Certification,
without the binder.

AeroCert is the certification management platform for teams working under DO-178C, DO-254, ARP4754A, and NPR 8705.2C. Trace requirements, manage evidence, and survive your next audit — without the spreadsheet sprawl.

Built by aerospace engineers who’ve shipped under these standards. Not by a generic GRC vendor.

The problem

The tooling stopped at DOORS.

Your requirements live in DOORS Next or Jama. Your design data lives in Teamcenter. Your test evidence lives in network shares, Confluence, and someone’s laptop. Your compliance matrix lives in Excel — until it doesn’t.

When the DER asks for the trace from a Level A software requirement to its derived hardware requirement to the test that verifies it, somebody spends three days finding it.

AeroCert is the connective tissue.

What it does

A platform that knows what a DAL means.

01

Bidirectional traceability that actually traces.

Link system, software, hardware, and verification artifacts across DO-178C, DO-254, and ARP4754A objectives. Every gap surfaces before the audit, not during it.

02

Evidence pipelines, not evidence folders.

Connect your existing test infrastructure, requirements tools, and PLM. AeroCert pulls evidence in, links it to the right objective, and flags what’s missing.

03

Built around the standards.

First-class support for DO-178C objectives by software level, DO-254 design assurance levels, ARP4754A development assurance, and NPR 8705.2C software classifications. Your data model matches the standard.

04

DER and AR workflows.

Stage Of Involvement reviews, finding tracking, and signoff that mirrors how DERs and ARs actually work — because we asked them.

05

Audit-ready, on demand.

Generate a complete cert package — PSAC, SAS, SDP, SVP, traceability matrices — in minutes. Read-only auditor access included.

06

ITAR-aware from the ground up.

US-only data residency. Project-level access controls. Built knowing your data is export-controlled.

Who’s building it

Built by people who’ve been in the room.

AeroCert was started by aerospace structures and systems engineers with 20+ years across commercial aviation, launch vehicles, and human spaceflight — including work on Falcon 9, Human Landing System, and lunar surface infrastructure programs.

We’ve sat through the Stage 4 reviews. We’ve been the ones digging through PDM trying to find the rev that actually shipped. We’re building the tool we wanted.
