DigiCert Trust Lifecycle Manager
DigiCert Trust Lifecycle Manager centralizes certificate discovery, management, governance, automation, and PKI services across an organization.
What DigiCert Trust Lifecycle Manager is
DigiCert Trust Lifecycle Manager centralizes certificate discovery, management, governance, automation, and PKI services across an organization. It is CA agnostic: teams can import certificates from any certificate authority or trust store and scan networks, clouds, and endpoints for unmanaged certificates. Administrators can set standards for algorithms, key sizes, and certificate lifetimes, then apply policies by region, environment, or line of business. The service automates renewals and routine changes, supporting ACME, EST, SCEP, CMPv2, and REST APIs. Enrollment options include web self-service, DigiCert Trust Assistant, Microsoft Active Directory autoenrollment, and other listed protocols. Connectors cover certificate authorities, cloud services, DNS, infrastructure automation, IT service management, secrets managers, and more. Premium adds Kubernetes, ServiceNow notifications and centralized enrollment workflows, and privileged access management integrations. It also supports ML-DSA and SLH-DSA for private certificate enrollment. Essentials costs $40 a year for a 12-month auto-renewing subscription with a 25-seat minimum; Advanced and Premium pricing is by contact with sales.
