PKI for Mid-Sized Businesses
Get started now with DARZ Managed PKI & CLM
Full Control. Less Errors. More Automation.
Whether you want to automate your first certificates or redesign your PKI from the ground up, “DARZ Managed PKI & CLM powered by MTG” makes it easy, secure, and reliable to get started. Our customers value not only our technology and expertise, but above all our dependable collaboration: with direct access to experienced PKI experts – no detours, no obstacles. Personally available, solution-oriented, and there exactly when it matters most.
The ideal way to get started with the FREE plan: With the free full version of our DARZ Managed PKI & CLM solution, you can begin working productively right away — with no setup required and no cost. Usage is limited to 50 certificates, but all features are fully available. This allows you to gain valuable hands-on experience and even import and manage your own certificates at no charge.
The DARZ Managed PKI & CLM offering combines German technological expertise with highly secure operations in Germany. The PKI & CLM software is provided by MTG, a leading specialist in encryption technologies and PKI. Operations are conducted exclusively in DARZ’s fail-safe, scalable, and multiply certified data centers in Darmstadt and Frankfurt — with full data sovereignty over all keys and data.
MTG CLM makes certificate management simple, transparent, and secure. The interface is deliberately designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, enabling IT teams without specialized PKI expertise to efficiently manage all certificate processes. Whether requesting, renewing, revoking, or reporting, all functions are centrally available and can be automated. This helps prevent errors, reliably meet compliance requirements, and significantly reduce day-to-day dependence on specialized experts.
With automation in MTG CLM, time-consuming and error-prone routine tasks are reliably eliminated. Certificates can be fully automated, from enrollment and renewal to distribution and revocation, whether for servers, network devices, mobile endpoints, or applications. Thanks to support for common standard interfaces (ACME, EST, SCEP, CMP), as well as REST API and CLI, virtually any infrastructure can be integrated.
The result: less effort, reduced risk, greater security, and IT teams can focus on their core responsibilities instead of tracking certificate expirations.
Not every company has in-house PKI expertise, and it doesn’t have to. We work with a partner network of experienced consultants, giving you access to in-depth expertise at any time. From initial preparation and support during implementation and migration to ongoing operational guidance, our experts ensure that projects are delivered faster, more securely, and in full compliance, without the need to build up internal specialist resources.
The development of quantum computing will make traditional cryptographic methods such as RSA and ECC insecure in the long term. With DARZ Managed PKI & CLM based on the MTG PKI, organizations are already prepared for this shift today. The platform supports the post-quantum algorithms standardized by NIST and is consistently designed for crypto-agility, ensuring a smooth transition into the post-quantum era.
With “DARZ Managed PKI & CLM powered by MTG”, companies maintain full control over their costs at all times. Getting started is free with the FREE plan. In the BUSINESS plan, you can scale flexibly in increments of 500 certificates, with small price steps up to 10,000 certificates. The ENTERPRISE plan also offers fair pricing tiers for large volumes, where the cost per certificate decreases significantly as volumes grow.
