Each trade has its own standards. We capture the right ones.
For electronic security, that means SIA's Certified Security Project Manager (CSPM) and Security Industry Cybersecurity Certification (SICC) credentials, plus OSDP-compliant access control experience. For fire/life safety, NICET. For low-voltage, BICSI. For each of the 21 trades on nFACT, the relevant credentials are different. Generic "verified vendor" directories miss these distinctions. nFACT captures trade-specific fields so buyers filter and surface what matters for each category.
Trade-specific certifications
For electronic security: SIA's CSPM and SICC credentials, plus OSDP-compliant access control experience. For fire/life safety: NICET. For structured cabling: BICSI. For electrical and HVAC: state-specific licensing. Each category's credential set, captured directly on the profile.
Insurance minimums that match the work
General liability and workers' comp minimums vary by trade and project size. We collect the insurance data appropriate to each category so buyers can filter by their own thresholds.
Cyber hygiene for connected trades
Security, building automation, and A/V subs install network-connected hardware where cybersecurity is non-negotiable. nFACT Certified providers attest to a cyber security policy and surface relevant credentials such as SIA's SICC and OSDP-compliant deployment experience.
