SwissSign Announces Strategic Partnership with Evertrust to Advance Certificate Lifecycle Management

SwissSign is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Evertrust, a Gartner-recognised leader in Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM). This collaboration expands SwissSign’s strong network of PKI solution partners and enables the delivery of advanced CLM services powered by Evertrust’s Horizon platform.

The Evertrust Certificate Lifecycle Management platform (Horizon), developed and hosted entirely in Europe, offers automated certificate issuance, inventory, renewal, and revocation across corporate and cloud environments. It supports both on-premise and multi-cloud deployments. SwissSign complements this with public and private certificates that are 100% made in Switzerland.

Together with our strong network of value-added resellers and SaaS partners, we offer a European and Swiss alternative to global US-dominated CAs and PKI vendors, providing local support and highest security and compliance standards for organisations valuing their digital sovereignty – and cost-efficiency.

The partnership addresses critical industry developments, including the CA/Browser Forum’s decision to reduce SSL/TLS certificate lifespans from 398 days to just 47 days by March 2029, and the transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC). These changes — combined with the growing number of connected devices and the rise of agentic AI authentication — will make automated certificate management essential. Working with a reliable provider that prioritises trust, collaboration, and ecosystem integration will be key for organisations aiming to stay secure, scalable, and future-ready.

With this new partnership, SwissSign further strengthens its PKI ecosystem, remaining a trusted provider of public and private certificates with strong Swiss roots – and a continued commitment to delivering value through a broad range of secure and future-ready partner PKI platforms.
