CertGuardian: the solution for managing SSL/TLS certificates
November 20, 2025 | Jordi Genescà Prat
Why is this change happening?
The main driver comes from companies like Google aiming to reduce the time a compromised certificate can cause damage and accelerate the adoption of new cryptographic standards. Shortening validity between 2026 and 2029 strengthens global security and simplifies technical updates, making manual processes unviable.
The challenge: more certificates, less time and higher risk
Modern digital infrastructure depends on SSL/TLS certificates across servers, clouds, APIs, network devices, microservices, VPNs and IoT. With 47-day cycles:
- Renewals multiply.
- The risk of accidental expiry increases.
- Manual errors become inevitable.
- Incomplete inventories complicate control.
Traditional certificate management can no longer keep up.
CertGuardian: simplicity, control and automation
CertGuardian is a Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM) platform designed to centralise, automate and secure the entire certificate lifecycle.
Centralised inventory and full visibility
It unifies all SSL/TLS certificates in a single dashboard, eliminating spreadsheets and scattered information.
Automatic renewal and secure deployment
The platform renews and deploys certificates across servers, public clouds and network devices, preventing the classic “renewed but not installed” issue.
Real-time monitoring and smart alerts
It detects certificates nearing expiry and reports anomalies, simplifying audits and compliance efforts.
Reduced operational risk
Automation eliminates repetitive tasks and drastically reduces human error.
Prepared for crypto-agility
It enables easy adoption of new algorithms without restructuring infrastructure.
How CertGuardian integrates into your organisation
1. Initial analysis and discovery
A full inventory of certificates, their locations and criticality.
2. Technical configuration and automation
Integration with certificate authorities and automated renewal flows across on-premise, cloud and hybrid environments.
3. Validation and production rollout
Test renewals are executed, and once validated, CertGuardian manages the full lifecycle without manual intervention.
Immediate benefits
- Prevents outages caused by accidental expiry.
- Reduces the operational burden on IT teams.
- Improves visibility and control.
- Strengthens digital security.
- Prepares your organisation for 47-day cycles.
A necessary step for the new certificate era
Shorter certificate validity will affect all organisations. Automation is essential to avoid risks and maintain operational continuity.
CertGuardian centralises, automates and simplifies SSL/TLS management, preparing organisations for the changes ahead.
