Key Benefits

  • Complete compliance

    – Ascertia’s Web RA Certificate Locator enables you to easily track down certificates that aren’t compliant with corporate policy. From within the intuitive web portal, you can find and report on certificates that are not from corporate approved suppliers and ensure certificates are compliant with International standards, CA/Browser baseline requirements for TLS, and leading certificate programs.

  • Streamline Reporting

    – Our software lets you easily scan networks, Microsoft certificates stores, or Java key stores for all types of certificates. You can then create reporting filters and automate your reporting. This reduces administrative burden while ensure your team are aware and accountable.

  • Effortless deployment

    – Certificate Locator can be easily deployed as a standalone product enabling you to locate, report and notify certificate owners when a certificate is due to expire or if a policy violation is detected. Alternatively, you can combine this with ADSS Server’s external certificate authority (CA) connectors for full lifecycle management.
