[/cs_excerpt] [cs_profile_desc] A leading US healthcare organization focused on preventive care, electronic health records, and reducing healthcare costs. An early adopter of telemedicine and comprehensive health information systems, operating under strict HIPAA compliance requirements.

Certificates were scattered across domains, servers, and cloud services. They were tracked by spreadsheet, enrolled inconsistently, and expired without warning.”] [cs_challenge icon=”0″ title=”Manual management at scale” tag=”LIFECYCLE”] Spreadsheet tracking blocked enterprise-wide policy enforcement and gave no visibility into who issued keys or certificates, leaving auditing unreliable and the environment exposed to errors. [/cs_challenge] [cs_challenge icon=”1″ title=”Silent certificate outages” tag=”DISCOVERY & OUTAGES”] With no automated discovery across domains, servers, devices, and cloud, certificates expired silently, causing SSL/TLS outages that hit security posture, trust, reputation, finances, and compliance. [/cs_challenge] [cs_challenge icon=”2″ title=”No enrollment controls” tag=”ENROLLMENT”] No standardized process for requesting and obtaining certificates from CAs eroded trust, disrupted secure communications, and left the environment non-compliant with standards and regulations such as HIPAA. [/cs_challenge] [/cs_challenges]

[cs_quote author=”Encryption Consulting” role=”CERTSECURE MANAGER TEAM”] When we assessed the environment, certificates were everywhere and visibility was nowhere. Renewals were tracked in spreadsheets that could not keep up with the scale or the compliance burden, and every cycle carried the risk of another silent outage. [/cs_quote]
