02 Website design Desktop public website · assessed 15 Oct 2026
Complete assessment.
A restrained monochrome desktop website combines oversized sans-serif headings, generous whitespace and systematic alignment. Pricing uses a finely divided three-column grid with a pink trial accent; docs adapt the same visual language to navigation, terminal examples and outlined resource panels.

Plausible compatibility 0
Derived, not stored: the product passes SSH access, so any CLI coding agent is installable inside it. This is plausible compatibility, not a supported integration.
No general shell access documented, so nothing is derived. Absence is not unsupported.
07 Compliance & regions Standards held, with ordinal rigor; never a score
Certifications held 10
- ISO/IEC 27001certifiedhostedRendered held Compliance list confirms ISO/IEC 27001. The public FAQ still names 2013; do not infer a newer version or current report period without the gated certificate.
- PCI DSSself-attestedhostedPublic FAQ specifies SAQ-D service-provider and SAQ-A merchant AOCs based on PCI DSS v4.0; not evidence of a QSA Level-1 assessment.
- SOC 2 Type IIcertifiedhostedRendered Trust Center also lists SOC 2 and a SOC 2 report; no report contents were downloaded.
- DORAself-attestedhostedRendered held compliance claim; no third-party certification asserted.
- HIPAAself-attestedhostedHIPAA is not a certifiable standard. Enterprise scope/contractual requirements apply; public report listing is not proof every workload is HIPAA-compliant.

09 Sources & method How this entry was produced
Public surface only
Everything here was read from vercel.com's unauthenticated pages, docs, pricing and repository on 15 Oct 2026. Nothing behind a login was used.
Statuses, not scores
Capabilities are pass, partial or fail against a written rubric (features v21). “Not assessed” means the scan predates the key.
Confidence is separate
Each fact carries its own confidence. Low-confidence facts are shown, never hidden, so you can weigh them.
