ENTERPRISE PKI · CERTIFICATE LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT

Modernize Enterprise PKI without losing control of trust.

Replace fragmented certificate processes and aging PKI components with a target architecture that teams can operate, recover and demonstrate. keyONE connects governance, platforms, migration and lifecycle automation.

THE OPERATING CONTEXT

PKI modernization is an operating-model change, not only a platform replacement.

Legacy issuing systems, manual renewals, unclear application ownership and growing compliance demands are tightly connected. Replacing one component without mapping these dependencies can move risk rather than remove it. The modernization path must keep existing trust relationships usable while the future operating model is introduced.

A recoverable PKI target state with controlled certificate lifecycles.

A CONTROLLABLE RESULT

What a controlled PKI modernization establishes.

The target is a transparent and operable service, with migration decisions and lifecycle responsibilities that can be verified.

01

Defined target architecture

Trust boundaries, issuing services, key protection, integrations and responsibilities follow one documented design.

02

Controlled certificate lifecycles

Request, issuance, renewal, binding, revocation and exception handling become understandable operating processes.

03

Recoverable migration

Transitions are staged with acceptance criteria, coexistence decisions and a tested fallback instead of an irreversible cutover.

04

Evidence-ready operations

Ownership, changes and technical state can be demonstrated to service owners, risk functions and auditors.

THE APPROACH

Move from inventory to a stable target state.

The sequence keeps architecture, delivery and operations connected so that each step produces a usable result.

  1. 01

    Discover the current trust estate

    Map certificate populations, issuing systems, applications, interfaces, key stores, dependencies and known failure points.

  2. 02

    Define control and acceptance criteria

    Agree on the target architecture, responsibility model, policies, recovery requirements and evidence needed for acceptance.

  3. 03

    Migrate in controlled stages

    Pilot representative services, validate compatibility and move workloads with observable checkpoints and fallback paths.

  4. 04

    Automate and verify operations

    Connect lifecycle workflows, monitoring and technical evidence to the teams that own the protected services.

THE RIGHT FIT

Where this solution is useful.

The modernization path adapts to the actual risk and maturity of the environment instead of assuming a complete replacement.

01

Aging or fragmented PKI estates

Multiple CAs, undocumented dependencies or expiring platform support make coordinated decisions difficult.

02

Manual CLM processes

Certificate work depends on tickets, spreadsheets and individual knowledge rather than a controlled lifecycle.

03

Regulated operations

Risk, audit and service teams need reliable evidence of ownership, policy and technical state.
