Introduction to TigerTrust

Learn what TigerTrust is and how it helps manage certificate lifecycle.

What is TigerTrust?

TigerTrust is an enterprise Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM) and Machine Identity Management platform. It automates certificate discovery, renewal, and deployment across cloud-native infrastructures.

Key Capabilities

  • Certificate Discovery: Automatically discover certificates across your infrastructure including filesystems, Kubernetes, cloud providers, and network endpoints
  • Lifecycle Automation: Automate certificate renewal, deployment, and rotation with zero-downtime
  • Multi-Cloud Support: Native integrations with AWS, Azure, GCP, and on-premises infrastructure
  • SSH Key Management: Discover, rotate, and manage SSH keys across your fleet
  • Compliance & Audit: Complete audit trails and compliance reporting for SOC2, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA

Architecture Overview

TigerTrust uses a distributed architecture with these core components:

ComponentDescription
DashboardReact-based web interface for certificate management
Backend APINode.js/Express API with 39+ route modules
CollectorGo service for agent communication and task distribution
AgentLightweight Go agent deployed on customer infrastructure
PKI CoreGo service for certificate authority operations
WorkersBackground processors for renewal, alerts, and automation

Security Model

TigerTrust follows a zero-trust security model:

  • Outbound-only connections: Agents only initiate outbound HTTPS connections
  • API key authentication: Per-agent API keys with workspace isolation
  • Private keys never leave premise: CSR generation happens locally on agents
  • TLS 1.2+ encryption: All communication encrypted in transit
  • Multi-tenant isolation: Workspace-based data isolation

  1. Create an account at app.tigertrust.io
  2. Generate an API key for your workspace
  3. Install the agent on your infrastructure
  4. Discover certificates automatically on agent startup
  5. Configure renewals and deployment automation
