Never Get Blindsided by
an Expired Certificate

An expired or misconfigured certificate can take your website offline, trigger browser security warnings, and damage customer trust — instantly. We watch your entire certificate inventory around the clock, so your team doesn't have to.

The Challenge

The Risk Is Bigger Than You Think

Most organizations assume certificate management is simple. It isn't. Without a complete, monitored inventory, something will eventually get missed — and the consequences are immediate.

Certificates expire without warning

Outages caused by expired certificates almost always happen outside business hours, when your team is least prepared to respond.

Expiry is only part of the problem

Most cert-related incidents are caused by misconfiguration — weak ciphers, outdated TLS versions, missing HSTS headers — not expiry alone.

You probably have more certs than you realize

Websites, internal apps, VPNs, load balancers, email servers, customer portals — each has a certificate. Without a complete inventory, something always gets missed.

Compliance requirements are tightening

SOC 2, ISO 27001, and cyber insurance audits are increasingly scrutinizing certificate and TLS configuration as evidence of security controls.

How It Works

A Fully Managed Service — Three Simple Tiers

1

Onboarding

One-time fee*

If you know what you want monitored, simply provide a list of your external sites, domains, and services — we get everything configured at no onboarding charge. If you need us to discover and inventory certificates across your environment, we deploy a small poller inside your network to find them. That discovery engagement is a one-time fee.

2

Ongoing Monitoring

Monthly fee

We watch everything continuously — expiry windows, unexpected changes, weak ciphers, deprecated TLS versions, missing HSTS, OCSP failures, hostname mismatches, and domain registration changes. When something needs attention, we contact you with a plain-language explanation and your options. You hear from us only when action is required.

3

Remediation

Time & materials

If an issue comes up and you want us to fix it, we handle it on a time-and-materials basis. Typical work includes certificate renewal and installation, cipher suite hardening, and TLS configuration updates. We provide a clear scope and estimate before any work begins — no surprise invoices. Remediation is always optional.

* No onboarding fee when you provide your own certificate inventory. Discovery engagements (internal network scanning) are billed as a one-time fee.

Coverage

What We Monitor

External Certificates

Public-facing websites, customer portals, APIs, CDN endpoints, and email servers — monitored continuously for expiry and configuration issues.

Internal Certificates

On-prem servers, VPNs, and internal applications — monitored via a private poller deployed inside your network. Same visibility, fully contained.

Technical Health Checks

Weak ciphers, deprecated TLS versions, missing HSTS headers, OCSP failures, and hostname mismatches — the issues that fail security audits.

Domain Registration

Registrar changes, nameserver changes, and domain renewal dates — catches hijacking or accidental lapse before it becomes an outage.

Why Hanlinca

You Stay in Control.
We Handle the Watching.

  • Eliminate the risk of unexpected outages caused by expired or misconfigured certificates
  • Reduce the time your IT team spends tracking and chasing renewals
  • Maintain a documented certificate inventory for compliance and audit purposes
  • Free up staff to focus on higher-value work
  • Remediation only happens when you authorize it — you're always in control of scope

How we work with you

You decide which certificates and domains we monitor. You can add or remove monitors at any time.

When something needs attention, we come to you with a plain-language explanation — not a wall of technical alerts to sort through.

If you want us to fix it, we give you a clear scope and estimate first. If you'd rather handle it internally, we support that too.

Our job is to make sure nothing surprises you.
