markets and speed up product development and assess their company worth. The increasing global demand for supply chain transparency and sustainability and PFAS and digital product traceability regulations has created a situation where traditional manual compliance systems no longer function effectively. The AI-native compliance automation category receives its first demonstration through Certivo's $4 million seed funding round. The AI-native systems work through continuous operation to track regulatory updates and check supplier information and connect compliance requirements with current product inventory. The strategic shift provides CEOs and CFOs and regulatory leaders with new advantages. Businesses can achieve continuous compliance which benefits them by decreasing their audit risk and enabling faster product development and better supplier management and maintaining their market reputation in industries with more rigorous regulations. The AI-based compliance system enables investors and board members to monitor regulatory compliance risks throughout their multiple supply chain levels. Businesses need to shift from compliance reporting which occurs after violations to continuous compliance systems which operate with temporary reporting requirements and sustainable business development.

Posted by 7 days ago (https://www.certivo.com/blog-details/buy-american-vs-global-supply-chains-where-compliance-breaks-down)

Description: The increasing requirements of Buy American standards create hidden compliance risks for enterprise manufacturers because they clash with actual operations of global supply chains.

Why Compliance Automation Is the First Step in Digital Transformation (Not ERP or PLM)

Posted by 8 days ago (https://www.certivo.com/blog-details/why-compliance-automation-is-the-first-step-in-digital-transformation-(not-erp-or-plm))

Description: Manufacturing companies begin their digital transformation projects by updating their ERP and PLM systems. The systems deliver operational efficiency improvements, but they do not solve the primary business problem of determining which products can enter global markets and remain there. Digital investments without compliance automation will create more non-compliant decisions which will hinder business growth. The regulatory framework now requires organizations to manage more complex rules that apply across different jurisdictions and multiple supply chain levels and various chemical substances. The combination of manual compliance work and disorganized supplier information and last-minute audit readiness activities generates concealed dangers and prolongs the time it takes to enter new markets. The development of ERP and PLM systems did not include functions for controlling substance compliance requirements and handling regulatory changes and maintaining visibility across all supplier levels. The process of compliance automation creates an intelligence layer, which serves as the fundamental requirement for digital transformation. Organizations achieve audit readiness and quicker product releases and more reliable market expansion decisions through the implementation of automated supplier data collection and real-time regulatory compliance monitoring and BOM-level compliance analysis. Organizations now use this method to transform compliance into a fundamental business function, which creates both revenue streams and business resilience. Certivo supports this shift through AI-driven compliance automation that integrates with existing enterprise systems while providing regulatory intelligence they cannot deliver on their own.

Electronics Supply Chains in 2026: Automating Multi-Tier Compliance Across Global Suppliers

Posted by 8 days ago (https://www.certivo.com/blog-details/electronics-supply-chains-in-2026-automating-multi-tier-compliance-across-global-suppliers)

Description: The 2026 electronics supply chain compliance requirements now determine three key business outcomes which include market access and investor confidence and enterprise risk management. The worldwide electronics industry must now demonstrate full compliance with REACH RoHS conflict minerals PFAS reporting and Extended Producer Responsibility regulations because these requirements have expanded across all global jurisdictional boundaries. The electronics supply chain operational requirements exceed manual compliance processes because modern supply chains contain thousands of components which combine with ongoing regulatory changes and separate supplier databases to create perpetual audit and customs and product recall and customer disqualification risks. For enterprise leaders, compliance is no longer an operational afterthought—it is a board-level risk that directly impacts revenue continuity and strategic growth. The electronics industry enables manufacturers to achieve ongoing audit-ready compliance through AI-based compliance automation which replaces their approach of creating documents in response to compliance requirements. Organizations achieve the necessary control and visibility operational needs to expand their business operations in international markets through their processes which automate supplier data collection and BOM-level compliance tracking and real-time regulatory change monitoring. Certivo helps businesses create supply chains which meet market demands and comply with regulations through its AI-based compliance intelligence system and automation technology.

EU Cyber Resilience Act Compliance: What Manufacturers Must Do Now

Posted by 12 days ago (https://www.certivo.com/blog-details/eu-cyber-resilience-act-(cra)-what-manufacturers-must-do-before-enforcement-begins)

Description: The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) requires manufacturers to establish cybersecurity compliance procedures which govern their protection of digital product security. The CRA establishes mandatory security requirements which manufacturers must follow throughout their product development process because it controls their security practices and Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) requirements and vulnerability disclosure procedures and supplier accountability and post-market monitoring duties. The CRA compliance requirements for enterprise manufacturers have become a board-level business risk which directly affects their ability to access EU markets and maintain product availability and manage supplier partnerships and safeguard their revenue streams. Organizations that depend on manual methods and spreadsheets and uncoordinated supplier documents will find it difficult to comply with strict incident reporting deadlines and conformity assessments and ongoing vulnerability requirements. Manufacturers are directing their investments toward AI-based compliance automation systems which deliver real-time insights for their entire product range and software supply chains and compliance needs. Companies enable EU market entry by centralizing documentation and automating supplier data collection and maintaining audit-ready evidence through scalable processes which decrease their regulatory risks.

PFAS Compliance in 2026: Why Global Manufacturers Need AI-Driven Supply Chain Visibility

Posted by 13 days ago (https://www.certivo.com/blog-details/pfas-compliance-in-2026-why-out-of-scope-no-longer-exists-for-global-manufacturers)

Description: The requirements for PFAS compliance in 2026 now extend beyond chemical manufacturers to include all product categories. Manufacturing companies face new operational challenges because the "out of scope" designation no longer exists after the EPA TSCA Section 8(a)(7) PFAS reporting and state-level PFAS restrictions and worldwide PFAS regulations through REACH. Three executive positions in a company together with compliance officers now consider PFAS to be a substantial business hazard which affects their access to markets and their customer agreements and their risk of lawsuits and their overall company value. The existing manual compliance processes that use supplier questionnaires together with spreadsheets and PDFs cannot handle the required material-level PFAS tracking which needs to operate throughout international supply networks. The PFAS compliance process at manufacturers requires AI-powered compliance automation together with real-time regulatory intelligence and verified supplier data at the BOM level. Manufacturers must establish audit-ready PFAS data systems which enable them to report across multiple jurisdictions and undergo customer audits and enforcement investigations. This blog explains why PFAS has become a board-level issue, how regulations are reshaping compliance obligations, and why leading manufacturers are investing in AI-driven PFAS compliance platforms to future-proof their operations.

Posted by 16 days ago (https://www.certivo.com/blog-details/massachusetts-pfas-compliance-2026-critical-deadlines-reporting-requirements-and-what-companies-must-do-now)

Description: The regulatory assessment for Massachusetts PFAS compliance in 2026 stands as the most difficult regulatory task which manufacturers and consumer product companies and all businesses operating in the state face. The MassDEP enforcement framework requires organizations to follow two separate tracks which include Toxics Use Reduction Act (TURA) requirements and statewide consumer product PFAS regulations while they must meet multiple reporting requirements and develop required plans and validate their suppliers and reformulate their products. The Massachusetts PFAS compliance requirement has evolved from environmental issue which CFOs and CEOs and compliance officers treated as tactical solution into business risk that directly affects product development and market entry and supply chain operations and executive responsibility. The compliance requirements for businesses which use manual tracking methods and fragmented supplier information systems have increased because of three changes: removal of de minimis exemptions and expansion of PFAS substance lists and implementation of TURA reporting deadlines which begin on July 1 2026. The guide presents all 2026 Massachusetts PFAS compliance changes and compliance requirements and AI-driven compliance automation benefits which help organizations handle their PFAS reporting and supplier declarations and audit readiness needs. Certivo provides enterprises with a solution that transforms PFAS compliance from regulatory burden into operational advantage because it offers automated tracking and centralized documentation and ongoing regulatory intelligence which organizations need to sustain compliance with changing state and federal PFAS rules.
