Sectigo has launched Sectigo Partner Platform, which it describes as the first multi-tenant platform built specifically to let channel partners deliver certificate lifecycle management as a managed service. The release is aimed at MSPs, MSSPs, VARs, and distributors at a point when certificate volumes are rising, renewal cycles are tightening, and businesses are under greater pressure to avoid outages caused by expired or mismanaged certificates.
The company is pitching the launch against a growing visibility problem. Sectigo says recent research shows only 13% of organisations are extremely confident that they are tracking all certificates across their estates. That leaves a gap for partners able to package automation, oversight, and renewal workflows into a commercial service, particularly as shorter SSL/TLS certificate lifespans and post-quantum cryptography planning push certificate management higher up the operational agenda.
Jairo Fraile, vice president of global partner sales at Sectigo, said: “Shorter SSL/TLS certificate lifespans and the proliferation of certificates for nonhuman, machine identity use cases are driving unprecedented certificate volumes to manage, creating a major opportunity for partners.
“With Sectigo Partner Platform, MSPs can turn certificate lifecycle management into a scalable, revenue-generating managed service—reducing customer risk, preventing outages, and keeping pace with accelerating certificate lifecycles through automation and true multitenant control.”
Sectigo says the differentiator is true tenant separation. Rather than managing all end customers inside a single tenant, partners can give each customer its own isolated environment, with separate reporting, billing, certificate inventories, and administrative controls, while still working through one self-service interface. The platform also integrates with Sectigo Certificate Manager, the company’s existing CLM product, to automate validation, issuance, and renewals.
The wider commercial case is as important as the technical one. Sectigo says partners will be able to build subscription-based recurring revenue around CLM, while also adding services linked to private PKI and device certificates.
Timo Aarvala, CEO at Mintly Oy, said: “SPP’s multi-tenant architecture gives us the control and automation we need to deliver that assurance at scale. It also opens the door for us to grow our business by offering diverse, modern services like Certificate Lifecycle Management that address the digital trust challenges of today and tomorrow.”
