EJBCA Enterprise & SaaS Consulting — RA/VA, ACME/EST/CMP/SCEP, HSM/KMS

Vendor‑neutral help to design, deploy, and run Keyfactor EJBCA (Enterprise, Cloud, or SaaS) for large‑scale PKI.

Why SafeCipher for EJBCA

  • Protocol‑first: We implement ACME, EST, CMP, and SCEP for zero‑touch enrollment across apps, devices, and gateways.
  • RA/VA separation: External RA in the DMZ, clustered VA/OCSP, and hardened peer links to the CA.
  • HSM/KMS assurance: PKCS#11 HSMs, AWS CloudHSM, or Azure Key Vault with auditable key ceremonies.
  • SaaS or self‑managed: We’ll help you choose between EJBCA SaaS (with SLAs) or Enterprise software/appliance.

What you’ll get

  • Reference architecture: CA/RA/VA topology, tenant model, and issuance profiles for your estate.
  • Automation plan: ACME for web/Kubernetes, EST/CMP for device onboarding, SCEP for brownfield.
  • Revocation design: CRL/Delta CRL sizing and OCSP clustering with CDN and caching.
  • Rollover playbook: Cross‑signs, staged AIA/OCSP updates, and trust‑store validation.

30‑day outcomes

  • Live EJBCA (Enterprise or SaaS) with RA/VA split and HSM/KMS‑backed CA keys.
  • cert‑manager integrated cluster + one MDM/NDES path issuing at scale.
  • Unified CRL/OCSP reachable; monitoring and tidy schedules in place.

When EJBCA is ideal

  • Mixed estate with device/IoT/MDM enrollment and telecom/OT requirements.
  • Need for multitenancy and audited separation of duties.
  • Preference for open standards and deployment flexibility (SW, Cloud, SaaS).

When to pair

  • App‑only, developer‑led PKI → consider Vault PKI alongside EJBCA.
  • Heavily cloud‑native L7 → complement with AWS Private CA or Google CAS for LB/service‑mesh integrations.

Our engagement model

  1. Discovery & design — assess protocols, tenants, and RA/VA topology.
  2. Pilot — enable ACME/EST/CMP/SCEP, RA in DMZ, VA clustering, cert‑manager + one MDM.
  3. Handover — docs and playbooks for ceremonies, rollover, and audits.
