Company also earns new CLM Leader status across India, Asia, and Asia Pacific regions

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.: #PKI--Sectigo, a global leader in automated Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM) and digital certificates, today announced another record‑setting performance in the G2 Spring 2026 Grid Reports. For the 12th consecutive quarter – three straight years – G2 customer reviews have ranked Sectigo as a Leader in both the CLM and SSL/TLS Certificate Tools categories. In the CLM category, Sectigo Certificate Manager (SCM) earned the top user satisfaction score, securing the #1 ranking. Additionally, for the first time, Sectigo has earned placements in G2’s CLM Regional Grid Reports in India, Asia and Asia Pacific, with SCM ranking as a clear leader across all three regions.

Shorter Certificate Lifetimes Increase Renewal Risk and Operational Complexity

On March 15, 2026, shorter SSL/TLS certificate lifespans were introduced, cutting certificate validity periods in half. This shift requires IT teams to renew certificates every six months instead of once per year, dramatically increasing certificate renewal risk and exposing the limits of manual certificate processes. The change has instantly doubled renewal volume, magnifying certificate lifecycle complexity and the likelihood of missed renewals and outages as organizations struggle with a rapidly growing certificate inventory. SCM, which continues to top G2 customer feedback rankings, closes critical automation gaps in certificate management and provides a clear path forward.

G2 Customer Reviews Confirm Sectigo Certificate Manager as the #1 CLM

Customers continue to deliver standout feedback for SCM. Beyond ranking as the undisputed CLM leader since the Winter 2025 Grid Reports, the latest G2 Grid Reports show SCM earning the highest customer satisfaction score in the CLM category at 99%, reflecting consistently positive experiences. This momentum contributes directly to Sectigo receiving 15 total badge honors across the CLM and SSL/TLS Certificate Tools categories:

“Being named the Leader in Certificate Lifecycle Management by G2 for three consecutive years is a powerful reflection of the outcomes our customers achieve with Sectigo,” said Nick France, CTO at Sectigo. “Shorter certificate lifetimes are here now, compressing renewal cycles and exposing the limits of manual processes. As we see certificate management needs surge globally, our new recognition as a CLM leader across different regions confirms that Sectigo delivers the automation, visibility, and reliability enterprises require globally.”
