Prepare your organization for the mandatory 47-day certificate lifespan schedule

A critical, mandatory shift is coming to how your organization manages digital certificates. In a move recently approved by the CA/Browser Forum, the maximum lifespan for publicly trusted certificates is set to reduce drastically from the current 398 days down to 47 days by March 2029. Importantly, this isn't a distant concern—the move is said to roll out in a phased manner and includes significant intermediate steps starting as early as March 2026, by which time the certificate lifespan will come down to 200 days.

What this means for your organization

This mandate means you will have to renew certificates much more frequently (up to eight times a year). Relying on manual processes will be unsustainable, increasing administrative overheads and the risk of costly outages. This means that automation is no longer optional.
