DigiCert Private Intermediate CA

Strengthen your private PKI with a dedicated intermediate certificate authority built for controlled issuance and clear trust boundaries. DigiCert Private Intermediate CA gives infrastructure teams a structured way to issue and manage internal certificates without exposing the root CA to routine operations. Use it to enforce certificate policy, segment trust, and support separation of duties across security and operations teams. In enterprise environments, that matters: the intermediate CA becomes the operational layer where issuance rules, lifecycle controls, and internal trust relationships are managed with precision. This model fits organizations that need dependable certificate governance for internal applications, device authentication, service identities, and private trust chains. It is especially valuable when certificate sprawl, audit requirements, or multi-team administration make a single shared issuance model too loose. For teams standardizing PKI across data centers, hybrid environments, and internal platforms, a private intermediate CA provides the control point that cheaper, ad hoc certificate approaches cannot match. It helps preserve trust architecture while keeping the root CA protected and offline.
