Security Review Ready

Security controls for certificate automation

Private key protection, RBAC, tenant isolation, and auditability presented for security teams evaluating certificate automation.

The security model is designed to support ACME workflows, renewal visibility, and governed certificate operations without turning vendor review into an engineering exercise.

Private Key Protection

  • Private keys stay encrypted in secure key vaults and are never exposed as raw exports
  • Certificate bundle exports require password protection every time
  • Encryption, key rotation, and policy-aware handling reduce operational risk

Automation Reliability

  • ACME issuance and renewal workflows reduce manual certificate handoffs
  • DNS-01 validation supports broader renewal coverage across environments
  • Expiry monitoring and renewal visibility help teams stay ahead of outage windows

Access Control & RBAC

Role-based access control keeps certificate operations governed so teams can automate issuance, renewal, and revocation without widening access unnecessarily.

Admin

Full system access & user management

Cert Manager

Issue, renew & revoke certificates

Viewer

Read-only access to certificates

Multi-Tenant Isolation

Standard Isolation (Trial & Pro)

Strict logical isolation keeps tenant data separated across routine certificate operations, monitoring, and access control workflows.

Enterprise Isolation

For ultimate security, Enterprise tenants can run in a dedicated isolated environment:

  • Dedicated isolated environment per tenant
  • Isolated data and service boundaries
  • Separate operational controls for security review
  • No shared compute or storage resources

Audit & Compliance

Every critical certificate action is logged so security teams can review who changed what and when.

  • Immutable audit logs for all certificate operations
  • User login and authentication events
  • API access logs
  • Retention policies aligned with compliance requirements

Key Security Facts

  • Private key protection: Certifyz never exports raw private keys. Teams can export password-protected certificate bundles, and a password is always required.
  • Automation: Supports ACME issuance and ACME-managed renewal workflows. Trial defaults to Let's Encrypt for ACME issuance, and Professional adds ZeroSSL.
  • Access control: Certifyz enforces strict organization-level RBAC for certificate operations.
  • Auditability: All certificate operations are audit logged for review and compliance workflows.
  • Isolation: Enterprise plans support a dedicated isolated environment with isolated services, storage, and security review workflows.

Move from security review to rollout

Use the security reference material to complete vendor review, then review pricing for a dedicated enterprise deployment.
