The 90-Day SSL Certificate Is Disappearing.
The industry is moving towards hyper-short certificate lifespans. Is your SaaS ready to handle renewals for every single customer domain, every few weeks?
Automate Renewals NowThe Technical Reality: Why the Clock Is Ticking Faster
For years, the maximum validity period for a publicly trusted SSL certificate has been over a year, but this is changing. The final policy voted on by the CA/Browser Forum (which includes all major browser vendors) sets a clear and aggressive phased reduction timeline. This isn't just an inconvenience. It's a fundamental shift that turns a predictable, low-frequency task into a high-frequency, high-risk one. The old process was like changing your car's oil once a year; the new one is like having to remember to do it every month. The simple act of renewing a certificate is manageable on its own, but the sheer volume and frequency of the work for a growing SaaS with thousands of custom domains makes the manual process collapse under its own weight.
The Impact on Your SaaS Business
For every custom domain your customers use, the operational burden is about to multiply. This translates to real costs and risks.
Increased Renewals
What was once a quarterly task per domain will become a monthly, or even weekly, necessity. Manual renewals at this scale are unsustainable.
RENEWAL FREQUENCY
4x
Per Year
8x+
Per Year
Customer Outages
With more frequent renewals, the risk of a missed expiration and a "Not Secure" warning for your customers increases dramatically.
RISK OF OUTAGE
Engineering Drain
Your developers' time will be diverted from building core features to managing and troubleshooting a high-volume certificate pipeline.
