Operating posture
Built to pass procurement.
We don’t carry every certification — but we operate inside them. Our delivery teams regularly work within each framework below, with documented controls our clients have audited.
Microsoft SSPA
Approved under the Microsoft Supplier Security and Privacy Assurance framework. Annual self-attestation, incident-reporting protocols and data-handling controls calibrated to Microsoft standards.
E-Verify
ApTask is an E-Verify participant. Every US W-2 placement clears federal employment authorization through DHS/SSA verification at onboarding.

Fair Credit Reporting Act compliant background-check process — written disclosure, consumer authorization, and adverse-action procedures executed per the statute.
Why this matters
Diversity is the operating system, not the marketing line.
ApTask was certified as an MBE before “supplier diversity” became a slide in every keynote deck. We’re not chasing a trend; we’re operating the way we always have. The certification is real. The community we hire from is real. The 40% diversity floor on every executive shortlist we present is real. None of it is performative — and that’s what makes it defensible in front of an audit.
