The TLS Certificate Mandate Will Reshape How You Manage Digital Trust
The CA/Browser Forum has finalized changes that will shorten public TLS certificate lifespans to 200 days by next year and soon reduce to just 47 days. This means up to 12x more renewals, increased pressure to maintain compliance, and a higher risk of outages caused by expired or unmanaged certificates.
Manual processes simply won’t scale in this new environment.
Zirous, a certified CyberArk partner, is helping organizations get ahead of the shift with a free certificate discovery scan and 47-Day Readiness Assessment. This engagement delivers visibility, clarity, and a strategic roadmap to modernize your certificate management approach before renewal cycles become unmanageable.


Why Shorter Certificate Lifespans Matter
TLS certificates secure your websites, APIs, cloud environments, and digital transactions. Under the new guidelines, IT teams will be required to:
- Renew certificates much more frequently
- Manage dozens to thousands of expiration dates at once
- Avoid costly outages caused by missed or expired certificates
- Prove readiness and compliance in increasingly complex environments
Organizations without a clear certificate lifecycle strategy will fall behind.
What the 47-Day Certificate Scan & Readiness Assessment Includes:

Certificate Discovery Scan
We’ll perform a scan of your public-facing domains using CyberArk Certificate Manager to uncover expired, rogue, unauthorized, or wildcard certificates.

Readiness Assessment and Risk Analysis
You’ll receive a full readiness score, risk breakdown, and gap analysis – identifying automation opportunities and renewal challenges.

ROI and Compliance Roadmap
We’ll model cost savings and operational impact from automation, and provide a tailored action plan to ensure compliance and avoid disruptions.
