47-Day Certificate Automation Readiness Checklist

September 24, 2025

The clock is ticking on TLS certificate lifespans. Starting March 2026, public TLS certificates will shrink to 200 days, with 100-day and 47-day limits soon to follow. This shift means an 8–12x increase in renewals — a pace that will break manual workflows and overwhelm unprepared teams.

Our 47-Day Certificate Automation Readiness Checklist gives you clear, actionable benchmarks to prepare. You’ll learn how to:

  • Discover and assess all public TLS certificates — including hidden and unauthorized ones.
  • Assign ownership and enforce policy to close accountability gaps.
  •  Automate renewals at scale across clouds, platforms, and tools.
  • Monitor and prove control with dashboards, KPIs, and audit-ready reports.

This is your roadmap to aligning certificate operations with shrinking lifespans — and avoiding outages, compliance failures, and operational chaos.

Download the checklist now to benchmark your readiness and take the first step toward scalable, audit-ready certificate automation.
