6-Point Check-Up on PKI Security
6-Point
Check-Up
on PKI
Security
Why PKI Security
Matters
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is the backbone of digital
security.
Cyber threats, certificate mismanagement, and
compliance failures weaken PKI security.
Regular PKI check-ups ensure data integrity,
authentication, and regulatory compliance.
With emSign Hub, downtime concerns become a thing of
the past.
Certificate Lifecycle
Management
Are certificates being monitored, renewed, and revoked timely?
Is there automation in place to prevent expiry-related
disruptions? Are wildcard and self-signed certificates properly
managed?
eMudhra Solution
emSign Hub helps manage all certificates from one
enterprise account.
Automated renewals, tracking, and centralized control.
Key Management & Security
Are encryption keys securely stored in HSMs (Hardware Security
Modules)?
Is key rotation and expiration enforced to prevent
compromise? Are cryptographic algorithms up to date with
industry standards?
eMudhra Solution
Centralized certificate & key management with full
lifecycle automation.
ACME & REST APIs for seamless integration with
applications.
Access Controls &
Authentication
Is PKI access restricted to authorized personnel?
Are multi-factor authentication (MFA) and role-based access
enforced? Are digital signatures used for non-repudiation and
integrity?
eMudhra Solution
Multi-user roles & permissions to manage security access.
SSO (Single Sign-On) with Microsoft 365 integration.
Compliance & Policy
Enforcement
Is PKI aligned with industry standards (NIST, PCI-DSS, eIDAS,
GDPR)? Are policies in place for certificate issuance, renewal, and
revocation? Are regular PKI audits and security assessments
conducted?
eMudhra Solution
emSign Hub provides built-in audit & compliance tracking.
Supports regulatory compliance for SSL/TLS, S/MIME,
IoT, and Code Signing certificates.
Incident Response & Revocation
Is there a well-defined revocation process for compromised
certificates?
Are CRLs (Certificate Revocation Lists) and OCSP responders
properly configured?
Is there an incident response plan for PKI-related threats?
eMudhra Solution
Automated revocation tracking & renewal alerts.
Vulnerability scanning with built-in certificate
discovery.
Scalability & Future-Readiness
Can PKI support growing digital transformation needs?
Is PKI adaptable to IoT, cloud security, and zero-trust architectures?
Are cryptographic techniques quantum-safe and forward-
compatible?
eMudhra Solution
Seamless scalability across multi-cloud, on-prem, and
hybrid environments.
emSign Hub supports IoT, Authentication, Document Signer
& Code Signing Certificates.
