The Enterprise

Challenges

As the organization's certificate footprint grew, manual lifecycle management became a liability. Certificates were scattered across domains, servers, and cloud services. They were tracked by spreadsheet, enrolled inconsistently, and expired without warning.

Manual management at scale

Spreadsheet tracking blocked enterprise-wide policy enforcement and gave no visibility into who issued keys or certificates, leaving auditing unreliable and the environment exposed to errors.
01 LIFECYCLE

Silent certificate outages

With no automated discovery across domains, servers, devices, and cloud, certificates expired silently, causing SSL/TLS outages that hit security posture, trust, reputation, finances, and compliance.
02 DISCOVERY & OUTAGES

No enrollment controls

No standardized process for requesting and obtaining certificates from CAs eroded trust, disrupted secure communications, and left the environment non-compliant with standards and regulations such as HIPAA.
03 ENROLLMENT
When we assessed the environment, certificates were everywhere and visibility was nowhere. Renewals were tracked in spreadsheets that could not keep up with the scale or the compliance burden, and every cycle carried the risk of another silent outage.

Our Offered

Solutions

CertSecure Manager covered the organization's certificate management challenges end to end: centralized inventory, automated lifecycle management, discovery, enrollment, alerting, and CI/CD integration.

Capability 01

Centralized Inventory & Lifecycle Automation

CertSecure Manager centralized the certificate inventory and automated revocation, monitoring, and renewal, replacing spreadsheets with consistent lifecycle management company-wide.

Capability 02

Automated Certificate Discovery

NESSUS and other discovery tool integrations automated certificate identification across domains, servers, and cloud services, letting the team remove expired or unused certificates, close blind spots, and catch silent expirations.

Capability 03

Streamlined Certificate Enrollment

CertSecure Manager standardized enrollment, cutting management costs, enforcing controls and policies for authorized users, and speeding certificate acquisition — improving both security and day-to-day operations.

Capability 04

Outage Prevention & Intelligent Alerting

Expiration and revocation alerts, centralized expiry tracking, automated renewal reminders, and customizable reports by expiration date, template, and key length gave administrators time to act, stopping certificate outages.
The result is a certificate environment that is visible, automated, and compliant, in a place where manual processes and silent expirations once created constant operational risk.
