Many organizations are moving core components of their infrastructure to the cloud to enable cost savings and provide scalability. When running a PKI, the challenge is to secure the root as an offline resource and to separately manage the Root CA and issuing sub-CAs which need to be accessible online for certificate requests and issuance.

Encryption Consulting has the expertise and secure environment necessary to hold the Root Private Key offline and to manage the signing of keys used for online RAs and issuing sub-CAs. Customers will have a PKI CA hierarchy (two-tier or three-tier) as per their business needs. All CAs within this CA hierarchy will only issue certificates to the below level CAs and end-entity certificates for internal usage. The two-tier PKI CA hierarchy consists of a single PKI Root CA and two or more PKI Issuing CAs as per their business requirement.
