Industry leadership: a new standard in WebPKI

Sectigo is not just responding to market needs - it is redefining best practices for certificate lifecycle management. With the growing demand for SSL/TLS certificates and the shift to shorter lifecycles, businesses need solutions that eliminate inefficiencies and ensure reliability. Traditional manual management and fragmented automation are no longer viable. Sectigo’s CaaS addresses these issues by integrating automation, scalability, and security into a unified process, removing complexity while improving security posture.

Additionally, Sectigo is pioneering flexible subscription-based pricing that departs from the rigid per-certificate models of the past. This shift enables service providers to better anticipate costs, scale their operations efficiently, and provide more predictable billing for their customers. In doing so, Sectigo is leading the charge toward a more sustainable and accessible approach to digital certificate management.

Empowering our partners to drive growth and differentiation

For managed service providers (MSPs), resellers, and domain registrars, managing certificates has historically been a time-consuming and error-prone process. Sectigo’s CaaS changes the equation by giving our partners the tools to automate certificate provisioning, renewal, and compliance - all through a set of streamlined APIs.

By removing the administrative burden of certificate management, partners can redirect their focus toward value-added services that strengthen customer relationships and enhance business growth. Multi-client reporting and proactive monitoring equip partners with actionable insights, allowing them to anticipate customer needs and prevent issues before they arise. This transformation positions our partners as trusted advisors rather than mere resellers, fostering deeper engagement and long-term customer loyalty.

Addressing challenges

The exponential growth in digital certificates presents a logistical challenge that many organizations struggle to manage effectively. Increased certificate volumes, shorter lifecycles, and evolving security standards require a level of efficiency that traditional management methods cannot support.

Sectigo’s CaaS is designed to handle these demands with a fully automated, scalable framework that ensures continuous compliance and security. Features such as ACME protocol support streamline the issuance and renewal process, reducing the risk of outages and expired certificates. Moreover, its multi-tenant capabilities provide centralized control over thousands of certificates, making it an indispensable solution for enterprises and service providers handling large-scale deployments.

Beyond operational efficiency, Sectigo ensures that its security and validation processes remain aligned with the latest compliance requirements. This removes the burden from businesses, allowing them to maintain trust and security without diverting internal resources to keep up with regulatory changes.

Supporting end users: reliable, seamless security

Sectigo’s CaaS is designed to empower our partners by simplifying certificate lifecycle management for their end users. By eliminating common pain points such as missed renewals and service interruptions, CaaS ensures businesses can maintain uninterrupted security and trust. With automated issuance and renewal, organizations no longer need to worry about downtime caused by expired certificates, allowing them to focus on their core operations.

For industries such as finance, healthcare, and e-commerce - where even minor security lapses can have significant consequences - reliability is critical. Sectigo enables its partners to deliver always-up-to-date certificates, reducing security risks and preserving the integrity of digital transactions. Additionally, with flexible scaling options, businesses can seamlessly adapt their certificate management to evolving demands without unnecessary complexity.

The future of certificate management

Sectigo’s CaaS is more than just a certificate management solution - it is a transformative approach to WebPKI that simplifies operations, enhances security, and drives business growth. By focusing on automation, scalability, and partner enablement, Sectigo is setting a new standard for the industry. As digital security requirements continue to evolve, solutions like CaaS will be essential in ensuring that businesses can meet these demands efficiently and effectively.

The future of SSL/TLS management is no longer about merely keeping up - it’s about leading the way. Sectigo’s approach ensures that our partners and their customers are equipped with the tools they need to thrive in an increasingly complex digital world.
