The Vanta Alternative for Hardware Compliance

Vanta is designed for software security and SOC 2 audits — it manages policies and evidence but does not handle hardware safety standards, generate test plans, or connect teams with accredited testing labs. Hardware Compliance is purpose-built for physical product certification. It reads regulatory standards like FCC, CE, UL, FDA 510(k), and IEC, generates your technical documentation, and matches your product with the right lab — covering the full workflow that hardware certification actually requires.

Hardware Compliance covers a broad range of hardware certification standards including FCC, CE Marking, FDA 510(k), UL Certification, UL 3100, UL 3300, IEC 62368-1, ISO 9001/9100, ISO 26262, FAA, MIL-STD, ASTM, ANSI, and RIA. Coverage spans product categories including consumer electronics, robotics, drones, medical devices, automotive electronics, and aerospace and defense hardware.

Hardware Compliance's AI-agent-driven workflow is designed to complete the compliance preparation phase — regulatory research, documentation drafting, and lab matching — in weeks rather than the months typically required with traditional consulting. The total time to final certification depends on the testing lab's schedule and the specific standards involved, but Hardware Compliance significantly compresses the work that happens before the product ever reaches the lab.

Hardware Compliance replaces the research and documentation phases that compliance consultants typically charge the most for — reading standards, identifying requirements, drafting technical files, and sourcing labs. The platform also includes expert review and sign-off by industry professionals before lab submission, combining AI-driven speed with human accountability. Teams that previously needed to hire expensive consultants for months of prep work can use Hardware Compliance instead.

Hardware Compliance serves hardware teams across robotics startups, electronics and IoT companies, drone manufacturers, medical device companies, automotive electronics startups, and aerospace and defense hardware suppliers. Any team building a physical product that needs to navigate safety standards, technical documentation, and accredited lab testing can use Hardware Compliance to manage the full certification process.
