Evertrust is pleased to announce its strategic partnership with SwissSign, a leading Swiss certificate authority. This collaboration combines Evertrust's CLM platform (Horizon) with SwissSign's 100% Swiss-made certificates to offer organizations a comprehensive European alternative to US-dominated PKI solutions.
This partnership comes at a crucial time as organizations face unprecedented changes in certificate management:
Shorter certificate lifespans: The CA/Browser Forum's recent decision to reduce SSL/TLS certificate validity from 398 days to just 47 days by March 2029 makes manual certificate management impossible.
Post-quantum cryptography transition: Organizations must prepare for quantum-resistant algorithms as quantum computing threats become reality by 2030-2035.
Increasing certificate volumes: With shorter lifespans, organizations will face 10x more renewal events, creating operational challenges that only automation can solve.
Through this partnership:
More organizations from Switzerland, Germany and around the world gain access to Evertrust's automated certificate lifecycle management powered by our Horizon platform, supporting discovery, automation, and governance across hybrid environments.
SwissSign's expertise in Swiss-made public and private certificates ensures compliance with the highest security standards while maintaining data sovereignty.
Combined network of value-added resellers and SaaS partners provides local support and expertise for seamless implementation.
Organizations can confidently navigate both the 47-day certificate challenge and post-quantum cryptography transition with crypto-agile infrastructure.
The solution supports industry standards (ACME, EST, SCEP, WCCE) and integrates with over 15 certificate authorities, ensuring flexibility while maintaining European sovereignty.
This partnership reinforces our commitment to providing European organizations with sovereign digital trust solutions. With over 30 million certificates managed, 500,000+ machine identities secured, and 20%+ of CAC 40 companies already equipped with our solutions, we continue expanding our European footprint while offering a true alternative to global US-dominated PKI vendors.
Together with SwissSign, we're helping organizations achieve regulatory compliance (eIDAS V2, GDPR, NIS2) while preparing for the quantum era through automated, European-sovereign certificate management.
