Certa Achieves GOLT® STAR Certification For Its AI-Powered Third Party Operating System

SINGAPORE — October 2025 — Certa's Third Party Operating System has been awarded the GOLT® STAR Certification by GOLT.ai (Global Overview Legal Tech), the leading legal AI discovery platform and marketplace, operated by Transforming Legal. The certification recognizes Certa AI's strength across third-party risk management, compliance automation, and AI-driven workflow design.

Founded in 2017 by Jag Lamba, Certa AI is an AI-first, third-party operating system that automates and orchestrates risk and compliance workflows across the entire vendor lifecycle — from onboarding and due diligence to monitoring, remediation, and approval — all within a single unified platform, the Certa Third Party OS ℠

The GOLT® STAR evaluation assessed Certa AI across ten core capability areas that define a modern TPRM/GRC platform:

1. Compliance — Automated tracking and enforcement of regulatory, contractual, and internal-policy requirements across the third-party lifecycle, reducing manual compliance overhead.

2. Onboarding — Structured, repeatable intake processes for bringing new vendors, suppliers, and third parties into the platform with standardized data capture.

3. Insights — AI-generated analysis that surfaces trends, anomalies, and risk indicators across the third-party portfolio to support decision-making.

4. Adjudication — Structured review and decisioning workflows that determine whether a vendor, risk finding, or compliance item is approved, escalated, or rejected.

5. Risks — Identification, scoring, and categorization of inherent and residual risk across third-party relationships, spanning financial, operational, security, and reputational dimensions.

6. Monitoring — Continuous, real-time tracking of third-party risk posture and compliance status after onboarding, rather than point-in-time assessment alone.

7. Integration — Connectivity with enterprise systems (ERP, procurement, contract management, etc.) to synchronize third-party data across the organization.

8. Automation — Rules-based and AI-driven execution of repetitive tasks — document review, data entry, notifications — to reduce manual workload and human error.

9. Analytics — Reporting and dashboarding capabilities that convert third-party and compliance data into actionable, decision-ready metrics.

10. Scalability — Architecture designed to support growing volumes of vendors, entities, and workflows without degradation in performance or oversight.

"We built Certa to be AI-first from day one, not AI-bolted-on" said Jag Lamba, Founder and CEO of Certa. "Having that approach independently tested and certified by GOLT® validates what our customers already experience: faster onboarding, sharper risk visibility, and trusted automation across the entire third-party lifecycle."

The GOLT® STAR assessment is conducted by an international team of legal, compliance, legal operations, and IT experts, benchmarking products against clearly defined quality standards within their category. Certa AI's certification underscores its position as a trusted, AI-first solution for enterprises managing complex third-party risk and compliance obligations across global regulatory environments.
