Axiad CLM · Certificate Lifecycle Management

The certificate that takes you down is the one no one is tracking

Certificate lifespans are already down to 200 days and fall to 47 by 2029. Axiad CLM finds every certificate across every certificate authority, ties each one to an owner, and rotates it automatically before it expires.

The gap

The renewal deadline is set. Your certificate inventory isn't.

Certificate lifecycle management used to be a once-a-year chore. The CA/Browser Forum changed that for every publicly trusted TLS certificate.

Why now

Every certificate has an expiry date. Most teams can't find them all.

The certificates you don't track are theones that break

Discovery tools and spreadsheets cover the certificates someone remembered to register. Outages come from the rest: the test certificate promoted to production, the appliance no one owns, the certificate issued straight to a phone.

Rotation at 47 days isn't a job for people

Eight renewals a year, per certificate, across thousands of certificates. Manual tickets and one-off scripts held up at annual renewal. At this cadence they turn into a standing queue of outages waiting for a date.

Every certificate authority comes with its own console

Public CAs, a Microsoft CA, a cloud provider's CA, a vendor's private CA. Each has its own tools and its own view, so no one sees the whole estate, and policy depends on which console a certificate came from.

Post-quantum migration starts with aninventory

NIST has finalized its first post-quantum standards, and federal and industry mandates now come with dates. You can't migrate cryptography you can't find. Teams that can't list their certificates today can't plan a migration that touches every one of them.

Key use cases

Where teams put Axiad CLM to work first

47-day renewals

Put every certificate on automated renewal before the 100-day step. CLM moves your estate off tickets and scripts now, while the cadence still leaves room to fix what discovery turns up.

Post-quantum readiness

Know which certificates can't survive the quantum transition. CLM finds every certificate, flags the ones running on algorithms that will need to change, and centralizes control so you can rotate them at scale when the time comes.

Consolidation

Run your certificate authority, HSMs, and certificate lifecycle in one place. Pair Axiad CLM with Axiad PKI-as-a-Service to bring CA operations and lifecycle management under one roof as turnkey SaaS.

Why Axiad

A certificate tool can match features. It can't copy the platform above it.

Most CLM tools stop at the certificate. Axiad CLM is part of a platform that also decides which certificate and key risks matter most. Axiad Mesh ranks them by dependency and blast radius, and CLM executes the fix. Axiad Conductor does the same for workforce credentials.

Axiad Mesh decides

Ranks which certificate and key risks matter most, by dependency and blast radius.

Axiad CLM acts

Executes the fix on certificates and non-human identity: discovery, renewal, rotation and revocation.

Axiad Conductor acts

Does the same for workforce credentials, from issuance to phishing-resistant MFA.

Questions from PKI and security leaders

Does Axiad CLM work with our existing certificate authorities?

Yes. Axiad CLM is CA-agnostic. It discovers and manages certificates regardless of which authority issued them, public or private, so you don't have to standardize on one CA to get one view.

Do we have to replace the CLM tool we already have?

No. Many teams start by discovering what their current tools miss, then consolidate when a renewal comes up.

Does Axiad CLM require agents?

Agentless wherever possible. A lightweight agent is used only where a system requires one, such as some servers and appliances.

When does the 47-day change actually take effect?

The CA/Browser Forum schedule cuts maximum validity for publicly trusted TLS certificates to 200 days as of March 15, 2026, 100 days on March 15, 2027, and 47 days on March 15, 2029. The best time to automate is before the 100-day step, while there's still room to fix what discovery turns up.

Is Axiad CLM FedRAMP authorized?

Axiad Conductor is FedRAMP Moderate Authorized, and Axiad CLM is on a credible path to FedRAMP authorization. If your program needs FedRAMP today, talk to us about where CLM stands and what's available now.
