ARKION
§ PlatformCertificate Lifecycle

The substrate
beneath the estate.

Certificates are the only credential that is cryptographically bound, time-limited, programmatically rotatable, and instantly revocable. That is Arkion's substrate.

THE GOVERNED PATH
01

Discover

Continuously discovers TLS certificates across your entire infrastructure — public and internal CAs, cloud-managed, self-signed, and wildcard. Every certificate catalogued with its full chain of trust.

02

Govern

Each certificate moves through a governed lifecycle: Issued → Active → Expiring → Rotated → Archived. Policy enforced at every transition. No silent expiry. No orphaned credentials.

03

Rotate

Initiates certificate rotation without downtime. During the overlap window, both old and new certificates are valid, allowing graceful rollover across distributed services.

04

Revoke

When a certificate must be revoked — compromise, decommissioning, or policy change — Arkion executes the revocation, confirms propagation, and maintains the immutable audit trail.

FOUR RISK SIGNALS

Every certificate scored. Continuously.

01

Certificate validity

Days to expiry, key strength, issuer trust chain

02

Rotation history

Frequency, last rotation, policy compliance

03

Ownership mapping

Assigned owner, team, escalation path

04

Behavioral anomaly

Unusual connection patterns, scope violations

Every certificate. Governed.

A read-only discovery scan surfaces every certificate in your estate. No agents installed. No credentials required.
