AWS Private CA

Overview

QCecuring integrates with AWS Private CA to provide centralized governance over private certificates issued within AWS environments. Organizations can leverage AWS’s managed CA infrastructure while maintaining enterprise-wide visibility and policy control through QCecuring.

Key capabilities

• Certificate issuance through AWS Private CA subordinate CAs managed within QCecuring workflows.
• Inventory synchronization of all certificates issued by AWS Private CA across accounts.
• Policy enforcement for certificate templates, validity periods, and key usage extensions.
• Centralized revocation management through AWS Private CA’s CRL and OCSP capabilities.
• Unified reporting across AWS Private CA and other connected certificate authorities.

Typical use cases

• Organizations using AWS Private CA for internal service-to-service mTLS certificates.
• Security teams requiring centralized governance over private certificates issued across AWS accounts.
• Enterprises building hybrid PKI with AWS Private CA as a subordinate to an on-premises root CA.

High-level integration flow

1. Configure IAM permissions for QCecuring to interact with AWS Private CA resources.
2. Map AWS Private CA hierarchies and templates to QCecuring’s issuance policies.
3. Certificate requests flow through QCecuring’s policy engine before issuance via AWS Private CA.
4. Issued certificates are tracked in QCecuring’s inventory with full lifecycle metadata.
5. Revocation, renewal, and compliance reporting are managed centrally across all connected CAs.

CBOM Discovery

QCecuring’s CBOM module inventories all certificates issued by AWS Private CA, including algorithm types, key sizes, and chain relationships for comprehensive cryptographic asset tracking.
