PKI is only as good as what surrounds it.

An investment in PKI is most often, not inexpensive to say the least. But most people often forget, like any technology, PKI too is only as good as what surrounds it. But here's the thing, there's a LOT that surrounds a PKI software set up. When running sensitive PKI environments, it's imperative to consistently hold yourself accountable against the highest standards in terms of how the PKI is used, maintained, administered, and operated. Here's where eMudhra Consultancy Services can help.

Measure yourself against gold standard, Webtrust

Governance

Establishing effective oversight and management to ensure compliance with WebTrust standards and strategic alignment with organizational objectives.

Documents, Policies, and Procedures

Creating and maintaining well-documented policies and procedures that adhere to WebTrust requirements, providing a foundation for secure operations.

People Management

Implementing processes and controls to manage personnel in alignment with WebTrust guidelines, ensuring a competent and reliable workforce for secure operations.

Keep your Policies Air-tight, Relevant, and Current

Policies form the core of any PKI operation. Certificate Policy, Certificate Practice Statement, and the multitude of security policies are all essential to ensure smooth operation of a PKI environment, especially one that is public in nature. eMudhra's team of experts have tremendous knowledge and experience on Policies for Global and National CA's with the first hand experience of consistently running and operating CA's at a multitude of hierarchies and levels in the global structure.

The Path to Peace of Mind on your PKI Ecosystem

1

Requirement Gathering

It's imperative that we get a sense of your PKI infrastructure and an understanding of what you're looking to assess at a high level
2

Project Kickoff

Upon completing any formal engagement procedure, during the Kickoff, we'll give you a view of what the journey and the timeline is going to look like to help you prepare accordingly.
3

Questionnaire and Response

This time around, the questions will be a bit more detailed. We may even need access to some of your policies, documents, and other materials that are essential to the project.
4

Off-site Preliminary Assessment

With what we have, we'll begin to dig in and start our assessment on the policies, procedures, documents, and other such elements that may not require physical interaction.
5

On-site Travel (as required)

In most engagements beyond policy consultation, some amount of on-site travel is generally required for assessment of infrastructure, adherence to policies, etc.
6

Data Analysis and Documentation

Now that we have the full picture, we'll work on Data analysis and documentation to essentially compile all the observations in a meaningful manner and incorporate our summary thoughts and opinions.
7

Draft Final Report

This will form our Draft Final Report for review by the Client and project stakeholders. The idea is to allow stakeholders to gather any questions and also give room for clarifications if required.
8

Q&A Session (Virtual)

The discussions pertaining to clarifications and questions will take place over a virtual Q&A session call between the project stakeholders and eMudhra consultants to arrive at a conclusion.
9

Final Report Submission

eMudhra will then prepare the final report on the basis of all observations and clarifications, which will be submitted to the Project Board or relevant Client team.
