Certificate Lifecycle Automation
Certificate Lifecycle Automation
Stop certificate fire drills — automate renewal, deployment and compliance
Digital certificates are a critical trust anchor for authentication, encryption and digital signatures. Yet many organizations still track certificates manually, leading to missed renewals, outages, and compliance gaps. Certificate Lifecycle Automation centralizes certificate visibility and automates the full lifecycle—from discovery and issuance to deployment, renewal and revocation—so services stay available, security policies stay enforced, and audits become manageable.
Use Cases
Certificate discovery and unified inventory across environments
Gain centralized visibility across multiple PKIs, stores and certificate types.
Automated issuance, renewal and revocation workflows
Standardize and automate the lifecycle to reduce errors and outage risk.
Automated deployment to users, servers, devices and applications
Deploy certificates reliably across heterogeneous infrastructures.
Compliance monitoring, alerts and audit-ready reporting
Continuously monitor compliance and generate audit-ready evidence and reports.
Use Case Challenges
Lack of centralized visibility
- Certificates spread across multiple PKIs and stores
- No single source of truth for ownership and expiry
Expired certificates cause outages
- Expiry-driven outages and disruption
- Reactive firefighting cycles
Manual processes do not scale
- Growing machine identities and hybrid IT increase volume
- Spreadsheets and tickets create errors and delays
Audit pressure requires traceability
- Need proof of policy compliance and traceability
- Consistent logs and reporting expected
Key supporting points
- Automation prevents expiry-driven outages and reduces operational effort.
Eviden Solution – Enterprise Certificate Lifecycle Automation
Eviden enables organizations to gain real-time visibility and control over their entire certificate estate. A centralized inventory and policy layer standardizes certificate practices, while automation handles request, issuance, deployment, renewal and revocation. Continuous monitoring and notifications prevent expiry-driven outages, and compliance checks support audit readiness. The solution integrates with internal and external PKIs and can act as a unified registration and lifecycle management layer across heterogeneous environments.
Solution Components
- Eviden Certificate Monitor — discovery, monitoring, compliance and RA functions.
- cryptovision Shalott — workflow-based PKI management and lifecycle processes.
- cryptovision CAmelot / IDnomic PKI — PKI/CA foundation (where needed).
- cryptovision Keymaster — secure key handling / roaming / recovery scenarios.
Result: fewer outages, lower operational effort, and audit-ready control of certificates across hybrid IT.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is certificate lifecycle automation (CLM)?
It automates discovery, issuance, deployment, renewal and revocation of certificates across environments.
Why is CLM important?
Manual tracking leads to outages and compliance gaps; certificates are trust anchors for authentication and encryption.
How does automation prevent outages?
Monitoring and automated renewals reduce expiry-driven service disruption and human error.
Can CLM support audits and compliance?
Yes. Policy enforcement, reporting and audit trails provide proof of compliance and traceability.
Does CLM work across multiple PKIs?
Yes. It can integrate internal and external PKIs and unify lifecycle processes.
How does CLM relate to machine identities?
As machine identities grow, automation keeps certificates valid and controlled at scale.
