See every certificate risk before it becomes an incident.

By Updated

Shadow certs, rogue issuance, weak crypto, and unowned keys are attack surface you can’t see. MachineCert scores every certificate by risk and surfaces what needs attention first.

Seven failure modes
MachineCert flags automatically.

Weak KeySHA-1ExpiredUnknown OwnerWildcardMissing CTUntrusted Chain
The problem

Certificates are
unmonitored attack surface.

Every certificate is an identity. The ones you can’t see are the ones attackers and outages exploit first.

Shadow certificates

Certs issued for your domains that no one tracked — invisible attack surface.

Rogue issuance

Mis-issued or unauthorized certificates that signal compromise or abuse.

Weak crypto

SHA-1, short keys, and deprecated algorithms still live in production.

Unknown owners

Certificates nobody owns can’t be rotated, revoked, or remediated.

Why existing approaches fail

Your stack wasn’t built
for machine identity.

Vulnerability scanners

Find software CVEs — not mis-issued or weak certificates.

CA portals

Show only what that CA issued, missing the full picture.

Manual audits

A point-in-time snapshot that’s stale the moment it’s done.

SIEM alone

Has the logs but no certificate context, risk model, or ownership.

How it works

From raw certificates to
a prioritized risk queue.

Operational outcomes

Shrink the certificate
attack surface.

Eliminate blind spots

Surface shadow and unowned certs across every environment.

Catch rogue issuance

CT-log correlation flags mis-issuance in real time.

Kill weak crypto

Find and replace SHA-1 and short keys before they’re exploited.

Audit-ready compliance

Continuous evidence for SOC 2, PCI, HIPAA, and more.

Faster incident response

Every cert has an owner and a blast radius on day one.

Quantify cert risk

One 0–100 score makes posture measurable and trackable.

FAQ

Certificate security,
answered.

Each certificate gets a 0–100 score derived from expiry proximity, cryptographic strength (algorithm and key size), exposure (public vs internal), chain and revocation health, and ownership. The score makes posture measurable and lets teams prioritize the certs that matter most.
MachineCert continuously correlates Certificate Transparency log issuance against your known inventory. Certificates issued for your domains that nobody registered are flagged as shadow or potentially rogue — an early signal of mis-issuance or abuse.
Yes. It inspects every certificate’s signature algorithm and key size and flags deprecated crypto such as SHA-1 and undersized RSA keys, so you can remediate before they’re exploited.
MachineCert provides continuous, exportable evidence of certificate posture mapped to frameworks like SOC 2, PCI DSS, and HIPAA — replacing point-in-time manual audits with always-current control evidence.
Yes. Risk findings and alerts route to Slack, Microsoft Teams, Jira, ServiceNow, PagerDuty, webhooks, and SIEM pipelines, so certificate risk flows into your existing security operations.
Because every certificate already has an owner, on-call rotation, and blast radius via the Machine Trust Graph, responders skip the discovery phase and go straight to remediation.
No. Discovery and risk analysis use certificate metadata only — subject, issuer, validity, algorithm, chain, and host. Private keys never leave your environment.
A footprint scan returns a risk-scored inventory in about 60 seconds for public and cloud sources, so security teams get an immediate, prioritized view of certificate risk.
