SLI Compliance

SLI Compliance is a Wheat Ridge, Colorado-based independent testing and certification laboratory serving two distinct markets: Health IT and election technology. The company holds dual federal authorizations as both an ONC Authorized Test Lab (ONC-ATL) and Authorized Certification Body (ONC-ACB), enabling them to conduct conformance testing and certification for health information technology under the US Department of Health and Human Services' Office of the National Coordinator.

The company operates under NVLAP accreditation (Lab Code 200733-0) administered by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). In the election technology space, SLI Compliance serves as an accredited Voting System Test Laboratory (VSTL) in partnership with the United States Election Assistance Commission (EAC), with over 17 years of experience testing voting systems and election processes to federal standards.

SLI Compliance offers a "Mt. Everest Package" and other Health IT preparation services designed to guide organizations through the ONC certification process from pre-testing to final certification. The company maintains active participation in industry conferences including NASED, Election Center, and DEF CON, demonstrating ongoing engagement with both healthcare and election security communities.

Organizations should consider SLI Compliance when federal certification is a non-negotiable requirement for market entry or continued operations. Their dual accreditation status means they can both test products and issue certifications, potentially streamlining timelines and reducing coordination complexity across multiple vendors.

The company's participation in security-focused conferences like DEF CON alongside traditional healthcare and election industry events suggests a commitment to rigorous testing methodologies. Expect a compliance-focused engagement centered on meeting specific federal standards rather than product development or strategic consulting.

SLI Compliance serves the Health IT sector through its federal authorization to test and certify health information technology products under the ONC Health IT Certification Program. The company guides software vendors through the certification process required for participation in federal healthcare initiatives, offering preparation services that address the complexity of meeting ONC standards.

Their healthcare work focuses specifically on conformance testing against federal health IT standards rather than clinical workflow optimization or provider-facing implementation. The company stays current with evolving requirements, as evidenced by their coverage of the HTI-2 Final Rule announced by ONC.

The ideal client is a Health IT software vendor or medical technology company developing products that require ONC certification for participation in federal programs like the Promoting Interoperability initiative, or voting system manufacturers needing EAC certification. Organizations should have products already in development or production that need independent verification against federal standards, and the resources to navigate formal certification processes.
