Introducing Trustico® Certificate as a Service (CaaS)

The SSL Certificate industry is evolving rapidly, and manual SSL Certificate management is becoming a thing of the past.

Today, we're excited to announce Trustico® Certificate as a Service (CaaS) – a revolutionary approach to SSL Certificate management that eliminates manual processes, reduces costs, and ensures your websites never experience downtime due to expired SSL Certificates.

The Problem with Traditional SSL Certificate Management

If you've ever managed SSL Certificates manually, you know the pain points all too well.

Manual ordering processes require navigating complex interfaces, time-consuming validation steps involve multiple approval e-mails, and renewal reminders create constant administrative overhead. Traditional vs Certificate as a Service (CaaS) 🔗

Installation headaches multiply across multiple servers, expiration anxiety creates the constant risk of website downtime, and unpredictable costs increase with each additional SSL Certificate you need.

For organizations managing multiple domains, environments, or servers, these challenges multiply exponentially.

Development teams need SSL Certificates for staging environments, production systems require high-availability SSL Certificate management, and growing businesses face escalating costs as their infrastructure expands.

Introducing Complete SSL Certificate Automation

Trustico® Certificate as a Service (CaaS) transforms SSL Certificate management through complete automation powered by the industry-standard ACME protocol.

Instead of purchasing individual SSL Certificates, you purchase annual services per domain and receive unlimited SSL Certificates with zero manual intervention.

The process is remarkably simple; purchase your service for the domains you need to secure, receive EAB credentials that connect your ACME client to your paid service, configure your ACME client once with your credentials, and let automation handle everything else including issuance, validation, installation, and replacement.

Your ACME client automatically requests and installs fresh SSL Certificates as required, ensuring continuous protection without any manual processes or renewal reminders. This eliminates the risk of SSL Certificate expiration and the associated website downtime that can damage your business.

Revolutionary Pricing Model

Traditional SSL Certificate pricing becomes expensive quickly when you need to secure multiple servers or environments. Trustico® Certificate as a Service (CaaS) uses a simple, predictable pricing model that changes everything.

You pay per domain annually, not per SSL Certificate, and receive unlimited SSL Certificates for each domain service. There are no additional costs for multiple servers, environments, or reissuance, and transparent pricing means no surprise renewal fees. Trustico® Certificate as a Service (CaaS) Information 🔗
