DigiCert Private Intermediate CA

Build a private trust layer that keeps certificate issuance under your control. DigiCert Private Intermediate CA is designed for organizations that need a dedicated intermediate authority within a private PKI architecture, separating issuance policy from public trust services and giving security teams a cleaner way to govern internal identities. This model fits environments where certificate sprawl, inconsistent policy enforcement, or shared trust roots create operational risk. By placing issuance behind a private intermediate CA, teams can define certificate policy, constrain usage, and maintain clearer audit boundaries across internal applications, devices, and services. For infrastructure and security leaders, the value is control without unnecessary complexity. A private intermediate CA supports structured certificate management for enterprise environments that depend on predictable trust chains, repeatable issuance practices, and tighter administrative oversight. It is a strong fit when the cost of weak PKI governance is measured in outages, failed authentication, or compliance exposure. Use it to establish a more disciplined certificate hierarchy and support internal trust at scale.
