Certificates under control – compliance assured

Unclear responsibilities, limited visibility and manual processes turn digital certificates into a blind spot in audits – with a direct impact on compliance and security.

Documentation gaps increase risk

In many organizations, there is no central overview of certificates, responsibilities or lifecycle processes. Typical situations before an audit include:

Certificates: distributed across systems, cloud environments and applications
Verantwortlichkeiten: unklar oder nicht dokumentiert
Lifecycle-Prozesse: inkonsistent oder nicht nachvollziehbar
Audit-Nachweise: manuell zusammengestellt

The result: high effort, limited visibility and an increased risk of non-compliance.

Without evidence, compliance becomes critical

A lack of visibility into certificates leads to security gaps and audit-relevant findings. Specific impacts include:

Unvollständige oder fehlerhafte Audit-Nachweise
Verstöße gegen regulatorische Anforderungen (z. B. ISO 27001)
Erhöhter Prüfaufwand und manuelle Dokumentation
Verzögerungen bei Audits und Zertifizierungen

The problem: compliance is handled reactively rather than managed systematically.
