A note on third-party certifications: EverTrade operates under EPA and NIST 800-88 guidelines and provides serialized documentation for every device. Customers whose procurement requires a specific third-party certification (R2, e-Stewards, NAID AAA, ISO) should contact us to confirm fit — for many use cases our documentation plus vetted downstream processors satisfies audit requirements, but we'll tell you plainly if it doesn't.
