CertAssura · Digital Trust Management

Certificate Lifecycle Management

Discover, manage, automate and protect certificates across your organisation. Gain a complete view of your certificate estate, reduce outage risk and make every lifecycle decision accountable.

Platform configuration, connector coverage and service scope are tailored to each organisation and confirmed through the agreed service schedule.

Certificates become operational risk when nobody has the complete picture.

Unknown certificates, manual renewals, fragmented certificate authorities and inconsistent ownership create avoidable outages and assurance gaps.

Shorter certificate lifetimes increase the need for reliable discovery, policy and automation across every environment.

Continuous visibility

Discover your certificate estate

Bring authorised discovery sources into one certificate inventory, with enough context to understand what each certificate protects and who is accountable for it.

CA-neutral by design

Work across certificate authorities

Preserve choice and commercial flexibility while applying consistent lifecycle governance across public trust, private trust and standards-based automation.

Public certificate authorities

Coordinate commercial and automated public trust certificates while retaining existing enterprise CA relationships.

Private PKI

Bring internally trusted certificates and private issuance workflows into the same governed lifecycle view.

ACME certificate authorities

Use standards-based issuance and renewal paths with controlled account, challenge and deployment workflows.

Certificate authority and connector coverage is configured to the agreed deployment scope. Example ecosystems can include Microsoft private PKI, DigiCert, Sectigo, Let's Encrypt and Google Trust Services.

Policy and accountability

Govern certificates as critical digital assets

Translate certificate standards into clear, enforceable policy and keep ownership visible from initial request through revocation.

Digital trust at enterprise scale

Ready for an evolving trust landscape

Use one governance foundation as certificate lifetimes shorten, machine identities expand and cryptographic requirements change.

Machine identity

Govern certificates as machine identities become more numerous, dynamic and business-critical.

mTLS

Apply lifecycle discipline to mutual-authentication certificates across services and environments.

Code signing

Extend ownership, policy and audit principles to software-signing trust.

S/MIME

Support governed certificate use for trusted email identity and encryption.

Crypto-agility

Maintain the inventory and policy context needed to respond to algorithm, lifetime and post-quantum change.

Certificate assurance, connected to the wider security picture

CertAssura is the certificate lifecycle and digital trust management product in the 3Comp Secure family. It is designed to provide bounded certificate evidence and owned lifecycle actions without replacing the responsibilities of governance, controls, posture or remediation products.

CertAssura uses a connector-led integration architecture. The precise platforms, certificate authorities and automation paths in scope are confirmed for each deployment.
