The PKI Undertaking
A PKI project is a task you should not underestimate. Indeed, a Windows CA may be installed with a series of mouse clicks. Then what?
Many PKI projects have failed in the past because of missing expertise and experience in the teams. Grave, irreparable mistakes have been made during conception and implementation.
Often within an enterprise digital certificates are being used, but there a concerns if the PKI solution is solid and efficient.
Challenges for Planning, Building or Operating a PKI
Is my PKI sound?
The evaluation of an existing PKI is a complex task. Typically, the required skills and resources are missing in an organization. A neutral judgement of a competent third party is often desired.
Understanding of the PKI topic
Often there is no or at most limited understanding of PKI technologies and organization. IT-Security managers and also technical experts need a good basic knowledge for making decisions or operating a PKI.
Plan and design a PKI
Which are the most important PKI use cases for the organisation? What are the concrete requirements? What implementation options do exist? How does a good project plan look like? Which documentation is needed?
PKI implementation
Many organization prefer an internal PKI based on a Microsoft CA (ADCS). However, the needed skills and resources are not available in many cases. External consulting and engineering for the design and implementation of a Windows PKI is desired.
