PKI Solutions is proud to announce the integration of the PKI Maturity Model Self-Assessment from the PKI Consortium into PKI Spotlight, the cutting-edge platform for real-time Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) observability and management. This strategic addition will empower organizations to assess and improve their PKI management practices while aligning with the Consortium's industry-leading standards.

The PKI Consortium, a trusted global entity dedicated to advancing PKI best practices and standards, developed the PKI Maturity Model to provide organizations with a comprehensive framework to evaluate the maturity of their PKI operations. By including the PKI Maturity Model Self-Assessment tool directly within PKI Spotlight, users can now access an intuitive solution that helps measure and enhance their PKI implementations' efficiency, security, and governance.

Driving Consistency and Excellence in PKI Management

As organizations increasingly rely on PKI for secure communications, authentication, and data integrity, effective PKI management has become a critical component of their cybersecurity strategy. With the PKI Maturity Model Self-Assessment, organizations can objectively evaluate their PKI processes across critical areas, such as cryptographic key lifecycle management, certificate authority operations, policy management, and incident response readiness.

The collaboration between PKI Spotlight and the PKI Consortium supports a unified goal: to set high standards for PKI management and foster community-wide consistency. Through this integration, PKI Spotlight users can:

Self-assess their PKI maturity: Understand current capabilities and identify areas for improvement.
Align with industry best practices: Leverage the Consortium’s expertise in setting robust standards for PKI management.
Improve operational security: Proactively mitigate risks by enhancing PKI governance and resilience.

Strengthening the PKI Community

“We are excited to offer the PKI Maturity Model Self-Assessment within PKI Spotlight. This partnership with the PKI Consortium is an important step towards promoting a higher standard of PKI management,” said Lindsay Bell, Product Manager for PKI Spotlight. “By providing organizations with the tools they need to evaluate and strengthen their PKI practices, we aim to help them achieve better operational security and compliance with evolving industry standards.”

“The integration of the PKI Maturity Model Self-Assessment into PKI Spotlight marks an important step forward in helping organizations improve their PKI management practices. By providing a structured framework to assess maturity, we are enabling organizations to identify gaps and take actionable steps to enhance their security, governance, and operational resilience in line with industry best practices,” said Roman Cinkais, Chair of the PKI Maturity Model Working Group.

The PKI Consortium continues to play a vital role in guiding the evolution of PKI management, and this integration underscores the shared vision of elevating the capabilities of the PKI community. Together, PKI Spotlight and the Consortium are enabling organizations to take a proactive, standardized approach to PKI, driving greater trust and security across digital ecosystems.
