Certificate operations, made repeatable

Certinite exists to replace spreadsheet-driven TLS hygiene with a control plane your team can audit: clear states, structured jobs, and local execution where certificates actually terminate.

Mission

Expiring certificates still take services offline. The failure mode is rarely “crypto”—it is operational: wrong host, missed renewal, binding drift, or secrets shared over chat. Our mission is to make issuance, renewal, and binding boringly reliable across Windows IIS and Linux fleets.

We optimize for teams who own production: infrastructure engineers, platform groups, and MSPs who need tenant boundaries without losing a single pane of glass.

Why the product looks like this

Many organizations start with ad-hoc ACME clients and one-off scripts. That works until scale: each host becomes a snowflake, renewals become calendar theater, and audits become archaeology.

Certinite centralizes orchestration and visibility while keeping privileged work on the edge. Agents poll for work, validate and install locally, and report structured outcomes—so your control plane stays truthful without asking every server to run a full CA client stack.

Product approach

Native integration, not duct-taped edge scripts

On Windows, IIS binding and certificate store semantics matter. The agent is built as a small .NET worker that can execute the local steps correctly and consistently—reducing the “it worked on one host” class of failures.

Orchestration in the control plane

Validation strategy, lifecycle state, and scheduling live where operators already collaborate: the dashboard and API. Agents remain narrow: execute jobs, protect local material, and return evidence suitable for support and compliance narratives.

Operating principles

How we make decisions in product and in public communication:

Prefer explicit states and structured job results over opaque background magic.
Default to outbound-only connectivity patterns that fit enterprise egress models.
Treat multi-tenancy as a safety feature—not an afterthought—for providers.
Document architecture honestly: docs for behavior, blog for trade-offs, security for trust.
Avoid promising “zero effort” TLS; we promise repeatable pipelines operators can run in production.

About FAQ

Is Certinite only for Windows IIS?

Windows IIS is a first-class integration path, and Linux web stacks (Nginx/Apache) are supported with the same dashboard model. Pick the agent footprint that matches your edge.

Do you replace my certificate authority?

No. Certinite orchestrates issuance and lifecycle workflows with public ACME authorities and commercial flows as your design requires. The value is operational discipline and binding automation—not becoming a CA.

Where should I start evaluating?

Read Documentation and Security, then create a workspace and run a full issuance and renewal cycle on a non-production host. Features and Pricing help align capability with your plan.
