Cert Orbis certificate lifecycle automation
AI-POWERED CERTIFICATE LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT

Make certificate expiry a non-event

Cert Orbis automates certificate issuance, renewal, revocation and monitoring from one authoritative control plane - ready for rapidly shortening certificate validity periods.

THE CHANGING CERTIFICATE LANDSCAPE

Shorter validity demands repeatable automation

Public-trust certificate lifetimes are contracting. More renewals must be completed across the same estate, while spreadsheets and ad-hoc scripts create outage risk.

More renewals, same estate

Shorter maximum lifetimes multiply renewal events without increasing the number of certificates.

Manual processes do not scale

Every missed spreadsheet entry or failed script can become a customer-facing outage.

Dynamic validity handling

Issuance workflows must adapt to CA-imposed validity limits at execution time.

BUSINESS RISK

What happens without automation

Customer-facing outages

Browser warnings and hard failures affect users immediately.

SLA and incident cost

Emergency engineering, credits and postmortems consume time and budget.

Partner and B2B breakage

API and mTLS connections fail when certificates lapse.

Trust and compliance exposure

Weak ownership and visibility increase audit findings.

ONE AUTHORITATIVE CONTROL PLANE

Full lifecycle control in one place

AI-powered Cert Orbis replaces fragmented scripts, spreadsheets and tribal knowledge with an observable, auditable system that scales with renewal frequency.

Full lifecycle management

Issue, renew, revoke and monitor certificates through CA API integrations.

Teams, tags and ownership

Assign certificates to teams and add environment and ownership context.

Audit evidence and exports

Record every action and export CSV/XLSX evidence for reviews.

Notifications and integrations

Route expiry-aware alerts through email, webhook and SIEM adapters.

PROACTIVE OPERATIONS

From expiry scan to verified action

  1. 01

    Scan

    Celery tasks continuously inspect certificate expiry windows.

  2. 02

    Schedule

    Renewal jobs use configurable lead-time windows.

  3. 03

    Execute

    CA API calls renew certificates with retry logic on failure.

  4. 04

    Alert

    Email, webhook and SIEM notifications route required action.

PLUGGABLE PROVIDER ARCHITECTURE

Add backends without rebuilding the product

Plugin registry

Decorators register CA, Vault and SIEM providers automatically.

Database-first configuration

Active provider settings live in the database with secure environment fallback.

Supported backends

CA integrations, HashiCorp Vault, QRadar, Splunk and internal targets.

FAST OPERATOR EXPERIENCE

Configure, test and activate

  1. 01

    Configure

    The UI renders fields and validation from each provider schema.

  2. 02

    Test

    Connectivity checks validate credentials and reachability before activation.

  3. 03

    Activate

    Promote a validated provider and monitor its health immediately.

GOVERNANCE AND COMPLIANCE

Roles, immutable audit trails and alerting

Auditor

Read-only inventory access and complete audit export.

Creator

Request and manage certificates within assigned teams and tags.

Manager

Full lifecycle, provider and team administration.

REPEATABLE CONTROL

Turn certificate operations into an engineering discipline

Observable

Every certificate, lifecycle event and integration status is visible, searchable and exportable.

Auditable

Immutable AuditLog, separated roles and structured exports support compliance.

Repeatable

Scheduled jobs, schema-driven onboarding and consistent alerts replace renewal fire drills.
