Keep the tills open from Black Friday to Boxing Day.

E-commerce platforms, POS estates, in-store IoT, and payment gateways all live and die by valid certificates. TigerTrust delivers PCI-DSS aligned certificate management across every channel — with the reliability retail peak season demands.

The problem

Peak season is exactly when things must not break.

One expired certificate on the checkout stack turns Black Friday into a P0 news story. Manual PKI can't keep up with thousands of POS terminals, hundreds of stores, and an e-commerce platform that scales 10x on peak days.

Without retail-grade PKI
  • POS terminals with certs nobody knows how to rotate remotely
  • E-commerce checkout drops on peak day because a cert expired at 03:00
  • Store networks run stale TLS — one breach becomes a headline
  • Franchisees and third-party partners share cert bundles by email
  • PCI-DSS quarterly scan fails on a subdomain nobody remembered
With TigerTrust retail PKI
  • Zero-touch remote rotation across POS estates
  • Pre-flight validation blocks bad renewals before checkout traffic hits
  • Central policy enforces TLS 1.3 across every store and channel
  • Per-franchisee tenants with delegated administration
  • Continuous PCI-DSS inventory across every store subdomain
POS estate

Remote rotation across thousands of terminals

The TigerTrust agent runs on POS terminals, kiosks, and store gateways. Certificates rotate over the store WAN with health-gated cutover — no field engineer, no store visit.

How it works
  • Lightweight agent for POS OSes
  • Rotation over LTE fallback
  • Health-gated cutover per terminal
  • Fleet inventory across every store

E-commerce

Checkout that never drops on peak day

Pre-flight validation, canary rollout, and automatic rollback protect checkout traffic during renewals. Cert expiry never surprises the CDN or the payment gateway.

How it works
  • CDN-integrated renewal (Cloudflare, Akamai, Fastly)
  • Peak-day change freeze support
  • Canary + rollback on renewal
  • PCI-DSS 4.0 aligned issuance

Multi-brand

One platform across brands and franchisees

Manage certificates for parent brand, subsidiaries, and franchised partners under one control plane. Delegated administration keeps each brand's crypto separate — with central compliance visibility.

How it works
  • Multi-tenant per brand
  • Delegated franchisee admin
  • Per-brand policy inheritance
  • Consolidated audit across the portfolio
Multi-brand retail portfolio management
PCI compliance

PCI-DSS 4.0 evidence, quarterly-scan ready

Continuous inventory of every subdomain, every store terminal, every payment endpoint. Reports mapped to PCI-DSS 4.0 controls and ASV scan expectations.

How it works
  • Continuous subdomain enumeration
  • PCI Req 4 and Req 6 evidence
  • ASV-scan ready inventory
  • P2PE and EMV compatibility

Black Friday to Boxing Day, zero checkout outages from certs.

One expired cert on the checkout stack used to be an eight-figure news story. Two peak seasons in, we have not had one. Our peak-season war room got quieter.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The agent is designed for constrained store networks. It runs on Windows, Linux, and embedded POS OSes with a footprint under 20MB. LTE fallback covers primary-WAN outages. Rotation is bandwidth-aware — a 2KB certificate ships fine over a store's DSL backup. Health-gated cutover per terminal ensures a single failed rotation does not brick a lane.
A first-class feature. You declare freeze windows (e.g. 15 Nov through 5 Jan) per brand or per environment. During freeze, TigerTrust extends any certificate that would expire inside the window using a controlled bridge cert, defers non-critical rotations, and elevates on-call for the ones that must proceed. No renewal accidentally lands mid-Black Friday.
Continuous subdomain enumeration surfaces every payment-related endpoint (including the ones marketing spun up without telling security). Requirement 4 evidence covers TLS strength and rotation cadence. Requirement 6 evidence covers change management and vulnerability posture. Quarterly ASV scan support is built in — the scan finds nothing that TigerTrust did not already flag.
Each brand or franchisee gets its own tenant with delegated admin. Parent brand sets guardrail policy (approved algorithms, validity ceilings, brand-approved CAs); franchisees operate their own certs within those guardrails. Audit rolls up to the portfolio owner while day-to-day operations stay local. This matches how most multi-brand retailers actually run.
Yes. Native integrations for Cloudflare, Akamai, and Fastly manage cert lifecycle at the CDN edge. When TigerTrust renews, the CDN's SNI cert updates atomically with pre-flight validation on a canary POP first. If the canary fails, the rollback is instant and traffic never sees a broken TLS handshake.
TigerTrust supports the certificate flows expected by EMV terminal certification and Point-to-Point Encryption solution scope. Payment terminal identities are provisioned per PCI PIN Transaction Security requirements. For solution providers under P2PE, the key custody and audit trail satisfies P2PE evaluation without additional work.

Never lose a sale to a certificate.
