Why Certificate Monitoring?

Certificates expire silently. The problems they cause don't.

Stop Outages Before They Start

An expired certificate takes services offline immediately. Get days of advance warning, not a 2am incident call.

More Than Expiration Dates

Detects revoked certificates, broken chains, hostname mismatches, and weak algorithms before clients ever see an error.

Every Protocol Covered

Monitor HTTPS, SMTPS, IMAPS, LDAPS, and STARTTLS connections wherever your infrastructure uses TLS.

Catch Load Balancer Drift

When servers in a pool serve different certificates, users see intermittent errors. Certificate consistency checks catch this automatically.

Avoid Emergency Costs

Emergency renewals, incident response, and revenue loss from an expired certificate cost far more than the monitoring that prevents it.

Verify Auto-Renewal Is Working

Let's Encrypt and other ACME-based systems renew automatically, until they don't. Monitoring confirms renewals actually completed, not just that they were scheduled.

The Complete Guide to SSL Certificate Monitoring covers fundamentals, renewal operations, and incident response in one reference.

Certificate Outages Aren't Rare. They're Just Found Late.

Most expiries aren't surprises; someone knew the cert was expiring, and the renewal just slipped. What separates an outage from a close call is whether the right person finds out on the next check or the next customer call. Also monitor your email blacklist reputation.

Production and Staging Shouldn't Alert the Same Way.

When every environment alerts at the same volume, oncall mutes all of them. Tune every failure mode independently per profile, so production screams when a chain breaks and dev stays quiet when nothing real went wrong.

The Partial Rollout You Didn't Notice.

Cert deploys roll out one backend at a time. If one node lags, a slice of your customers sees a broken padlock; we check every IP behind the hostname, not just the first one DNS hands out.

Built for Compliance

Certificate lifecycle management is a documented requirement across the most common security and privacy frameworks. Automated monitoring and change alerts are the controls auditors expect to see.

PCI DSS
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard
Requires valid TLS certificates on all cardholder data environments. Automated monitoring ensures certificates never lapse, with change alerts that support audit trail requirements.
SOC 2
Service Organization Control 2
Auditors expect documented controls for certificate lifecycle management. Expiration alerts and validation reports provide the evidence collection your SOC 2 program requires.
HIPAA
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
Requires encryption in transit for protected health information. Certificate monitoring confirms TLS protection remains continuously active across all covered systems and services.
ISO 27001
Information Security Management
Annex A controls include cryptographic key and certificate management. Automated tracking and alerting directly supports the documented controls your ISMS requires.
GDPR / CCPA
Data Protection Regulations
Data protection regulations require appropriate technical safeguards. Valid certificates on every endpoint handling personal data is a baseline expectation for regulatory compliance.
FedRAMP / NIST
Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program
NIST 800-53 controls require continuous monitoring of cryptographic mechanisms. Certificate Monitoring provides the automated oversight these frameworks demand.

What's Included

Everything you need to monitor SSL/TLS certificates across your infrastructure.

Configurable Alerts

Set up custom alert thresholds anywhere between 0 and 90 days before expiration.

Monitoring Profiles

Group hosts into profiles with shared alert thresholds and settings. Create separate profiles for production, staging, and internal services, each independently configured.

Comprehensive Validation

Every check validates the full certificate chain, hostname matching, revocation status, cryptographic algorithm strength, and DNS CAA record configuration.

Port & Protocol Flexibility

Monitor certificates on any port. Supports STARTTLS for mail (SMTP, IMAP, POP3), directory (LDAP), and file transfer (FTP) protocols.

Fingerprint Change Alerts

Get alerted when a certificate is renewed, replaced, or changed unexpectedly, including potential substitution attacks.

Private Network Monitoring

On-premise monitoring agents track internal certificates and private CA infrastructure without exposing your internal network. Learn about internal CA monitoring.
