Why crtmanager
Certificates never leave your environment
! Direct CA fetch
- × Each device reaches the CA over the internet
- × Firewall needs a rule per device
- × Hard to audit end to end
✓ crtmanager model
- ✓ One protected endpoint to the CA
- ✓ Delivered into a vault inside your environment
- ✓ Every step audited, failures alert immediately

Positioning
CRTManager vs enterprise certificate lifecycle management
Purpose-built for Azure certificate operations
| Capability | CRTManager | Typical Enterprise CLM Platform |
|---|---|---|
| Customer-controlled Azure operating model | ||
| Deployed in the customer's Azure tenant | ✓ Native operating model | Available in selected deployment models |
| Certificate material remains in customer-controlled storage | ✓ Customer-controlled by design | Depends on product and deployment model |
| Native Microsoft Entra ID and Managed Identity | ✓ Built in | Typically integration-dependent |
| Azure-focused certificate deployment automation | ✓ Core capability | Typically connector-dependent |
| DNS validation evidence and lifecycle visibility | ✓ Built into the lifecycle workflow | Depends on product and connector |
| Certificate lifecycle operations | ||
| Extensible CA-provider architecture | ✓ Provider-specific integrations | ✓ Connector-based integrations |
| Multi-CA operations | Supported for configured CA providers | Supported through available connectors |
| Public certificate renewal automation | Supported for configured CA providers | Supported through available connectors |
| Secure certificate storage | ✓ Azure Key Vault | ✓ Product or integration-specific |
| Governed revocation workflow | Supported for configured CA providers | Depends on CA connector and workflow configuration |
| Deployment, control and evidence | ||
| Azure, Windows, Linux and hybrid distribution | ✓ Target-based delivery | Depends on available connectors or agents |
| Pre- and post-deployment validation | ✓ Built into the deployment workflow | Varies by product and integration |
| Controlled retry and rollback workflows | ✓ Built into deployment operations | Varies by product and integration |
| End-to-end lifecycle evidence | ✓ Request, validation, deployment and operational history | Coverage varies by integrated systems |
| Customer-owned operational audit data | ✓ Retained inside the customer environment | Depends on product and deployment model |
CRTManager is purpose-built for customer-controlled certificate operations across Azure and hybrid environments. It extends certificate lifecycle management into the actual delivery path with target-based deployment, validation, recovery and operational evidence.
Enterprise CLM platforms typically provide broader machine identity, discovery, private PKI and multi-environment capabilities. CRTManager provides a focused Azure operating model for organizations that prioritize customer control, native Azure identity and governed certificate delivery.
Capabilities depend on the configured CA and DNS providers, available connectors, licensing, deployment model and target environment.
