DigiCert Private Intermediate CA

Extend private trust with an intermediate CA built for organizations that need tighter control over certificate issuance. DigiCert Private Intermediate CA sits between your root trust and the certificates issued to internal workloads, giving security teams a practical way to segment trust, apply policy, and manage identity at scale. This model is suited to environments where certificate governance matters as much as availability. It helps separate issuance domains, reduce exposure of root credentials, and support structured PKI operations across applications, endpoints, and infrastructure services. For teams running multiple business units, environments, or trust tiers, an intermediate CA provides the administrative boundary needed to keep certificate operations organized and auditable. Choose this class of private CA when you need more than basic signing. It supports enterprise certificate programs that must align with internal policy, operational controls, and long-term trust management. The result is a cleaner PKI design with clearer responsibility boundaries and a stronger foundation for internal authentication, encryption, and device identity.
