What Accerta does

Accerta is a Canadian-owned and operated GovTech firm headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, founded in 1959 (legal entity AccertaClaim ServiCorp Inc.), that delivers cloud-based program administration, contact centre, and cybersecurity advisory services exclusively to the public sector. Its core platform, AccertaWorX, is a secure web portal that gives plan sponsors, providers, and benefit recipients access to claims history, eligibility, EOBs, and transactions; this sits alongside omnichannel contact centre operations (live-agent telephone, digital engagement, self-serve) handling 400K+ calls annually, and a newly launched Municipal Cyber Assurance Framework offering tiered fractional vCISO services to Canadian municipalities. Across the portfolio, Accerta administers 55+ government programs reaching 1.2M+ people each year and channeling approximately $800M annually to program access — notably Ontario social health, dental, and seniors dental care programs.

The business model is enterprise B2G services delivered via long-term, multi-year government contracts. Accerta generates managed-services fees for program administration, claims processing, and contact centre delivery; professional-services fees for cybersecurity advisory (fractional vCISO, ransomware readiness, cyber governance); and supporting revenue from digital solution deployment. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting federal, provincial, and municipal agencies, supported by RFP-led procurement, an in-house blog, and thought-leadership partnerships (e.g., the 2025 healthcare cybersecurity report co-authored with the Canadian Cybersecurity Network and Darktrace).

The company is privately held with 11-50 employees, B Corp certified (since 2017, recertified 2025), SOC 2 Type II audited, Great Place to Work certified (2024 Best Workplace in Government & Social Services; 2025-2027 certification), PAIR accredited by the Canadian Council for Indigenous Business, and a Living Wage Employer. All operations and data remain onshore in Canada with no offshoring — a positioning the firm actively markets to government buyers concerned about data sovereignty and CPCSC-era compliance.
