Certificate Lifetime Reduction Readiness Sprint
A tight 2-week engagement to inventory your certificate estate, map renewal risk, and deliver an implementable automation plan (ACME/CLM + integrations) before shorter lifecycles make manual renewal unmanageable.
Ideal for Platform/SRE, Security, IAM/PKI owners operating hybrid estates (LB/WAF/K8s/legacy).
We reply within 1 business day. Need an NDA? Just mention it.
What you get (deliverables)
- Certificate inventory + “unknown cert” discovery plan
- At-risk renewal list (blast radius + owners)
- Automation blueprint: ACME where possible, CLM where required
- Prioritised remediation backlog + 90-day execution plan
- Runbooks + ownership model (audit-friendly)
Who it’s for
- Customer-facing TLS endpoints (web, APIs, gateways, ingress)
- Hybrid + multi-cloud estates with operational complexity
- Teams seeing expiry risk, manual renewal overload, or inconsistent ownership
If you’ve ever had a “who owns this cert?” incident, this sprint pays for itself quickly.
How it works (2 weeks)
Week 1 — Discovery + risk map
- Inventory across LB/WAF/K8s/appliances/legacy
- Renewal workflow mapping (issuance, secrets, key custody)
- Identify manual renewal hotspots and outage paths
Week 2 — Automation plan + execution backlog
- Target-state design: ACME + CLM integrations
- Implementation steps for DNS automation, CI/CD, LBs, ingress
- Runbooks, evidence, and handover to your teams
Optional add-on: we implement the highest-risk automations with your team.
FAQ
Do you replace our existing CLM tool?
No — we work vendor-neutrally. If you already have tooling, we make it work properly. If you don’t, we recommend options and an implementation path.
Can you work with hybrid estates and HSM/key custody requirements?
Yes. We design for key ownership, HSM/KMS integration, and operational governance — without forcing cloud default keys.
What if we only want the plan, not implementation?
That’s fine — the sprint can be “plan + backlog + runbooks” only, or we can implement the top risk items with your team as an add-on.
What should we bring to the triage call?
If you have it: list of domains/endpoints, certificate authorities in use, where certs terminate (LB/WAF/ingress), and any known expiry incidents.
